Day 77: X Stretch
0Zach did most of the stretch hour with me today. Although he kept skipping out saying he was tired. I definitely keep getting more flexible, although I’ll never be able to do some of the things the women in the video do. Tomorrow is the start of the last adaptive/mastery phase followed by a recovery week to close out the 90 days. I really want to bring it this week and get the most out of it.
Day 76: Kenpo X
0My body is definitely tired. This workout is normally pretty easy for me today but I was pretty tired throughout. Plus my legs and glutes were a bit sore from yesterday’s workout. Two weeks left until I complete my first round! I can’t wait. I plan on taking about a week or two off, maybe with some stretch days, jogging, yoga to keep busy. But mostly rest. Speaking of rest, tomorrow is X Stretch. That will feel SOOOO good.
Day 75: Legs & Back; Ab Ripper X
0This morning’s ab workout went great. I know some people say this one is hard and a real killer but over the last several weeks it has gotten “easier” for me. It was definitely intense in the beginning but at this point I seem to breeze through it and I’m not cheating!
Just finished up Legs & Back. This one is just so hard and draining and it sucks that it falls on a Friday for me. I pushed extra hard on this one today and sweat like crazy. I felt more wiped out than the Plyo workout. Now I have two days of fun workouts ahead of me; Kenpo tomorrow and Stretch on Sunday.
Day 74: Yoga X
0Today’s workout went pretty well. The first half was really strong. I got a little shaky on the Half Moon pose on my left leg. In fact my left leg was a little shakier than normal in some of the other balance poses. I’m really noticing another surge in flexibility. I can now stand with my feet together and with straight legs I can touch the floor. Also I noticed being able to reach farther in other stretches. Getting closer to the 90 day mark. Can’t wait to take some time off!
Day 73: Shoulders & Arms; Ab Ripper X
1Today’s workout was a complete waste of time. Being pissed off and tired from the start doesn’t help. I should have just packed it in but I left the DVD going and went through the motions. I figured that was better than nothing. This was one workout that I really needed to do well and my head just wasn’t there today. Oh well.
Day 72: Plyometrics
0I wasn’t feeling all that excited tonight about working out. I made it through the workout and kept up with it the whole time but just felt a little off for some reason. I found myself really looking at the timer and hoping that it would move faster. But it’s all done now. 18 days to go until “graduation”.
Day 71: Chest & Back; Ab Ripper X
0This was the workout that killed me two weeks ago. I did a lot better with it today. I needed to pause if for a couple minutes about 40 minutes into it though. In the past, I would do as many unassisted pullups as I could and then use the chair for the remaining seconds. Today I decided to ditch the chair altogether. Instead, I would take a few seconds break after the unassisted one and then just try to squeak out a few more during the remaining time of each set. Also, this was the second workout that I used the pushup bars. Using them must be harder since I wasn’t able to do as many reps with them. However, I have a feeling they were more effective since I seem to get a little deeper when I used them. The ab workout was great. I really feel I’ve mastered that one pretty well at this point. Each time I do it I try to add some element to make it a little harder. I’m convince I have abs of steel underneath the remaining layer of flab on my belly!
