The Results are In!! - Day 97 (Graduation Day)

Here we go...."Sophomore Year" is done!  Monday starts my junior year.  Saturday and Sunday is my summer vacation!  I'm gonna have a ton of stuff in this post...tests and measurements before and after as well as pictures and a video.  Enjoy!  My wife sees a big difference, I don't see it nearly as much...not until I look at my belt holes.  I went in 5 belt holes...when I move it out to the 2nd hole and see the space between it and my waist, I see a significant change then!  I feel a lot better too!

Here are the "Day 97 Pix"




Here's a video of each pose for Day -1, 30, 60, 97.


Ok...enough of the multimedia presentations.  Here are some before and after statistics:

Before and After Body Measurements:

Resting Heart Rate: from 92 to 76
Weight: from 293 to 258
Chest: from 51.5" to 47"
Waist: from 54" to 47.5"
Hips: from 48" to 44.5"
Right Thigh: from 25.5" to 24.5"
Left Thigh: from 27" to 26"
Right Arm: from 17" to 15.5"
Left Arm:  from 16.5" to 16"

 The Fit Test was done the day before I started P90X.  There are 2 numbers for each activity.  The first is the Pre-test.  The 2nd is the Post-test.

1. Pull-Ups:  0, 0 (but I can at least lift myself a bit and I can do a bunch with the aid of a chair)
     (Pretty straight forward here...)
2. Vertical Leap: 10.5", 19"
     (Standing position, bend knees and leap straight up in the air)
3. Push-Ups: 20, 30
     (Do as many standard push-ups until you fail)
4. Toe Touch: 2.25" beyond toes, 5" beyond toes
     (Seated with legs straight and together, reach as far past toes as possible)
5. Wall Squat:  1:15, 2:01
     (Bend knees to simulate sitting in a chair, knees at 90 degrees and hold as long as possible)
6. Bicep Curls (30 pounds per arm): 20, 32
     (Pretty straight forward here also...)
7. In & Outs: 30, 41
     (Lying on your back, feet about 6" above ground, move legs in and out without touching the floor)
8. Heart Rate Maximizer:
     (2 minutes of jumping jacks with last 30 seconds as fast as possible first, then take heart rate 5 times)
    Immediately after jumping jacks: 162, 146
      1 minute after stopping: 134, 114
      2 minutes after stopping: 118, 110
      3 minutes after stopping: 116, 108
      4 minutes after stopping: 112, 104

Hopefully this was all clear...I know it's a lot of info, but I wanted you to have a pretty complete picture.  I'm looking forward to the progress I make between now and day 187.  Have a great day!!  Thanks for reading...another exciting 3 months ahead!!
