Day 23

I regret to say that I had an emergency today and was not able to workout, also I am not feeling so good, I think I may be coming down with something. I am pleased to say that I have not had flue or the cold for about 3 years so that’s pretty cool.

Tomorrow instead of doing the Cardio Recovery I will skip that and do what was suppose to be today Cardio Power & Resistance and then Thursday I will continue with what I had for Thursday.

Hopefully sweating what I got would be a good thing.

Thank you for your time:

Day 20 - 22

Day 20

Saturday I wanted to workout but there were people sleeping in the house so I just went out.

Day 21 – Yoga

I did Yoga X, it was pretty awesome, it’s the best thing to do in the morning and then your day is just plain awesome!

Day 22 – Craziness! I mean Insanity!!

Alright so this week is suppose to be my a recovery week, I will do recover from lifting weights, however I had about 3 days off last week, I’d say that is pretty much a recovery right there LOL. So this week I am going Insane and I will do Insanity for 5 days and since I am doing this for 5 days I am just skipping the test DVD and going right in to the meat and potatoes of the workout and starting with Plyometric Cadrio Circuit.

I had done this week of insanity right after I had finished my first round of P90X and it was a killer, the cardio is insane, and I can tell you that I thought I was going to be able to follow them very easily this time, but oh no. I started out very strong and I was digging deeper but by the time I had 10min left, I had to at least stop 5 to 8 sec before the next exercise to take a breather since I really worked myself hard to begin with.

I will also say that the warm up was insane, and because I had just started I was working my self way to hard and man I was sweating like if I was in a sauna, I had forgotten how awesome it had felt.

I am sore right now and tomorrow I have to reconnect a bunch of computers, that means I will be doing a lot of lifting and when I am done, guess what? I will be going to the next Insanity DVD, as long as my back does not hurt.

Thank you for your time:

Days 17–19

Sorry for the delay on updating, but time has been tight.

Day 17 – Shoulders & Arms + ARX:

I tried to take myself to the limits here, since I took myself to the limits the day before during Plyo. I will say that I was pretty sore on my thighs and it felt good. So I increased the weights to 32lbs on anything that had to do with biceps and used a machine with 120lbs for triceps. I will say that because there is a pulley system 120lbs is not really that, however it was pretty heavy. I felt my muscles pump up pretty good. My shoulders were no exception, I used 27lb dumbbells and my shoulders felt pumped as well.

For Ab Ripper X: I did the same thing, except that I made sure to do a lot more crunches with the 25lb plate behind my head, this really pumped my abs and I then finished them up with the double ab crunch machine with 130lbs.

Needless to say I went home feeling awesome

Day 18 and 19:

As mentioned before I had training for 2 days and I had to travel, also had many things to do when I got back, plus had to go get blood taken today as well, I thought I would workout at least today but after drawing blood, it is not a good thing to workout right after or I could get an internal bruise with the pressure, which is why they say not to lift anything heavy for at least 3hrs.

I will try to workout tomorrow and of course Yoga on Sunday.

Thank you for your time:

Day 16–Plyometrics

Today’s workout was pretty intense, all I can say is Holy Cow!

My plyo workout buddy was able to come today, and I will say it is such a huge difference working out with someone else, you feel like you need to push yourself harder, like a competition and so I did. I managed to keep up with Dominique and in some occasions surpassing him, I never done that before. Oh boy did I feel it though, my heart was way over my zone and I just pushed myself to the limits. The room was cold and yet I managed to sweat like if it was really hot in the room and all I could think of was DAMN! This is the best workout ever!

My buddy was also able to manage to last the entire workout this time, he had to take a couple of extra breaks in between but that’s the way to do it, don’t quit completely at the first sight that you had enough, take a short break, catch your breath and head back in to it and do your best.

I am glad I had one wicked workout today, because I am not sure about Thursday and Friday, however tomorrow I have Shoulders and Arms + Ab Ripper X.

Thank you for your time:
