P90x: Abs

Well, I did get around to doing the ab workout this evening after class! Just as with the shoulders and arms exercise, I am noticing that I can hang in for more reps than before. And I've only been doing this for a week and a half!

P90x: Shoulders, Arms

Well, I woke up this morning at 6:00am, as planned, to do my P90X routine. But I felt really sick for some strange reason, and my back was bothering me. So, I decided it would be best if I rested and see how I felt for a lunch time exercise routine.

I felt much better by the time I started work at 8:00am, and I was ready to try the Shoulder and Arms routine. It went well. And I was able to do way more reps this time than I did last week! Exciting progress already with P90X. Unfortunately, I didn't have time for the 15 minute Ab routine, so I plan to do that this evening after I get back from class.

P90x: Plyometrics

So, after Kenpo, I think Plyometrics is my second favorite exercise routine thus far.

I think it was due to yesterday's exercise (not today's) that my lower back started hurting. There was just so must jumping and jostling today, that it helped point out some sore joints. I should probably visit my chiropractor this week to be realigned and prevent any serious injury from exercise.

Also, Luke is gone on business this week, so we each are having to exercise individually, which is always more difficult. I'm not so worried about the cardio and stretching routines, but it helps me to have a little competition in the room for the weight lifting routines. We'll see how it goes!

P90x: Chest, Back, and Abs

Wow, I have definitely learned which exercises I hate. Military push ups and triangle push ups are the bane of my existence. And it's really impossible to modify these types of push ups by going to my knees rather than feet. It just can't be done. So, I guess I need to increase the number of push ups I can do for the more standard positions before I can expect to do better with the military and triangle push ups.

My favorite types of push ups, on the other hand, are the dive bomber push ups. After doing so many standar push ups, it helps change things up a bit.
