Day 9; Interval X and ABS/Core Plus

Just to keep with my word. Last night I did a some of Insanity's Fit Test with the Fiance. We recorded what we did and hopefully can improve in a month or so! Fiance's knees are starting to hurt with this high impact training... so we are going to pick her up some knee braces for her... yay years of being a catcher for softball!

Today I did Interval X and ABS/Core Plus. I managed to get through Interval X while still standing and without getting sick! Go me. Such a great burn and sweat is built up with that work out. So much variation.

ABS/Core Plus is another story... already being exhausted and chewing up the core with some hard ass moves really taxes a guy.

Oh well, tomorrow is Arms and Back... I love that work out!!!!!

Wow, catch up post! Day 5, 6, 7, AND 8!!!

So day 5 was Upper Body Plus. I don't know what it is about P90X+, but I only like ABS/Core Plus and Full Body Plus. The rest just don't seem to build up a sweat to me or make my muscle sore... bummer.

Day 6 was a mash-up of Kenpo Cardio in the AM by myself. I did all 40 minutes of it and was bored, VERY bored. So in the PM I tried it out with my Fiance to see what she thought and we went about 15 minutes and just look at me with that: "Really Chris, this is boring." look. So we popped in Insanity's Fit Test... wow... that killed. Loved it!

Day 7 was another REST DAY! Didn't really need it, but I believe that you shouldn't workout every single day. Your body needs a chance to repair itself. So that was today.

Day 8! Back to P90X! I did good old Chest and Back this morning. I love it. My back and chest always feel nice and full after this workout. This was a AM work out and I felt great before, during, and after. Tonight I plan on working out with the fiance and doing ABS/Core Plus with her or by myself after our Cardio. I don't plan on doing the full Cardio work out tonight because of my AM work out. I'll post up what I did cardio wise tomorrow and my thoughts on how I felt during and after whatever she makes me do.

Day 4; Rest Day!

I moved my normal Sunday rest day to today... the reason for this is a busy weekend. Fiance wants to take me out Saturday, I have a feeling good food will be involved. Sunday is lunch with the family and that's good food too. So I moved Thursday's workout to Sunday to help burn some cals! Simple enough.
