P90X: Week 8
This is a recovery week and I must say that I am not very fond of sitting around and not doing much. I was supposed to do yoga yesterday, but instead I went for a 4 mile run. I was surprised of how far I could run last night without resting. Usually I run out of gas after about 2 miles and I have to “will myself” to finish 3 miles. I can truly say that the P90X has helped me get leaner and helped my cardio go through the roof.
Last week I noticed that I wasn’t losing as much weight as before and I wasn’t quite sure why. Well, come to find out all I needed to do was to clean up my diet. I have begun to slowly lose weight again. 170 may still be within my reach by October.
9/1
I just finished up core synergistics. Next to yoga, this must be my least favorite dvd. I am still getting a great workout, but some of the movements seem to made up and awkward. For example the “Dreya-Roll”. This has to be the dumbest movement yet. On a positive note, Tony does introduce us to the sphynx pushup. This is a pretty cool push up that really works the core muscles. Tomorrow is one of my more favorite cardio workouts, Kempo X!
9/2
I made a mistake working out today. I waited until 8pm to start Kempo.Upon beginning, I immediately noticed a difference in my energy level, I had none of it. Tony sometimes mentions “bonking” during workouts and how to work through it. Well I definitely “bonked” during my workout and almost didn’t make it through it.
9/3:
I was supposed to do the X-Stretch today but I feel that it’s a worthless dvd. I decided to run a few miles instead. Sometimes I feel that its hard to do nothing once you have been doing something for 50 days. Maybe I am addicted to working out?
P90X: The 2nd Week
My second workout with plyometrics was still very challenging, but I did notice an increase in my stamina. My first time through I took extended water breaks almost every time. I only took two this time. My goal next week is to power through the entire workout without taking any extended breaks.
