Day 17 With Tony Horton
I've been doing Tony Horton's 10 minute trainer workouts* and the AbRipperX for 16 days days now. I feel more energized than I have in a long time and the "mommy brain" fog has lifted...somewhat. Er,um, I did forget to pay an overdue bill again last week.
<--------- Yes, that's me on Day 10. You can view it here on flickr too.
The best part in all of this is that I ACTUALLY enjoy doing it. Well, all except a few of those trying-to-kill-you AbRipper X moves. To get started, I just MUTE Tony and turn up some of my favorite upbeat R&B music.
Right now my workout playlist includes:
Blame It - Jamie Foxx
How Do You Sleep - Jesse McCartney
Love In This Club - Usher
Please Don't Leave Me - Pink
Different Day - State of Shock
When I first started this program over 2 weeks ago I thought it would be like any other time I started an exercise program. I'd start then quit a few days later. Like this time over here. Quitting has been my "thing" for the past 8 years. So, in essence I haven't really exercised in 8 years unless you count cleaning the house or playing with the kids. I know, I'm horrible. But being the naturally thin person that I am - I've gotten by with it up until now.
Now that I'm not getting any younger, I'm starting to worry about things like diabetes, cholesterol, heart health, and longevity. Plus I want to look great in a bikini. How shallow of me? Don't we all though? I also want to show my boys (8 & 4) that physical activity/exercise is an important part of our day.
I know, I'm not that "old" at 32 but now is as good a time as any to get healthy don't you think?
So, I'm sharing this here to keep myself accountable and I plan on sharing regular updates and photos.
*No, I am not getting paid to talk about the 10 minute trainer ( I wish!). Actually, my husband got it for himself.
BTW, we are also going more green - it really is cheaper than you think!Labels: mom fitness, P90x, Tony Horton

Great job on sticking it out with Tony Horton. I had to laugh at the part where you "mute" him...as I do the same VERY often and put in my iPod! You are looking fabulous!
Great job, great results. I officially dislike you though since your abs look amazing :) just kidding. Thanks for posting and motivating other thirty somthing moms out here in the blogosphere.
Wow--I may have to try that.
Thanks for the comments.
Right now I'm just trying to get through my detoxing symptoms, but once I do I'd like to find a program that'll work for me and my weak back. Back problems run in the family, and I have messed up hips, too. lol I'm a wreck, but you look fabulous!

how long is the ab video? What is your total workout time? (2 under 2 here...so time is of the essence!)
Danielle - AbRipperX is 16 minutes long. Every thing else is 10 minutes each. I started out doing 1 10 minute workout per day. Now I'm doing 2-3 per day. The ten minute trainer workouts are meant for busy people like us! ;)
I love that you mute the DVD and put on your own music!!!
You look great! I can't wait to see your next picture!
Dude, YOU LOOK HOT! Go you! :-) Forgive my ignorance but is that via cable or did you buy a DVD? I've been doing the Jillian shred thing (actually her other, longer programs these days) -- love that it's free on cable! -Christine
Boston Mamas - it's a DVD. I started with the 10 minute trainers and now I'm onto P90x. It's about 45-50 min per day. I suggest doing the 10 minute trainers for a few weeks then work yourself up to the real P90x.
