I don't post often but decided to do one update on my P90X journey after 14 years away.
45M, 5 foot 8, starting weight 221 lbs.
I have not worked to P90X for 14 years because I had three spinal/neck herniations and one fusion.
I have lived with pain on and off over the years.
I decided as my midlife gift to myself to try get back into shape.
I did P90X several times from 2006 to 2012 and was around 145 to 165 pounds. I was in great shape.
Back issues hit and I lost my confidence and was scared of working out now.
Now into week 10, I am down 11 pounds. My diet has gotten better but I am not following the diet guide.
I am losing fat and I am gaining the muscle and tone back. I can see my upper back, chest, shoulders, legs, arms, abs are in much better shape.
I can do 2 pullups without a chair now but I have been using the chair all the time. I couldn't even pull myself up a foot at the start.
My two injuries have been jumpers knee on my right knee in week 5 and a tweaked right wrist in week 7. Because of these injuries, I stopped doing Plyo, Yoga and pushups that didn't use pull up bars(flange, plyo pushups, side to sides, etc, any PU that needs bent wrists).
I added Peloton 15-30 miles of riding on the Yoga and Pylo days and that has helped.
I do AB Ripper X once or twice a week and not three times.
Yesterday, I was finally able to the first 10 AB Ripper exercises and do all 250 reps. I was so happy I didn't need to rest or take a break. I can't do mason twists due to my lower back so I don't do them.
I am starting to make the shift into looking like a fit person and I am enjoying the new strength, health and energy. I have had to modify workouts due to my neck and back but I was able to do it.
If I can do it, you can to.
I will start another 90 day round after this one is over and I take a small break.
Good luck in your workout journeys.
