TM do P90X

Day 17 – 26 (Jan 29)

tmcj — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 06:57:35 +0000

Ok, so I got really bad with posting. Had a delay mid-week in week 3 with work keeping me up late, and not being able to fit a workout in for a couple of days – we got back on track that weekend and doubled-up the workout to complete the week. This has been week 4 which is a transition week – core synergistics, yoga, stretch and kenpo. T was in Boston for 4 days this week and just did some running on the hotel treadmill – I stuck to the routine pretty well – did not stretch but treated those 2 days as rest. So somewhat adapted, but still on track.

Day 16 – Tues 19 Jan

Day 15 – Mon Jan 18

T’s not feeling great – sore throat and sniffy nose. We slept in a bit and instead after work, did our back/chest/abs workout. worked out fine – but does fatigue you in the evening and then it’s so close to the next morning’s workout too – so not sustainable likely in the long run. But we still got our workout done. I also tried to accelerate the workout by fitting in the abs workout inbetween pauses and breaks in the back/chest workout – this actually is a great timesaver and you work harder for a smaller overall time – so winner!

The girls were up way too early for a saturday – especailly when the body is feeling broken from the workouts this week especailly legs/back from last night! But once you do eventually heave yourself up, it’s not so bad – movement helps and things start to losen a bit. We have gymnastics and ballet classes for both girls Saturday mornings, and today was no different. We grabbed some lunch sandwiches at subway to bring home, and T was home for the morning to start framing the room he is building in the garage. So a busy morning indeed. We got our workout in tho’ around 4:30pm. Then we took the girls out for a dinner and are now back home, quite ready for bed ourselves – and its only 9am.

Day 11 – Thur Jan 14

tmcj — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 22:19:38 +0000

My darling Chloe woke up at 5:30am today! As much as my alarm was set to go off at 5:45am, the earlier 15 mins made me grumpy! But it was a yoga day and that was a hour and a half session – so being up a little earlier was no real issue after the fact. Got the yoga done – quite hectic again to realize how quickly ones strength disappears when you have not excercised specifically your arms and legs from a strength perspective – and this is what the yoga focusses on – good workout!

Glammer muscles according to Tony (the DVD guy!) T has not let it slip though – he got in a 45 min workout at the hotel gym with a run / elyiptical. Go T!

T had to head off to LA today for a few days for work – so he left for the airport as I started the day’s workout. Plyometrics – ack! This is the workout that made me feel so faint last week – so today I paced myself a bit more, and got through it ok. As much as the getting up and getting started is my biggest blocker, the completion of the workout has the most amazing feeling of satisfaction. Go gadget legs go!
