Yoga X:

Today was surprisingly easier with Yoga.  The whole vinyasa/warrior pose/etc hard part really did not seem as long as usual, and I wasn’t horribly beaten when it was over.  I did very good and was relaxed and calm the whole time.  Hopefully it stays that easy and comfortable from now on…

Legs and Back, Ab Ripper X:

Same story again!  Legs and back last time I did it totally broke me and I only got halfway through.  I think it had something to do with lack of sleep and not eating enough beforehand more so than probably the workout itself, but it still felt good to get through it so easily today.  I moved back a little further away from where I usually kneel to make pulling the band harder, and I equaled or did more reps on almost every move than I have before.

Ab Ripper was also pretty easy.  I was just going to skip it because I had forgotten I had to do it until the very end of Legs and Back, but then decided ah it’s only 15 minutes, so I went ahead and did it.  It was almost fun, and I hurt a lot less than usual and moved a lot smoother than usual.  My legs are starting to get really noticeably straightener for some of the moves in these routines.  I am doing good I think

Today was not a good day for Stacey and P90X.  It was Legs and Back today, and Ab Ripper X.  I drank a bunch of water and OJ before starting so I didn’t want to do Ab Ripper right away since that would slosh my tummy around and might feel bad after just filling it o the brim.

So I decided to do Legs and Back first, and I did not finish it.  First time ever I haven’t finished one so far.  I got a little past halfway, 14th of 24 moves, and simply could not go on.  I am so shaky and unbalanced and my legs feel like Jello.  I may try to finish it again after I eat some lunch and rest or something, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to.  Maybe I need to eat more but mostly I’m sure it’s just my sleep problems as of late…I cannot get to sleep for the life of me and have only been sleeping 5-6 hours per day…and i DO NOT want to take sleeping pills at all…help!

Needless to say I haven’t done Ab Ripper yet either.

Today was Legs and Back and Ab Ripper X. I know in my last Ab Ripper post I said it was easier to do if I did it before the big routine for the day, but I didn’t do that today, I think I just forgot. Last time on Legs and Back I found the bands were a little too easy, so this time I set them up so it was a little harder to pull, and made sure I was holding them when I pulled them in – I don’t think I did that last time. I might need to just get the next color of bands up in difficulty. Around the Sieber’s Squats my right foot started to hurt…I have never been a huge exercise fan besides fun exercises like water skiing, swimming, hiking etc…so I’ll admit I made a mistake and haven’t been wearing shoes for any of this routines. Everyone is barefoot in Yoga X but not in any of the other workouts I believe, so I should probably follow suit and start wearing shoes when I do these!

Ab Ripper seemed a lot shorter to get through this time, and I am still not quite up to ability to do 25 reps each time…I get to 20 or 22 usually, taking little breaks when I need to. But at least I do it and don’t skip it totally and never skip any moves, right?

That’s all for today, nothing special expect the possible pulled muscle in my foot Took about an hour and half all told.

Friday: Legs and Back…no Ab Ripper

Weekend: Rest, missed Kenpo X!

Monday: Did Kenpo X, missed Core

Tuesday: Did Core and Cardio, no longer behind!

Yeah, that’s right, I didn’t do this weekend Kenpo and it got me all behind. I also forgot to blog on Friday for some reason…

Friday I was probably just too busy to blog, with homework and work, but at least I got the routine in.  Over the weekend, went on a little unplanned road trip so that messed up my schedule and I didn’t do Kenpo.  I did hike though, if that makes up for it at all

Kind of sad I missed Kenpo because I was excited to blog about it!  It is definitely my favorite workout of all of them.  It’s so fun and you don’t think it would be hard enough to make you sweat but you do, and it feels great.  It’s funny the resident Kenpo “expert” on the videos is Vanessa, I wonder if it is just a girl thing to love this workout?

Today I did Core first, and then Cardio.  I just skipped the cooldown for Core and the warmup for Cardio so that I could combine them in less time.  It didn’t take as long as I thought it would.  I did a lot more of the moves than I did last week, and definitely “brought it” a lot better to Core.

No specifics today, as there’s too many routines to break them all down.  Happy I am caught up, lookin forward to weights tomorrow ~
