FitYaf's 2014 Fitness Goals

1/6/2014

FitYaf's 2014 Fitness Goals
Happy New Year everyone!  I took a break from blogging over the holidays, but I'm back and ready for a great year!  I wasn't really planning on setting any goals for the year (I tend to think more in the shorter term when it comes to goals), but last week I attended a New Year's run at Philadelphia Runner (which wound up being a 5k in the snow), and as part of the after party, we declared our 2014 running goals.  I had some running goals that I've been thinking about for a while now, so I decided to declare them loud and proud (and throw in some extras for good measure).  After all - sharing goals with the world is one of the best ways hold yourself accountable, right?  I bring to you both my running AND fitness goals for 2014!

1. Run a 5k in under 25 minutes

I'll be doing a modified version of this workout 2-3 times/week: How far can you run in 30 minutes? (doing the workout three times before going to the next level).  I'll also throw in some speed workouts for good measure.  This goal is a little bit of a "cheat" goal, since I'm already pretty close!

2. Run a half marathon in under 1 hour and 50 minutes

I'm hoping that my weekday training (goal #1), will help me meet this goal.  I haven't had many long runs since the Philly Half Marathon, but starting this week, I'm going to change that.  I'm signed up for the Philly LOVE Run on March 30, so this will be my first chance to tackle this goal.  It'll be 3:25 off my last half marathon, so it's a little bit of a stretch for me, but dream big, right?

3. Run 1000 miles in a year

I came up with this goal, on the fly - after saying it out loud, it sounded crazy, but after doing the math, I realized it's really not THAT daunting of a goal (on average less than 3 miles/day).  With my commute to work, I do walk quite a bit, so I am also going to keep track of my walking, in case I need to steal any of these miles to hit my total!

4. Do 5 pullups in a row

Last year, I was able to complete my first unassisted pullup EVER!  It felt amazing, but I haven't really focused on my pull ups since.  Every once in a while, I'll check in with the pullup bar to make sure I still can do a pullup (I can), but I want to work more on this so that I can do 5 in a row!

5. Consistently use 10kg total for the biceps track in Bodypump

Every time I run a challenge group, I make it a goal to do a bodypump bicep track with 5kg weights on each side.  Each time I meet this goal, my arms feel like they might fall off, and I drop my weight when the challenge is over.  I'd really like to strengthen my biceps to the point where this weight selection in the "norm" for me.  It's going to involve some strength training outside of Bodypump, so I'll start with my favorite P90x workout - shoulders, biceps and triceps.

Everything you need to know about P90x 3

12/10/2013

0 Comments

 
All good things come in threes, but be warned: P90X3 is far from a trilogy. No, P90X3 is NOT the kid sister workout. It’s the workout that took notes from it’s siblings, then condensed, and accelerated to become the most dynamic and fastest workout yet.

The ultimate excuse buster
Time is the biggest excuse. P90X3 solves that. Every workout is 30 minutes and the clock starts the minute you push play. Before you can say “drop and give me 10,” it’s over and you are one workout closer to the six-pack of your dreams. 
Everything you need to know about P90x 3
Muscle acceleration explained
Many P90X fans were hooked on the science of muscle confusion – which introduced variety to the workouts and prevented plateauing. P90X3 takes a hint from that success and from studies showing the most dramatic body transformations happen within the first 30 minutes of exercise. Enter muscle acceleration, a Tony Horton-approved highly-structured schedule with an incredibly high level of intensity and an unprecedented variety of moves. The gurus behind P90X3 combined exercises and added some twists to maximize your time and keep every muscle challenged for a full 30 minutes.

Say goodbye to boredom
Along with the constant entertainment, P90X3 has the most workouts of any Beachbody program. With 16 workouts in the base kit, they switch it up before you have a chance to consider boredom. From cardio to strength to pilates to MMX, there is something for everyone. 

The ideal P90X3-er
It may seem lofty to proclaim, but P90X3 is indeed a workout for everyone.  Everyone searching for tighter abs and leaner muscles, that is. But fitness novices and experts need not be afraid by P90X3’s come-one-come-all invitation. You don’t have to have any previous P90X experience in order to get killer results. For the beginner, the variety of workouts in P90X3 is the perfect place to discover their fitness style. If the move can be modified there is a cast member showing you how. But don’t expect to be an expert on day one. (Yes, fitness veterans will still be challenged.)

It doesn’t stop there
And of course there are some bells and whistles too good to ignore. First off, the FitYaf exclusive: If P90X3 is purchased any time from December 10th – 31st (including Challenge Packs), you will receive an exclusive P90X3 baseball cap.

And last but not least, we have the app: Yes, now for the first time the P90X app is available on Android and iOS. The app includes P90X guided workouts, tools to track your reps, weights and progress. Launching soon, is the P90X3 addition – which brings you workout specific tracking modules, scheduling options and the motivation you need to power through the 90 days. P90X3 scheduling and tracking will be available on the app for Android on 12/10 and is coming soon for iPhone. Check out the app and get ready to bring it!

The P90X3 Facts:

  • All workouts are 30 minutes long
  • The warm-up is 2 minutes and then constant work for the remaining 28 minutes
  • There is a separate warm-up disk called Cold Start if you need a longer warm-up due to environment, time of day, etc
  • P90X3 is a separate program from P90X and P90X2, not a harder version
  • Anyone can start on P90X3, even beginners
  • The nutrition plan goes back to SIMPLE nutrition basics of Power 90 and healthy eating
  • There are 16 workouts in the P90X3 base System including a new Pilates based workout.
  • If you've done P90X or P90X2, you'll see similar moves and all new stuff too
  • P90X3 will also include an all new Isometrics workout, a new Strength/Balance/Flexibility workout with Static Holds and CVX: Cardiovascular Extreme - a Cardio workout with weights

  • Additional workouts include MMX, a Mixed Martial Arts Extreme that expands the Kenpo workout, Agility X- an all new agility programming, and yes, Yoga is still part of the program, but it's only 30 mins!!!
  • There are 4 schedules in P90X3 - classic, lean, doubles, and bulk
  • 39 out of 40 people in the Test group lost 10% of their body fat!!!!! (Whoa! How awesome is that?!)
  • Equipment needed will include weights or bands (a pull-up bars is great like in P90X, but optional) 
  • Every move in X3 has a beginner/modified, in between move, and challenging/hard
  • This program is based on science that suggests the first 30 minutes is the most effective part of any exercise routine, so we accelerate the workouts to create the most effective 30 minute routine
  • Most of the Abs moves are athletic in nature - some are standing up and many are front facing instead of being on your back
