So I started this post a week ago and it’s amazing how little time there is left in the day to write about it after 1 to 1.5 hours of workout plus 1 to 1.5 hours of juggling practice.
Anyway, the big experiment is to see what kind of effect the P90X workout would have on my juggling. I have already been a part of my company’s “biggest loser” weight loss competition and finished first, so naturally my juggling skills have improved just from not having to move so much weight around! Oh, and yes, the competition was directed by a dietition, so none of us were on crazy liquid diets.
So, to begin, I have the set of 12 DVDs, my pull-up bar and my power blocks in the TV room and have completed the first 2 weeks of training. I’m very excited about this because I can feel the results right away, unlike with traditional weight lifting where I hope to see an effect on my juggling performance when my arms heal.
I’ll spare everyone a “before” picture. You all know what I look like. 
At any rate, I’m in week 3 of 12 and today’s juggling practice was a win all over. 5 club double backcrosses, 9 catches back to a cascade several times. 9 ring runs in the 20’s several times. 7 clubs in the 20’s several times. A bonus 6 club fountain to backcrosses, score! Today felt great. Granted this is one of the only day’s I’ve had to postpone my morning P90X workout until the afternoon, so my arms and shoulders were fresh for juggling, but still it felt good to have some progress.
Every other morning the alarm rings at 5am, the only way I figured out how to fit it all in was to sleep less. Oh, and DVR everything because there’s no time for TV. I’m looking forward to week 4 where there’s no resistance training (rest week) and I can film some of this practice.
Until next time…
