BRING IT! (Thought I'd get that out of the way.) Oh, we done brung it. Fortunately, Ena, is a lot like me, and she was smart enough to BRING a bottle of liquid muscle relaxer to the P90X "How to Bring It" video screening. Go Ena!
So we're watching "How to Bring It" (great title, BTW), because we needed to get prepped and pumped to BRING IT, and it turns out to be "How to Buy Stuff You Didn't Know You Needed to Buy to Bring It." Hmmmmm. Well, maybe I will get a heart monitor. But I don't think I need the Beach Body workout matt, bands, supplements, bars, yoga blocks, etc., etc., etc. I think I got a lot of program for my money so far, but let us not go nuts with extra shit just yet.
After we watched the How to Buy More Stuff From Us video, I noticed that the How To video had some "bonus" workouts on it. So I started the UML (upper, middle, lower?) video (well, accidentally started that, because I thought I was starting the interval cardio one, but, whatever). And it looked pretty easy. So I jumped up and started doing it. And lo, it WAS easy. Are they messing with me? I couldn't stop doing the UML and pretty soon Ena had no choice and was up doing it with me. It was only about 40 minutes and very doable -- easy to follow, not crazy fast, doable. And it turns out that you can totally do the UML while drinking a glass of wine -- I mean they had drink breaks. I don't think it's recommended -- they were drinking water. But we managed to make it through with our wine. So we got to drink AND workout and feel good about it -- fist bump, oh yeah.
We watched the Interval video with more wine, which was good, because that one looked a lot harder and was almost an hour. But it was easy to ignore in the background and now I know what it is like. Plus we totally planned a progressive Spa Day for the girls in our hood -- we have 5 homes on three blocks and we can totally do facials, mani-pedis, yoga, lunch, etc. at our different homes sometime in July when it's hotter than Hades out here and we need a break. On the To Do list.
I'm thinking about jumpin' in and getting started with my 90 days of Bringin' It today. I'm supposed to do either the chest and back workout plus the ab ripper X, or the Core Synergistics workout. Will let you know if I get either one done. Oh, and I'm supposed to take "Before" photos too. Ouch, friggin', ouch. But I like that they even tell you how to pose for your six before and six after photos. That could be fun.
