Day 40: Legs & Back; Ab Ripper X

0

Almost half way through the program at this point. Today was tough. I struggled getting through this one for some reason. I think legs and back are my least favorite muscle groups to workout. They also seem to be the most challenging for me. The leg workouts don’t even use a lot of weights but I think maybe it’s the balance thing that drives me nuts. Anyway, it’s done and the fun weekend workouts are ahead of me now.

Day 39: Yoga X

I felt a little more stable today in some of the poses. Overall a pretty good Yoga workout. I generally don’t look forward to this one since it’s pretty long but it didn’t seem too bad today.

Day 38: Back & Biceps; Ab Ripper X

0

We had our holiday lunch today at work so I ate a little bit more than I would have liked today. But I didn’t eat to the point of exploding, just enough to feel satisfied. Today’s workout wasn’t too bad. I paced myself a bit and paused it a few times. I also don’t feel as tired today as I have the last few days. It was fun posing in the mirror after I worked out because it looked like I had tennis balls for biceps. I just hope they become permanent fixtures one day soon. I did the ab workout this morning and have begun to do the more advanced versions of some of the exercises since the standard ones are starting to get “easy”.

Day 37: Plyometrics

1

I had a vacation day today but had a crazy day. I managed to get my Plyo workout in but kept getting interrupted. I’ve noticed the last couple of days that I’ve been getting really tired late in the afternoon. I’m not quite sure why. Maybe I’m not eating enough carbs. I guess I’ll have to work on that.

Day 36: Chest, Shoulders & Triceps; Ab Ripper X

This was my second time doing this workout and it went much better than the first time. I still can’t do a one-armed pushup but I did well with everything else. I was happy with this one today but I’m tired now.

My 30 Day Picture

0

I’ve gotten emails from people asking me how my 30 day pictures came out. I’ve included a comparsion of my Day 1 and Day 30 profile pics since that is where I’ve notice the most change thus far. I’ve lost about 1.25 inches around my waist and my stomach has gotten a little flatter. You can even see just a little bit of definition in my stomach if you squint hard enough! I’m hoping that my 90 days it will get even flatter and that I will gain more muscle definition all over. I might need to go beyond 90 days but I have a feeling by then I should be in decent shape.

Day 35: X Stretch

0

I used to not be a big fan of stretching but I really enjoy this hour on Sundays. Maybe it’s because 5 of the other workouts during the week are so tough that I simply look forward to this one. Now I can stretch a little bit beyond my toes.
