P90X well into the “Bring it Factor”

Well hello everyone , it’s been a while since I last updated this post.  No one need to fear, Shanna and I have been doing the p90x without a hitch , and we still haven’t missed a day.  I have noticed the weight loss coming to a temporary halt, I reported last time I lost 11 lbs.  Well I’m still 11lbs lighter.  I’ve decided to add in a couple days of high intensity cardio , so that’s two times a week for about 20 to 30 minutes. I figure doing the high intensity training a.k.a H.I.T will burn all the glycogen , along with lowering my carb count , I should get into ketosis.  However I just don’t want to lower my carbs too fast.  I’m currently consume about 100 to 150grams of carbohydrates.  As each week passes I slowly eliminate the amount I consume.  If any one is interested here’s a sample of the H.I.T  do

 

minute 0 to 5 – warm up , speed at 3.5 incline 0.5

minute 5 to 5:30 speed 9.9 incline 0.0

minute 5:30 to 7:oo speed 6.0 incline 0.0

minute 7 to minute 8 speed 3.5 incline 15

minute 8 to 9 speed 3.5 incline 0

Than repeat the above 2 more times, and finally cool down for 5 minutes.

 

Take note you can change the variables depending on your fitness level, if your a seasoned runner, you could probably change 6mph to 7.5 etc..

 

Well I hope that helps

 

Peace out
