30 on 30: 4 days and counting

mark — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 15:19:10 +0000

Wow, I am turning 30 in a couple of days here. I am running 30 miles on that day. I feel somewhat prepared. I am nervous and scared at the same time. I know I can finish but the problem is how long it is going to take me to finish. I have a goal of 7 hours. I know it will take long because of the distance along with the traffic and whatever things could happen. I need to get some running in this week for it also.

My calves are sore from the weekend and I need them to be 100%. I did too much dancing and jumping. But its ok.

I will also be carb loading all week. I don’t think I want to be bonked on this run at all. I think I will be burning close to 3000 calories so I need the extra carbs for the week.

Review: One on One Tony Horton: Cardio 5-6 (Super Cardio)

mark — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 16:32:26 +0000

I want to say that I love the One on One workouts with Tony Horton. I like how it is unscripted and you find yourself trying to compete to keep up with the man.

If you haven’t attempted P90X and maybe even the P90X+ workouts then this workout will really punish you. It might be a little short compared to the P90X workouts but I was wanting to push pause throughout this workout. I wish I had my heart rate monitor but it broke about a year ago and since then I haven’t gotten a new one.

The workouts are setup almost like Interval X+ but you do 3 moves and repeat them for 3 rounds then you do a total of 3 different sets of these. The total video is 47 minutes while the last 10 or so is some cool down and stretching.

Once I started the video, we immediately started doing a warmup with jumping and doing jacks. After that we immediately jumped into stretching the body.

After that mumbo jumbo came the real cardio. I was huffing and puffing throughout the workout. Anything to do with squats and jumping will raise your heart rate. You do a combination of that with punching and some running. I was almost dying through the first round. The first two rounds are killer while the last one you can catch your breath. I would recommend to add this to workout the normal P90X routine as it gives a new workout to the whole routine.

Got any questions or comments let me know. If you are looking for the video here it is: One on One with Tony Horton

Tony Horton PowerStands review

mark — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 17:05:26 +0000

What can I say about a great product. I have had these for only a week and I love them already. I have used push up bars or stands for awhile since doing P90X but these are the best I have tried. I haven’t tried the perfect pushup but these give me great range of motion and comfort. I love the fact that they are really sturdy and have a great cushion for comfort. The other push up stands I have were not as great. They hurt my hands and I felt some pain in my palms while I was doing pushups.

With these new PowerStands I have a greater range of motion and they do feel more stiff and solid. These might cost a little bit more but they do the job and I feel that they will last forever. If you haven’t tried any pushup stands you should give them a try. If you are trying to find these here is the link: PowerStands. Just click on the link and go to Shop for Products link.
