Getting Fit with P90X - The First Week back

I've tried doing P90X before. The first time I started during the school year (in my day gig I'm a public school teacher). I ended up hurting so badly that I decided to wait until the summer time.

During the summer I did well until I got my floors remodeled. (If you're looking to get your floors done, try C. Harris Int'l Flooring.) After that was done I decided that working out and cleaning my entire house of the sawdust residue was doing two workouts daily. Also, it's really, really hot in Florida during the summer and electricity is costly, lol. Interpret that however you want.

At any rate here's a quick rundown of the first week:
Day 1 - December 3rd Didn't do anything
Day 2 - Did two workouts; the one from day 1 Core Synergistics and day 2 Cardio X
Day 3 - Did nothing again
Day 4 - Did Shoulders & Arms. From previous experience I know Ab Ripper X is too intense for me. I meant to  do Yoga X later that night but it is incredibly long.
Day 5 - Did Legs & Back. Once again I did not do Ab Ripper X. Maybe I'll try to during Week 3.
Day 6 - I was supposed to do my favorite workout, Kenpo X, today, but personal problems got in the way (ughh!).
Day 7 - This day of the program is actually designated as a rest day or you can do the Stretch X dvd. I chose and will most likely always choose to rest.

In the future expect daily and more detailed posts. The program recommends their fitness drink; I found a comparable product found at Whole Foods. Check back for more details!

Getting Fit with P90X

You see the ads everywhere on TV and the Internet. Wondering if P90X really works or if it's all hype? Well we've done test runs of a few of the workouts and you do see results very early on. Starting in the next few days, check out ECV's blog for a 90-day rundown.

There are three versions of the P90X program: lean, classic and doubles. We will be following the lean program. Check back for lots of information.

Frequent Shopper Card re-introduction

As another way to thank our wonderful, loyal customers, in April 2009 we began distributing frequent shopper cards that once filled will earn the redeemer a 20% discount. Fill the card by earning a credit with every $10 spent (does not include taxes and fees). The discount can be used in conjunction with any other current promotion and our on-going referral discount for even greater savings.




Beginning this month we are re-introducing our frequent shopper cards with a new option; you can choose to have an online frequent shopper card. These cards will be still be available in hard copy format also. If you haven't gotten your card yet, feel free to send us an email.

Mary Kay Updates

Great news for Mary Kay lovers! Although our website has been down for most of the year, it will be returning January 2011. When it does there is an added bonus, all of the products will be sold at a 20% DISCOUNT!!! This is not for a limited time; this is a new E-Class Ventures pricing policy for all Mary Kay products so spread the word.

For anyone who loves Mary Kay so much that they want an even bigger discount, contact us about becoming a representative. A recruiting promotion was run last month where new representatives could get their starter kit (filled with over $400 of retail products) for only $75. Well more great news came from the company yesterday; the promotion has been extended until December 15!

Please contact Ms. Marie personally if you have even the slightest amount of interest as I am also looking for a Mary Kay business partner.
