Tony Horton issues the P90X home fitness challenge to BRING IT! What a way to ring in the new year and new decade…90 days of P90X with Tony Horton. And that’s where my fitness journey brings me this year! The year of P90X and the transformation of Coach Tim Carter! Whoo hoo! This means a lot to me after the last couple of years.

Starting off 2010 with the P90X Lean series of workouts. Then it’ll be onto P90X Classic and ending off the year with P90X Doubles. It’s a challenge that Tony Horton issues on the P90X DVD’s “How to Bring it” video, he suggests trying the P90X lean, classic then doubles routine for extreme results. So how could I resist?

It’s been a long road on the home fitness path for me since 2005. Spring of ‘05 I was in a t-bone car accident caused by a guy running through an intersection. It took me over a year before I could be running and weightlifting without pain. I felt like my normal, active self. Playing co-ed softball, playing in disc golf tournaments…even thinking about running a half-marathon. But…

January 2008 found me in the middle another car accident (again I didn’t cause it)…this accident has been the LONG recovery process for me and easily could have put me in a wheelchair or six feet under. So I was blessed to be in the condition I was in. Several herniated discs in my neck. Constant muscle spasms, frequent headaches along with hardly getting a regular night of sleep had made workouts out fairly limited. By the end of 2008, the headaches were less intense, but the muscle spasms were still there…as was the new layer of belly fat that decided to creep on my stomach! So I decided to try P90X Lean workouts in a really limited and modified way. But experienced physical setbacks, so I stepped back my workouts. Though I DID lose body fat and gained muscle back! I was encouraged.

2009 was the year of Tony Horton’s 10 Minute Trainer workouts for me. Some days I’d feel pretty good and get two or three 10 minute workouts in. Days when I didn’t feel “great”, I’d still get in a short workout. I ended the year having logged in 274 workout in the WOWY SuperGym. All year was about making the transition from being injured, to healing and recovering. Not pushing too hard, but not being lazy. I broke the goal I set for the number of Beachbody workouts in one year I would do.

So to say that I’m excited about 2010 and starting my P90X Lean workouts today and P90X this year is a bit of an understatement. My goal with P90X is to get back into the physical condition to play in disc golf tournaments without pain, to be able to run without pain and ultimately slash my body fat percentage into single digits. Learn more about what is P90X Lean.

My plan here is to post weekly updates on my P90X Lean workouts as well as my transformation pictures during this year of P90X. I also plan to submit my physical transformation story after each round of my P90X workouts for the Million Dollar Body Game. I may even record a video or two as I continue to document my journey of living the Beachbody home fitness lifestyle. We’ll see.

I’m pretty nervous to see how my body will respond to full blown workouts of the intensity of P90X workouts. But I think that nervousness is like the nervous feeling I’d get in the moments leading up to lining up in the starting blocks for my 200m and 400m races back in my sprinting days. Fired up and focused.

Well, I should wrap this post up. I’ve still got to finish my P90X workout requirements of taking my measurements, take my pictures and get out my body fat tester. And push play on my 1st P90X workout of the new year! Next week, I’ll post my 1st week of P90X Lean along with my Day 1 numbers so we can see where I end up on Day 90!

What do you plan to do for your health & fitness in 2010? Your feedback and encouragement is ALWAYS welcome!

Life is busy for moms. That’s an understatement. I don’t know of a harder “profession” than being mothers. Early to rise, late to bed. There is nothing that can get your weight and fitness derailed than having a husband and kids.

Any workout schedule you used to have at the gym is a distant memory while your jeans keep getting tighter. Sure, you love your children and your husband more than anything in the world, but all day long it’s all about the kids until they’re FINALLY in bed, THEN you collapse, exhausted at the end of your long day…not ready to do it all over again tomorrow.

There are “baby steps”…things that you can start doing in terms of eating and exercise that can really have you back in your old jeans in no time. There is a way to have an home exercise workout schedule no matter how busy you get as a mom. You can lose some of that weight that didn’t disappear when you gave birth, and you will start having more energy and feeling better than ever.

To start with, all you need is 10 minutes for a workout. Can you just find ten minutes to workout in your busy day?

And then later you can start to work up to  30–40 minutes a day. Ten minutes is do-able and flexible. If you’re an early morning person, get up and workout before the kids wake up or when they’re down for their naps. Another solution is to let dad spend some quality time with the kids after he gets home from work, or exercise after the kids have gone to bed for the night.

The perfect program for the super busy mom is to start with is Beachbody’s Ten Minute Trainer. It’s SPECIFICALLY designed by Tony Horton, for people that are simply too busy for long workouts. In ten minutes a day you can lose weight, tone every muscle group, and sculpt your body into the way you wish it looked.

Tony Horton takes you through a QUICK and fun workout that will have you burning off fat, toning your entire body and working on those abs all at the same time. Ten Minute Trainer uses resistance band exercises to strengthen and tone. Combine these with an eating plan that’s all laid out for you and you will be wearing smaller jeans in as little as ten days. Tony guarantees it!

Why the 10 Minute Trainer Workout?

10 Minute Trainer works because of the science behind Tony Horton’s exclusive Super Stacking Technique. This technique allows you to build a workout program to fit your needs and your schedule in 10-minute increments!

10 Minute Trainer workouts combine cardio and strength training simultaneously, rather than one followed by the other. By working your entire body in 10-minute increments and fitting both strength training and cardio into those blocks, you get a super condensed workout in a fraction of the time other traditional workouts require.

You can take care of yourself and have an exercise workout schedule that fits your busy Mom life. Start out with Ten Minute Trainer because every mom needs to stay fit and healthy for her family!
