Start of Phase 2, P90X2

Hey everyone.  I just started phase 2 of X2.  Chest back and balance was today.  For those who have done the original P90x, it works much the same way where you are alternating push ups and pull ups.  But all the push up moves are on medicine balls and/or a stability ball.  You can really tell that is what phase 1 is preparing you for.  Without that 4 week work up, getting used to being on the balls and unstable surfaces you have no shot at doing this one.  Even with phase one in the books I had to do some of the push up moves on my knees to keep from falling off the medicine balls.  Like they say, modify, modify modify.  Trust me you do not want to go flying off when you are doing a push up with medicine balls. 

Here are my 30 day vs day 1 numbers.

Weight  ---179.2   to 174.8 (- 4.4 lbs)
Waist   ----38.8"   to 37.2" (- 1.6")
Hips    -----39"     to  38.4" (-.6")
Chest   -----42.5"  to  40" (-2.5")
Thighs ------ ~23"  to ~22"  (-1")
Arms  ------- ~12"  to ~12" (no change)
Bodyfat ------ ~22% to ~20% (- ~ 2%)

I am posting a pic on my beachbody message board thread.  I posted the link in one of my early posts on X2 so those of you so inclined can head over there and check it out.  Thanks for reading.  Have a good weekend.  Have to give a shout out to my readers from Russia.  I think that is pretty cool.
