P90X - Days 11 & 12

No, I didn't skip a work out, was just too busy to blog it last night!

Day 11 - Yoga: This is the second time doing Yoga and it is always interesting. Yoga is a lot tougher than you think. It's an hour and a half of intense poses, positions, and stretches. It's pretty amazing how much of your body it works. One thing I know I have to do is get my back straighter. It needs to be straighter in all of the exercises, but working at getting it straight in Yoga will help too. Yoga is just as tough as the rest of the program, that's for sure!

Day 12 - Legs & Back; Ab Ripper X: Legs and back isn't too bad as far as the workouts go. I think my legs are in ok shape. They definitely could be better, however, I'm able to do a lot of the exercises, calf raises, etc. Pull-ups is how the back is worked. I'm still trying to make it work with bands, although, I may have to start using the pull-up bar. Not sure if I'm getting anything by using the bands due to the door not being high enough. Still trying to figure out what is best with that.

Ab Ripper X, I'm still slowly getting better and doing more and more. When I first started this, I could barely do anything. I've slowly progressed to doing more and more each time. Another week or 2, I might be able to do almost the whole thing.

Tomorrow is Kenpo X, which is self defense exercises. It's intense, and there are a lot of moves. The first time I did this last week, I was all of the place and not in sync with the movements. Tomorrow I'm going to try and get the movements down before I do it too fast. Slow and right, is better than fast and wrong. Saturday is a rest/stretching day. So one more day of intensity and then a "rest" day.

My order of the recovery drink, P90X bars, and another supplement came in today. I'm going to try everything to see if I can lose some of this weight and get ripped!

I think next week, starting on Sunday, I'm going to try and do the workouts in the AM. I was contemplating doing it this week, but it was hard to switch during the middle of the week with the schedule I had. I'm hoping it will give me more energy throughout the day. I can already tell that I'm getting more flexible and my energy level is slowly moving up. I'm hoping with doing the workouts first thing, that will help a lot. Plus, I won't have to worry about missing a workout. Getting up early though, is not my favorite thing. I just have to be more disciplined. I will try my best!
