P90X Day 30

Day 30:  Plyometrics

Well, today I opted for the Cardio X option they give instead of plyo, because I'm just not there yet. Even Cardio X, which is their "easy" alternative, exhausts me. Oh well. I'm sure this will improve with time, too.

Thanks! :]

P90X Day 29

Day 29:  Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps, Ab Ripper X

I thought the combination of working out chest, shoulders, and triceps was a little strange at first, but now I like it. Each one gives the other muscle a little time to rest. I worked so hard I was shaking for about a half hour afterwards whenever I tried to pick something up or text. But I REALLY want results! ha. I also found out that I need to up my intake of carbs, and maybe move on to the next phase of the nutrition plan as well, because I was truly exhausted during this workout, which hasn't happened for a while.

Ab Ripper X is still killing me, ha. But I love it. I can do more and more each and every time. And since we do this three times a week instead of just once, I keep getting reminded of my progress. :D

Thanks for reading!

P90X Day 28

Day 28:  X Stretch or Rest

I rested! Although I forgot to say that when I walked on Day 26, I also did the first twenty or so minutes of X Stretch. I can definitely see how it would obviously be beneficial, so I am going to *try* to start doing this instead of resting.

Thanks for reading. :D

P90X Day 27

Day 27:  Yoga X

So, since I hate this routine, and I thought yesterday was Cardio X but walked instead, I moved Cardio X to today. I like this and I'm definitely going to replace Plyometrics with this, which they give you the option to do. Cardio X starts out with some yoga, then you do some punching and kicking from their Kenpo workout, then a little bit of Plyo, and finally some core. It's a little bit of everything, but it's all cardio. Even the little bit of Plyo they had in it kicked my butt. Even so, I really like this workout.

P90X Day 26

Day 26:  Core Synergistics

Yeah, for some reason I thought today was "Cardio X." :( I don't know what I was looking at that I saw that. Oh well. I walked 1.8 miles instead, anyway, to get ready for walking 5k for Suicide Awareness on April 28.

P90X Day 25

Day 25:  X Stretch

Took a rest day. I know. I'm terrible.

P90X Day 24

Day 24:  Kenpo X

Love it. Love it. Love it. It lets out all my pent-up anger, and it's fun, AND I'm working out all at the same time. I also feel like if I were in a fight or had to defend myself in some way, I would be a little more prepared than before.
