P90X - Days 25-30

It's been awhile since I updated, so here it is...

Day 25: X Stretch - It was just a stretching day, and it was much needed. It felt really good to stretch and work on some more flexibility.

Day 26: Core Synergystics - The disc worked this time and this was pretty tough to do. I had to do it in a hotel room in Tawas and barely had enough room. The rolls are really difficult for me because I can't balance on my stomach for too long. I've always had that problem. I'm not sure exactly why, but I've also had a hard time doing sit-ups too. Other than that, Core Syn works everything and isn't bad at all.

Day 27: Yoga X - I did GREAT with Yoga. I'm becoming more flexible and was able to do a lot more of the moves. I hope that added flexibility will help me do the rest of the workout.

Day 28: This was a day of rest. I did have softball practice in the morning and threw a lot. Shoulder felt great throughout. I've had a right shoulder problem for years, but I think the exercises have helped strengthen it a bit. We will see how sore it gets in the days to come.

Day 29: Chest, Shoulders, Triceps & Ab Ripper X - This was the beginning of Week 5 and this was really difficult. I worked really hard and my left shoulder was burning. I think it was because those muscles do not get worked a whole lot, seeing that I am right handed. I had to stop doing some of the moves because my left shoulder hurt so bad I didn't want to risk major injury. This was definitely hardcore weight training and was different. As far as the Ab Ripper goes, I did ok, but some of the sit-ups really bother my stomach. It's going to be really had to strengthen and firm it up. Not sure how to deal with this, but I still push myself as much as I can.

Day 30: Plyometrics - Back to doing Plyo. I really think that rest week set me back with this. Plyo is so intense with the jump training that it can be difficult to get your energy and rhythm back. I did the best I could, but I feel like I took a step back with this routine. Hopefully next week I can do more. I think another problem was not eating well today. I was very low on energy and it showed. I need to eat better or find more supplements that will nourish me and give me energy. Something I will have to look into.

Tomorrow it's Back & Biceps plus Ab Ripper X. Should be another tough workout and I hope I can Bring It!
