Round 3 in the books

I'm back!  I took a little hiatus from blogging but I'm back.  Look for a fresh new site to be in place soon.  Same URL of http://www.getfitwithgreg.com/. 

To catch you up.  I am finishing round 3 of P90X + this week.  I ordered Turbo Fire and trying to figure out my hybrid schedule so I can do the intense interval training of TF and mixing in resistance training. 

I completed my transformation video of my first 3 rounds. 



I am very happy with my results and how I feel.  I look forward in continuing my journey of health and fitness by taking it to a new level yet.  The importance of following the nutrition plan is HUGE  It is by far the largest contributing factor in getting great results.

I took a little vacation recently as well.  I had my 20 year high school reunion and then met my family at a lake in MN for 3 days.  My sister just finished her INSANITY challenge and I tested out Max Interval Plyo in the motel fitness room.  We got some looks and I made it through.  I was soaked but it felt good.

Now for my next challenge:  Turbo Fire and mix of some type of weight training.  Stayed tuned for further info.

Turbo Fire

It arrived!!

I ordered a hat that in high demand.  They ran out and had to print more.  I waited and waited and waited.  I called and called and called.   7 weeks later, my P90X hat is here!  The consolation prize:  It is a nice quality one,   It was worth the wait.

My round 3 update:  I am finishing up week 9 tomorrow.  3 more weeks and then I think it's time to move on to something new.  Turbo Fire is calling my name.  More info to come on that. 

Finishing up Week 1

I started today taking my 2 daughters to the Fun Run in town to raise money for the High School cross country team.  I ran the 1.5 mile course with my 5 year old and tried to keep her on pace while my 8 year old ran ahead.  They both did great and really seemed to have fun. 

Then it was time for Kenpo Cardio + and a make up session of the Abs / Core that i missed from yesterday.   I was full of energy getting back from the very casual run and busted out the Kenpo.  I have been moving faster on it and really trying to concentrate on keeping my heart rate up.  I kept it around 155-160 for most of the time.  Once I was done, I was pretty drenched.  The good kind of sweat!  I am feeling great!

Word from the Beachbody Summit that is going on this weekend in Los Angeles:  A new workout called Turbo Fire is set to be released in late May or early June.   It is taking Turbo Jam to the next level.

A brief excerpt from the preview:
"Turbo Fire will feature a combination of intense, lengthier workouts with plyometrics (jumping exercises) and tough cardio interspersed with shorter, more intense workouts called "HIITS", which stands for High Intensity Interval Training. These are similar to Turbo Jam Fat Blasters, but shorter and with more plyometrics, greater intensity and shorter breaks. HIITS are brutally tough--they force you to work in your anaerobic zone, and will melt the fat right off you while toning EVERYTHING up.! "
It sounds very intriguing to me!
