Day 22 and 23...

So, this is my 4th week into my P90X workouts!! Crazy!! It's gone really fast so far and I am starting to see awesome results!! Yesterday (day 22) I decided to do the leg and back workout and fit in ab ripper x as well. I know, I'm not following exactly what my schedule says, but I didn't get it in last week and really wanted to do it! It felt so much easier doing it than the first time I did it! The calf raises and wall squats suck big time, but my legs are getting stronger! I can feel it!! Today, I am going to do Cardio X. Didn't do that last week as well, so want to fit it in today! This is supposed to be more of a recovery week, but what the heck!! I just want to keep going!! I'll most likely do yoga and the stretch this week, so that counts as recovery right? Oh ya, and 25 days till the tough mudder!! Can't wait :)

Day 21...

REST DAY!!!!!

Day 20... Kenpo X

Today in my schedule, I am supposed to do the back and leg workout, but because on Thursday I worked my legs so much, I decided to do Kenpo x instead. I love that workout! It gets you so so sweaty!! Bad thing was I while doing one of the kicking parts, I kicked Trinity in the face!! She was walking behind me and I got her real good!! My eceles tendon hurt so bad. I had to take a few minutes before I could get back into the workout! I feel bad though! It's hard to do the p90x when I have my kids and dog in the way! Luckily I haven't hurt my kids yet!! Anyways, I feel good overall finishing up my 3rd week! I can tell my waist is getting smaller and that I am feeling so much more stronger!!!

Day 18 and 19...

Ok, I have to admit, yesterday I didn't do any of the P90X, but I went to the gym wanting to do a TRX class, but unfortunately it was full, so I decided to do another yoga class and then the cycling class. Those together were definitely good enough for me do not do any more workouts for the day. The yoga class was less intense as Wednesdays, but it was really good to stretch! Now, let me get to the cycling. It was WAY INENSE!! Holy Cow!!!! She had us do 1 minute each of 6 different moves on the bike, repeat for 45 seconds, repeat 30 seconds, 15 seconds, and then repeat everything all over again!! I was literally soaking wet after, like I had just gotten out of a pool!! It was awesome!!!

Today, I decided to do the core synergistics workout. My arms were much weaker today than normal, but I managed to get through it! I thought I'd have the energy to put another workout in, but I am beat!! Gonna call it a day :)

Day 17... Yoga and Ab Ripper X

Today  I went to yoga at the gym. My arms were totally feeling it!! Then another fabulous ab ripper workout! I'm feeling stronger each day and love it!!

Day 14, 15, 16...

Sunday of course was my rest day. Yesterday, I decided to switch it up a little bit and did plyometrics. It isn't in the lean training schedule, but I love it so much that I thought I'd throw it in!! It's been a while since I did it last and I could definitely feel it!! My butt and legs were killing me and I was soaking wet!! Such a good workout though! Today, I decided to do the arms and shoulders. Since I've worked my legs and butt a lot I wanted to focus elsewhere today. I love that workout too. My arms are getting strong and tone! I love it :)

Catch Up...

I'm a little behind. Not with p90x, but with blogging :) Wednesday was my yoga day. I went to the class at the gym again. I really like the instructor!! Her class is a little different than what I am used to, but I enjoy it! She has us do a lot of more challenging moves. It's relaxing, but intense at the same time! Thursday, I did the arms and shoulders and Ab ripper x. It's only been a week, but I am really seeing more definition in my arms and I feel stronger too! Friday, unfortunately I got sick :( I had a lot of the flu like symptoms where my body was all achy everywhere, and I had no energy. I wasn't nasious or anything so I wonder if my body was just tired, not sure. I ended up taking a break since I couldn't do much. Today though, I feel so much better! I did the the back and legs workout, which I wasn't looking forward in doing, but after doing it, I felt that it was so much easier this time around! I mean, it still sucked, but in a good way! After I did Ab ripper x. That is also getting easier as well which I love!! I went and got a massage after which was fabulous!! My shoulders were way tense, so it was nice to loosen them up a bit. My knees are kind of achy now, but overall, I feel great!! More confident for this next week!!!

Day 9... Cardio X

Today I went to cycling, which was way intense! My legs were burning like crazy!!! Wasn't too thrilled to do cardio x after, but couldn't back down!! It went pretty good. The yoga was really good for me to stretch! I really needed that!! So happy to be doing yoga tomorrow :)

Day 7, Rest... Day 8, Core Synergistics...

Yesterday was my rest day, thank goodness!! Today, I was still sore from Saturday's lovely workout so I thought I would swim to try and stretch my legs out, which it helped somewhat. I ended up swimming about a 1400 swim, not as intense as normal, but still really good! Then I did Core Synergistics again. This time, I could definitely tell the difference of struggling more from doing all of the workouts last week, but I got through it and actually don't feel as sore as before. Wish me luck with week 2!!

Day 6- Legs and Back and Ab Ripper

OH MY HECK!!!! This was the first time I did the back and leg workout for p90x and it was KILLER!!! My calves and quads were burning the whole time!! Don't get me wrong, this workout is going to be awesome for me, but I just hate it right now!! You can ask Douglas! I was grunting the whole time! Then besides doing that, I had to do Ab ripper right after! Not fun whatsoever, but I just have to think, in 2-3 weeks time, it'll be a breeze for me(hopefully)!! Just glad to have a break today. Wish me luck this week! I will be repeating what I did last week. Should be lots of fun!!!!

Day 4 and 5...

So, I kind of goofed in the order of my workout schedule! On day 3, I was supposed to do arms and shoulders and 4, yoga, but got them switched, which really works out better for me since the yoga class is on Wednesdays. As long as I do it all right?? So day 4, I did the arms and shoulders workout and then did the ab ripper x. They were both really good for me, but man, after doing them, I was really feeling the soreness!! My shoulders are killing me and my mid section hurts, but it's such a great feeling that I don't mind it one bit! Yesterday, day 5, again I had to flip days 5 and 6 because of the switch earlier to alternate, so I ended up doing Kenpo X. Like I've said before, I love this workout!! It is so good for your arms and a good all around cardio workout! I could tell I was a little more pooped by the end since I did the arm workout the day before, but I pushed through it and finished all sweaty!! Today, I will be doing the leg and back workout and the lovely ab ripper x again! That thing is a killer!!!!! At least tomorrow is my rest day :)

Day 3...

Today for my p90x schedule, I did Yoga. I'm not very fond of their yoga they have, so I went to an hour yoga class at the gym. I had never taken a yoga class there till today and really enjoyed what the instructor had us do. I think every yoga class is so different, so you never know what you are going to get! She had us focus a lot on balance and had us try some really cool moves, which surprisingly I did pretty well!! I've only been to about 10 yoga classes total, but my body does quite well with it and it's actually something I will try and do more often. If you haven't ever tried yoga, you should!! It isn't as intense as some other cardio classes, but man, it totally works your body!! I was all shaky after!! It's such a different workout, but in such a good way!! I think it helps with flexibility as well as making you stronger! Can't wait for next week to do it again :)

Day 2...

Today for my workout, I did Cardio X. I love this workout because it has a mix of yoga, kenpo x, plyo, and core. I woke up today with a way sore booty and my arms were a little sore as well, but it was nice to have a little bit of the yoga in the workout to stretch my muscles some. All the other ones in the workout really kicked my butt!! I was soaking wet by the time I was finished!! It's gross to be all sweaty, but I love the feeling of knowing I really pushed myself! So far, so good! I know it's only day 2, but I feel great and am ready for more :)

P90X Day 1... For real this time :)

Today was my first day committing to p90x. I have decided to do a lean workout schedule that will keep me more lean and toned. Today, I went to the gym and swam 1 mile, then did the core synergistics workout. Douglas did it with me, which I am shocked he wanted to! Usually he isn't into doing workout videos, but hopefully he'll change his opinion about that!! I want us to kick butt for the tough mudder :)
