I could tell in the first 20 minutes that this wasn’t gonna go well. Last week was great, but this week for Plyo my energy level just wasn’t there. Last week though I ate breakfast first, and I waited probably an hour, hour and a half, so I’m sure that made the difference [...]

Day 8: Chest and Back/ARX
I’m stronger! Hee!!! I love it!
This was my second time doing C&B and saw strength gains! I did more push ups this time around than last time and that makes me happy! I’m still struggling with those damn decline push ups - those are the hardest for me - and of [...]

So I ended my week with absolutely NO energy. By Friday night I was DONE. Still had hurting legs from L&B and Kenpo and could barely get out of bed this morning I was so tired. I was also having some issues with my knee, it was really sore all day yesterday. Today it [...]

Day 6: Kenpo X
My legs were still sore from Legs and Back so I could barely get through this one. The last 15 minutes I kinda petered out and just went though the motions. Which kinda sucks cause I really liked it, I just couldn’t muster up the energy. I’m sure it was a combination of just [...]

Day 5: Legs and Back/ARX
Legs and Back kinda rocked. I really think there should have been a separate DVD JUST for legs. Although this one is in every week that’s not a recovery week, so at least I’ll be working legs once a week. I’ve thought about doing a sepatate leg workout with just the [...]

I ended up doing Shoulders and Arms last night instead of yesterday morning because I went to sleep late the night before. I previewed the workout and each exercise the day before and mentally chose the weights that I thought I’d be able to use for each one in order to “feel the burn”. [...]

Day 2: Plyo X
I thought I was used to high intensity cardio. I’ve been a Cathe step whore for months. But this was a whole new level. Fun fun fun! I think during this whole 90 days I’ll probably be much better at the cardio than I will be at the weight work.
For a [...]

I passed. Barely, but I passed. Of course the push ups gave me trouble, not really because of my shoulder, but just because I’ve always sucked at push ups. But this is why I wanna do this program, so I can get better. Everything else I did well in, average or [...]

Spring cleaning…
Decided to forgo Cathe or Sean or whomever this morning because I woke up and just on a whim decided to clean my windows. All 4 of them. Which is work, lemme tell you. Although I didn’t count it, I still considered it a workout cause damn it I was working. [...]
