Day 22: Yoga X
I figured since Yoga X was shaping up to be one of the workouts I’d be using most during the next 68 days and also the one I had the lest experience with, I needed to do some research one some of the poses and get a history of hatha yoga just so I could [...]

I feel good this week. I feel in control. My brain has quieted down and I feel focused. I have a goal. I’m pretty confident that I’ll get there.
This Thursday at a meeting at work a co-worker mentioned that my arms looked muscular and asked me if I’d been weight lifting. [...]

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 [...]
