Day 90! P90X2 Results...

Numbers are in! There are some that I am a little disappointed in and others that I'm surprised at. So here's the run down, with a little commentary:

• Lost 15 lbs and 4 inches... I'll take it! A more concerted effort at healthy eating would've helped these numbers. But, it's more than I lost with P90X and I'm that much closer to my goals.
• Lost 4.5% body fat... Same response as above.
• Vertical leap improved by almost 3 inches... This was one that really surprised me. I guess Plyocide knows what it's doing. I would think that this may improve running some...
• Can do 1/2 pull up... I was really hoping for a full pull up. But, this is 1/2 pull up more than I've ever been able to do before. We're looking to install a pull up bar and then I'd like to get the P90X Pull-up Assist band... I think actually doing the motion instead of the band modifications may improve my chances here.
• Push ups increased from 20 to 34... This was another exciting one for me. I no longer find myself dropping to my knees to complete the push up reps... that's pretty huge!
• In and Outs (an ab move) increased from 100 to 137... mixed thoughts on this one. It's kind of an easy move for me... so I feel silly doing it to exhaustion because it takes so long. When I stopped it was because my legs were worn out (cruel to have wall sit before this).
• Wall sit improved by exactly double the length of time. That was only 3:06 before I gave in, so I'd still like to be able to improve here... but, I want to walk tomorrow and start my running on Monday.
• Bicep curls improved by about 15 reps... this is one where I really need to increase weight for the test so that I'm not doing a ton before exhaustion. But, I used the heaviest weights we had. I didn't want to switch to bands since I used weights for the pre-test.

So, I'd say that I'm happy. I can see results and feel pretty good about what I was able to achieve in a mere 90 days! Next up, training for the 5/6/12 Half Marathon in Lincoln. Then on to Insanity.
