Legs and Back felt AWESOME yesterday morning. I upped my weights on some of the leg exercises, really pushed to failure with the bands, and got a great burn on the wall squats. Tony’s right, it is certainly a nice change from leg presses and squats. My knees are happy. I even [...]

I did ARX last night. This is still so hard for me, and it’s really frustrating because although I see myself getting better at the cardio and weight work - increasing reps and weights, less breaks during Plyo - I’m STILL struggling with ARX. Some of the exercises are easy for me, and [...]

Day 17: Shoulders and Arms
This one was great for me as always. I felt pretty solid with it. I thought I’d have to lower my weights because I’m still sore from Chest and Back. Which is crazy cause that was like two days ago! But I even managed to up my weights on a few exercises [...]

Did Ab Ripper X last night around 9. Once again I felt alot better and stronger doing it in the evening. I might have to suck it up and do this one at night instead of tacking it on to the end of a workout. Hell it’s only 15 minutes.
Now for Plyo.
I [...]

I got up this morning did Cathe’s IMAX 2 as my penance for the extra cookies yesterday.
I lowered the step because I wanted to WORK, but not that hard. The thing is hard enough without making it harder with a higher step. Plus, one of the last times I did IMAX 2 with the risers [...]

Day 14: X Stretch
The day didn’t start out very well. I ate my usual breakfast, one egg, egg whites, turkey bacon, a little cheddar and some frozen spinach. But my stomach had other plans and breakfast came right back up right after I had finished eating. I really have no idea why. It’s happened [...]

Day 13: Kenpo X
I woke up almost an hour late this morning (forgot to set the alarm!) but that didn’t stop me from crushing Kenpo!
I had good energy this morning, definitely better than I felt doing Kenpo last week. I will just attribute that to the extra 49 minutes of sleep I got this morning and an [...]

Day 12: Legs and Back/ARX
Still hating the bands.
But LOVING the leg portion of L&B! I really pushed myself and made the most of every rep. The only thing I had trouble with was the toe roll iso lunges because my sneakers kept slipping on the hardwood floor.
I did something a little different this time around. Most [...]

Day 11: Yoga X
Just one tip: NEVER do ARX after you’ve eaten dinner. NOT a good look. I thought I waited a sufficient time, but I did have a pretty big dinner (bigger probably than I should have eaten, looking back on it). I thought I was gonna throw up after it was all over. I did have [...]

Day 10: Shoulders and Arms
I don’t remember if I’ve ever said how much I LOVE this workout! I know there are all these controversies about working biceps and triceps because those muscles are used to assist the bigger ones like your back or chest, and should really not be worked on their own, but WHO CARES! Doing [...]
