Jonahgirl’s BodyBlog

I got called down to the fitness center from my office upstairs to give an orientation to a new member. The lady was 85 and holding an oxygen tank. I’m thinking "Okay, this is going to interesting."

She told me she had fallen and during the surgery to repair the damage the doctor had cut the nerve to her diaphram thus the need for the O2. She told me she was there to "get back in shape" so she could walk like she used to. All she planned on doing was the treadmill. I demonstrated all the features then had her give it a tray. She isn’t going to be breaking speed records but that is just inspiring.

I finished Phase One of p90x near the end of last week. Body fat dropped 2.9% putting me back down to my lowest of 16.3% (caliper measurement). I will continue the Fat Shredder Nutrition Plan for two more weeks while upping my calories a bit so I won’t lose anymore weight. The biggest improvement was my arms and shoulders. I had lost a lot of definition since summer due to not being able to work upper body hard for almost 12 weeks. Six pack abs still remain elusive.

I have to say I do love the workouts and being able to do it at home is a real bonus.
