Day 720 - X2 Chest + Back + Balance (1/2)

I did my normal workout tonight for a Monday.  To be a bit different I did it without the CD playing tonight since I have he workout sheet and know the moves by heart.  I too it at a bit more relaxed of a pace tonight and watched a TV show while I was working out.  It allowed me to get more reps done because I wasn't pushing the pace.  I can tell that staying focused on phase 2 is working for me.  Chest and arms are increasing in size some.  Woohoo.

Day 719 - Hybrid workout

Tonight I decided to make up my own hybrid workout. For those that are familiar with X2, I substituted rounds 2 and 4 of Plyocide with two rounds of Shoulders & Arms. Consider it a slightly different form of a killer Base & Base workout. That was way harder than I thought it would be, but it was a really good workout.

Day 718 - X2 Ab Ripper

Tonight I started my workout by finishing up the workout from last night and then did Ab Ripper afterward.  I usually do Ab Ripper first, but decided to do it afterward.  I was surprised by how much harder it was to do it after the upper body workout.  I think I like to it first.

Day 717 - X2 Chest + Back + Balance (part 1)

It's Monday and I'm on my normal (current) schedule of 2/3 of this workout with the plan to finish it up tomorrow with Ab Ripper.  I noticed that Shoulder's + Arms are pretty tough on my left shoulder.  I think I may find out that I should limit how often I do that one. Or I may need to modify to avoid doing the Arnold Press move.  It's just a bit too tough on my shoulders.  Tonight's workout was good.  I increased reps on a couple of moves.

Day 716 - 5K morning run & X2 Shoulders + Arms

Weather is finally starting to warm up.  It's 4:00 in the afternoon as I write this and it's 65 degrees outside.  I went for my run this morning at about 8:30 and it was just under 40 degrees at that point.  I did my usual 5K.  I was hoping to try the trail, but I suspect it's still too sloppy to try it yet because of all of the melting of snow.  Getting back into a workout rhythm seems to be helping because I didn't have any issues getting the run completed today. I didn't have to stop during the run, so that's an improvement since the last run I did two weeks ago. Tonight I also did Shoulders + Arms.  It's been literally 4 months since I last did this workout because of my back issues.  Now that my back is feeling better I decided to give it a go again.  It seemed to go okay.  Not too many issues.  I was a bit careful about not overdoing it.

Day 715 - X2 Yoga

Last night we went to the mall food court for dinner.  As usual Kristi and I  got our salads from SaladWorks and our son Stephen got a bacon double cheese burger and fries from five guys.  He tries to work out with P90X2, but I don't think he quite gets the idea of eating healthy.  Must be good to be 17 years old.  Yoga was great.  I got through it with no issue.

Day 714 - X2 Plyocide

I got in a good Plyocide workout tonight. I was sweating up a storm by the time I was done.  I weighed in this morning and am still at 145, so I still need to get that number down a bit, but I'm also noticing that I'm getting some of the muscle back now that I'm back into more of a routine with the workouts.  Tomorrow I plan to do X2 Yoga.  I didn't do it last week and I'm sorry that I didn't it's too beneficial to be skipping it.
