Day 22 - Core Synergistics

Tough workout. Toughest workout of the program so far. This is week four of the first month and supposed to be a "recovery week"...but when Tony introduces a new workout that I haven't done yet...you know it's going to feel like a rewind back to Day 1. Looking forward to trying this one again later in the week.

Ode to the Steam Engine invented by James Watt. This was one of the exercises I actually liked....the "Steam Engine"!

Keep pushing play. Bring it.

Day 21 - Power Yoga

Can you say "moving asanas"? Maybe. But can you Bring It? I did. Best yoga sesh since I started. Upward Dog was powerful and my knees were off the mat. Did all the warrior poses strong and balance poses held their own as well. It is true...as you go through this program, you do get stronger and the exercises become more enjoyable...because you can do them!

Tomorrow is Day 22...no big deal! Let's Roll!

Day Two-Zero!

Kickin' strong at Day 20 people! Tonight was Kenpo X and I was the street fightin' man once again. Brought it the whole workout and was drenched in sweat when the fightin' was done. Fell of the food wagon at lunch. It was Go Texan day today in honor of the Rodeo that starts this weekend. So what's that mean to all you non-Texans that follow this blog? Cowboy Clothes at work and BBQ for the peeps. Authentic Burns Barbecue from Houston and it was goooood. That's my cheat for the week.

I think this next week is "Recovery" week - lots of cardio and core.

BAM!

Day 19 - Legs, Back, Abs

Day 19 and I feel like a champ. Not a chump, a champ. Worked the legs hard with Tony and the gang. Wall squats - gotta love em - don't loathe em! This workout is more about the legs because the only back exercises you do are the pullups. Getting stronger in that department. Still using the blue ball. Dinner was chicken and asparagus. Ate great today and am on track to make this a hardcore diet week like I said I would do on Sunday. I think the worst food I had this week was a few pieces of peanut brittle - not gonna kill ya!

Tomorrow is Kenpo X. Looking forward to the sweat. Bring it on!

Day 18 - Yoga X and a Haircut

Not sure what I was thinking, but it had been about 7 or 8 weeks since my last haircut. Got that squared away and ready to look normal again.

On to Yoga X - Day 18 - and I brought it. Felt so much stronger than last week. The moving asanas were great and I stayed right with the program. The balance poses felt great too. Today's session really gets me excited for next week when I'll be in recovery week and will do Yoga twice.

No pic on today's post. Gotta keep it simple once in awhile.

See you tomorrow. Legs, Back, Abs, Bring It.

Day 17 - Shoulders / Arms / Ab

OK, yesterday was the first day I did not push play. Instead, Kathy and I went out to a tight hip hop show performed by Jay Z. He is the shot caller of em all. Figured that Jay Z was a good enough excuse as any so I done take it.

Tonight! Shoulders / Arms / Ab. Still feeling tired from last night and my left shoulder is mildly tweaked....but I worked hard and felt decent. I opted out of the bonus round just to give my left shoulder a break...and then went right into ab ripper x. Getting better here folks. Can do a lot of the exercises now - so i expect by the end of the program, I will be in good ab form to do most if not all.

See you tomorrow. Yoga X is on the menu and I need to make sure I bring it for 90 minutes!

Day 16 - Plyometrics

Day 16 came and I brought it. For those new to the program, or this blog, Plyometrics is Jumping Exercises. Tony gives you no break and no sympathy as he works you through about 30 + exercises one after the other...He calls it the "other of all P90X workouts". Glad it's over for today. Now I can finish eating this 5 egg white chicken scramble I got myself into.

Losing Weight and Feeling Great.

Bring it!
