Back, Biceps and Ab Ripper X

WOW... Day 80! Only 10 days to go. Today was another great workout. I reviewed my workout sheets from the past 80 days and noticed some considerable gains. I can't wait to see what the next round of P90X will bring.

I did struggle a bit during ABX today. Just a little fatigued. Was able to do 20 Masson Twists with my legs in the air though. I'm happy about that. Crunchy frog is still a major struggle.

One more workout with weights, Legs and Back on Friday, and then it's all cardio type workouts and YogaX till the end. The end is in sight!

I was able to get a second workout in yesterday. About 45 minutes of inline skating. Felt great.

Till next time... Bring It!

PlyoX today. I still love this workout today as much as I did the first week of P90X. LOTS of sweat today. felt like I really BROUGHT IT!

I can finally do all of the PlyoX Jump Knee Tucks. Now I need to try and keep up with Domy.

Maybe a little inline skating after work today? Did some lawn mowing as a second workout yesterday. ;o)

Till next time... Bring It!

Legs, Back and ABX.

My IT band is still hurting a bit so I take it easy on the left leg during this workout. I did notice that I have doubled the number of reps I can do in some of the pullup exercises and added a minimum of 3 to 4 extra reps to others. Love it.

Another BIG breakthrough for me is that not only did I do a few more reps of some of the Ab Ripper X exercises but I actually did 10 reps of Masson Twist with my legs in the air!! Woo Hoo! This is big for me. When I started I go not do any with my legs in the air nor could I touch the ground with my knuckles. Now I can do 10! Last week I think I did about 5. Awesome.

Finally. I can't explain how happy I am that Spring is here! When the weather is nice I usually go outside with the kids when I'm done working at 4PM. I usually shoot some hoops just to kill time while I watch them play. Yesterday I decided to get the inline skates out and actually get some exercise. So I did 1.5 miles on the inline skates. Felt GREAT. Then I skated around for about another 1/2 hour in the driveway while working on my stopping skills. Those are VERY important ya know!

And this next piece of news I am VERY proud of. After inline skating I was playing with the kids in the yard and watching a neighborhood girl doing cartwheels. For whatever reason, I have ALWAYS wanted to do a cartwheel but never have been able. So after watching her for a minute I decided to give it a try. And after a couple attempts, I WAS DOING CARTWHEELS! How fun! Gunna be 43 and doing cartwheels in the front yard. Gotta love it. I attribute this to me new found strength and agility due to P90X.

Then it was on to headstands.

Then Bridge (or Bow).

Then Reverse Table.

We were having a BLAST. And the best part? I'm not sore today! More cartwheels! I think I'll look for some other Gymnastic type moves to try.

OK, and finally, I was so focused on my P90X workout that I didn't even feel the earthquake that rocked the Midwest this AM. My wife came down to the basement at about 5:30 and asked me if I had felt it. It woke her up. I didn't even notice. Wow, earthquakes in the Midwest. I thought that I had escaped that when I moved from San Diego.

Till next time... Bring it!
