Day 52 supposedly, and I spent 4 days in beloved Canada at Whistler feeling unbelievable burns in my thighs and calves from snowboarding/skiing. It's been hard for me to get back in the groove of working out again because I had to

1. Recover from "vacation"
2. Re-learn how to wake up ass early for events
3. Find a new room to work out since the condo has become more musical

Good thing this is recovery week, Week 8. I need to go for a run, but not when its gusting 30 mph winds.

Day 43

In reality, it's supposed to be day 50, but I had to repeat a week. This week has also been a little sloppy, the exercises were done modified and one day late. However, I woke up and did some Kenpo that made me happy, and I'm willing to do two workouts tomorrow (Chest/Shoulders/Tri and Legs/Back).... hopefully I'm not too worn out!

For yoga last week, I got so angry at my joints for being crappy that I changed the yoga section (after doing two astanga salutations) to the 10 minute trainer version called Yoga Flex. It was a fast pace on P90X style yoga, but I'm' sure if I did it twice, it would make up for most from the program.

My pull up bar is out of commission for the time being, so I'm doing sitting rows with a band for the pull up exercises.

Week 6 is being repeated...

Due to a visit from a best sibling, my week has been cancelled and will be repeated. I have managed to hike, kayak, and snowboard during the week, but not follow any P90x workouts.

Reach ya back on Monday when I start up again!

Day 31

Back and Biceps!!!!

According to the forums on Beachbody.com, most people tend to drop off at the 30 day mark (week four). I think it's just because they enjoy the week long of rest and recovery that they do not look forward to working hard again. But I love the feeling after an hour (only an hour!) worth of sweat. Today was no exception.

My biceps were burning almost the entire time! I did the band workout with all the curling action and was almost afraid that my triceps were not going to be able to compete! The back was needing a little bit more love, as I've been doing the bar with the help of the chair. Don't know how much love that is, I'd rather be doing bands for pull ups, I've just got to up the resistance... don't know how though! What do I do about that? Any ideas??

Crap. Yoga tomorrow.

Day 30!

Week fiver! Doing plyometrics and the arm arm/chest workout yesterday was like starting over again! After a recovery week (of which I only managed to skip two workouts), I ate a little more like a pig so I am not going to get my Day 30 results/picture until the end of the week on Rest day. (which is also the day my sister arrives!)

Plyo was just how I left it. I sweat a lot, but I was able to do more of the jump squatting UNMODIFIED. That's a big boost. Plus, I got a second wind in there somewhere, shortly after I thought about stopping the tape early (if you have done the Rock Star Hops, then you probably understand) but again... all a mental thing. I stuck with it, and finished the show.
