Day 82 - P90X - Last Workouts of Week 12

"Two-a-Day" Day!!!

Back on the pond tomorrow!!

Cardio X

This is one great workout!  It gives a lot of the best of the following: Yoga - Kenpo - Plyos - Core

Wacky Jacks = "footprints in the snow" = fast twitch muscles = first-step speed = see this [link]



Back and Bi's

I think I might agree...this routine is boring (maybe it's all that "Inna Gada Davida" type music in the background.  They should have something like this (it would make me think I was back in the High School weight room at East Grand Forks Senior High!):





However, I did "Bring It" with the pull ups.  I kept thinking about Lorraine.  No....not that way (although the German accent is kind of cute).  I knew I had to match her efforts when doing pull ups!

{In my best Tony Horton voice}: "If that ain't P90X, I don't know what is!"

Day 43 - P90X - How I Now Love Ab Ripper X

Back and Bis

I like this one. Good old fashioned muscle pumping workout (and it's a nice alternative to doing a total "flop sweat") even though I use a resistance band.

Those bands rock!

* I also love the "Inna Godda Davida" type music on the Strip Set Curls...:)

Ab Ripper X

I was going to report this last week, but my daughter getting her hand chewed up by the treadmill distracted me from doing so...

"I AM DOING AB RIPPER 189 AND LOVING IT!"

Yep, I gave up trying to do Ab Ripper 339...and I am thankful I did.

Here's what I do now:

I perform 15 reps on each exercise, focusing on quality reps, and rest for the remaining time. No guilt, no worries. I used just try and whip through the 25 reps, be all sloppy, and basically curse the world and everything in it...Yuck.

My advice: Do 10 reps on each...Do 8 reps on each...Do 15 reps on each...Do the number where you can focus on quality reps, and then reward yourself with some extra rest!

Day 31 - P90X

Back and Biceps
Ab Ripper X

I am loving the exercise bands. No need for spendy equipment. No need for gym memberships (that everyone tells me they get reimbursed by Blue Cross/Blue Shield...except...they don't go enough!).

I have never been so happy about a workout routine as I am now in my life.

p.s. I hate Fifer Scissors (I am going to have to really, really do something great in the next 59 days to master those!).
