What a great week! I have been able to fit in double workouts just about everyday this week. On P90X Day 74 I did YogaX at my usual 5 AM time and then did a 35 minute run while waiting for my daughter to finish evening softball practice. YogaX went really well, I felt strong.

Yesterday (P90X Day 75) I did Legs and Back and Ab Ripper X (ABX) in the AM as scheduled. Yes, I’m back to doing ABX again. My lower back is feeling better, not 100%, but close, so I decided to give ABX a try again. I kinda 1/2 assed it but it felt good getting back to it. After work I did CardioX as my second workout of the day.

I’m feeling great and starting to loose some of that extra body fat. But… I will be traveling a lot soon and know that my workouts and eating will suffer. I’ll just have to get back to it as soon as this travel is over.

Till next time… Bring It!

Yesterdays (Day 72) P90X PlyoX workout was great! Still a killer! Then I snuck in a second workout of the day while waiting for my daughter to finish softball practice. I mapped out a 1 mile loop around the outdoor softball complex. It was a nice loop. Hills, dirt, grass, a little bit of everything. And every 1/2 mile or so I stopped and did either pull-ups at the playground or push-ups on a patch of concrete. It was a GREAT second workout of the day and I was whooped and soaking wet by the time I was done.

Day 73 – I am VERY sore today. I guess it’s from yesterdays second workout. I really pushed it hard. But, I still had a great Shoulders and Arms P90X workout this morning. I skipped Ab ripper X for the last two workouts. I’m trying to give my back a rest. I’ll probably be ready for it again on Friday.

I’m thinking that I’ll squeeze in another workout this afternoon, but I am going to go a bit easier than yesterday.

Till next time… Bring It!

Well, I wish that I could say that I finished up my repeat week strong but I can’t. I did great all week and then when it came to day 69 I slacked off and missed my P90X KenpoX workout for Day 69. I had good reason though. My lower back was feeling a bit tweaked ever since I tried moving from the Ab RipperX wide legged sit-ups to cross legged sit ups on Friday. I don’t think that my lower back was ready for that.

So Saturday (Day 69) I decided to give the back a rest and not do KenpoX, I planned on doing it Sunday (Day 70). On Sunday my back felt a bit better but I never did get around to doing KenpoX, we went boating instead. And I went tubing, which is quite a workout in itself. And surprisingly it did not make my back any worse.

So today (Day 71) I overslept AGAIN (weekends are ruining me lately) but after work I did do the Chest and Back workout scheduled for today. I decided to skip the ABX workout today because my back is close to 100% but not there yet and I wanted to give it a couple more days to recover.

So there ya have it. And tomorrow is PlyoX (and maybe an extra/second workout of the day if things go as planned tomorrow afternoon).

Till next time… Bring It!

P90X update:

Day 66 – Back, Bi, ABX – Love, love, love this workout. Got up early and got it out of the way. felt great.

Day 67 – YogaX – Almost didn’t get up, but did. I have to admit, YogaX is now officially my least favorite P90X workout. Why? Dunno for sure, let’s see. Maybe because it’s the longest workout (about and hour and 1/2). I’m usually in uncomfortable pain throughout the workout. I don’t sweat as much or get a pump from it like I do from other workouts.

I know it’s important to be flexible and obtain Yoga strength but it sure is a pain in the ass!

Day 68 – Legs, Back, Abx – Got up early and got it out of the way. It’s amazing how good I feel during the rest of the day when I get my workouts out of the way early.

Well, that about catches the blog up. I feel like I’m back on track again. But, I have some travel ahead of me so we’ll see what happens then.

Till next time… Bring It!

Over slept AGAIN but got my P90X PlyoX workout in after work. Man, I can’t believe that I have been doing this workout once a week for close to 6 months and it still kicks my butt. What a killer.

Goal – Get up at 5 AM tomorrow and workout then.

Till next time… Bring it!

I’m repeating P90X Round 2, Phase 3, week 2 because I really slacked off last week. There was a lot going on and I found it hard to get to bed early and then wake up early enough for my workouts. So last week was not so great, I only did the Chest, Shoulders and Tris and ABX workouts last week.

So this week I am repeating and I overslept this morning AGAIN but still did my Chest, Shoulders, Tris and ABX workout after work. Felt great. Great workout, loved it.

So till tomorrow (promise!)… Bring It!
