p90x day 5
Hello!
Today I competed the legs and back workout as well as the ab ripper x. I really enjoyed this one! All I needed was my band (30lbs) hooked up to my door attachment for the back exercises, and I used a 12lb dumbbell for added resistance with the leg workouts. Simple. The back exercises were great. I love that I can actually do 15-20 with the bands instead of struggling with one chin-up. I think maybe when I get to phase 3, I might try the bar. The leg exercises were simple but effective. Some of them really left my legs BURNING! For example, the tippy toe lunges and wall sits had me whining, but I stuck with it.
Ab ripper X kicked my butt again, but there’s no skipping this workout. It’s sooo important! For me anyway because I have a gross belly. This time around I started to feel a real burn, like my muscles were actually working. Of course, I couldn’t do all of the reps, but hopefully I can in a couple more try’s at it.
I am feeling much better today, not as sore. I actually did a little extra stretching last night. I think that helped a lot. My legs were so sore and I knew the leg workout was today, so I sat down on the floor and stretched them out for about 15 minutes. I did some straddle sit stretches, butterfly’s, and splits (front and back) as far as I could go.
Diet is pretty much the same today. Keeping to the portion charts in the Nutrition Guide. I’m actually going to start having half of a recovery drink. The instructions say 12 oz of water and two scoops. That is way too much for me. I work out on a empty stomach and have the drink right after so I am hungry when I drink it, I just have a hard time finishing for some reason. It doesn’t taste bad, so I don’t know why I can’t drink it all.
One more workout for this week, then I do have a rest day on Sunday. I usually have practice on Sundays, but the gym is closed this week. So I’ll probably do the X Stretch workout.
See you all tomorrow!

p90x day 4
Hi everyone!
Today was yoga. It was a very long workout, but I got through it. What was tough for me today was the fact that I am still really sore from Plyometrics!! Trying to stay calm when your muscles are aching so bad is not easy!! I was able to do all of the exercises in the first half. The ones where you go to plank, then to downward dog, and runners pose and all that stuff. When it came to the balance posture holds, I had a hard time here. I was able to do some of the easier ones, but I couldn’t get the one where you basically balance upside down on your hands. Of course I was able to get through the stretches at the end with no problem. I think next thursday I will do better if I’m not as sore!
Still sticking to the diet plan. I had 3 egg whites with low fat cheese and plain hot tea this morning. I had a cup of tomato soup for lunch and I didn’t get around to my snacks yet, but I feeling kinda hungry so I think I will have some cottage cheese and fruit when I am done with this post. For dinner, I am planing on having grilled chicken with some veggies and one cup of brown rice. I’ll also get in a protein bar in sometime later.
I took the day off of work today because my fiance had an appointment, so besides running after my son and picking my daughter up from school, I got some cleaning in to prevent myself from being a couch potato! We all know what that leads to…….junk food! Can’t have any of that!
Be back tomorrow!
