Week 7 P90X

I took a week off.  I know you aren’t supposed to, but since when did I start following this plan exactly?  I was feeling really run down, I had officially slept 8 days in a row… working 1 day on, 1 day off, 2 days on, 1 day off, 1 day on, 2 days off, 1 day on.  Try to imagine…. It was really hard on me.  I went back to it though, with hardly any trouble getting into the swing of things.

Since I write down how much I do on the strengthening sessions, I’m just going to write down some things I’ve improved on in the three weeks that I’ve been doing this second rotation.

Day 43// Chest, Shoulders & Triceps:

*Slow motion 3 -1 push ups:  12 (knees) ---- 3 (toes) 11 (knees)

*Floor flys:                          12 (knees)  --- 3 (toes) 15 (knees)

*Side to Side Push ups:    6 (knees) -----  13 (knees)

*Chair Dips:                           12           ------     15

Day 44// YogaX:

Today is supposed to be plyometrics, but I switched it.  Mainly because I wanted to get it over with, but also because I wanted to run outside.  It was a beautiful day and I couldn’t pass up being outside.  The last time I did YogaX and ran outside, it was an easier run because I was stretched so well.  I ended up doing about 25 minutes of Yoga and then about 15 minutes of running.  I know I’m not doing the program justice by not doing the yoga, but I don’t care.  I HATE Yoga X.  I hate it. Hate it.  Hate it.  I’m not doing more than I have to.  I don’t see the point in doing an hour and a half of yoga when the entire time you are cussing the program and not getting any good out of it because you’re so mad you have to do it in the first place. 

Day 45//Back & Biceps (&Ab RipperX) 

I’m at the half way point!!  Woot Woot! 

*Static Arm Curls                  16 (5lbs) ------ 16 (8lbs)

*Lawnmowers                       15 (5lbs) ------ 14 (8lbs)

*Switch Grip Pullups     6 (w/chair)------- 8 (w/chair)

*Congdon Locomotives      40 (5lbs)----- 40 (8lbs)

And before you say anything about my weights, I am doing more reps with lighter weights.  I just recently upped my weights to 8 lbs, and it’s a lot harder for me. 

Day 46//Plyometrics –

For some reason it really burned my lungs today.  I finished all of it though, but it wasn’t without me dying.

Day 47// Legs & Back –

I was running late for work, so I only did 30 minutes of it, and then I did some sit ups to make up for not doing Ab Ripper X.  Here are some improvements I’ve made.

*Balance lunges                                     14  ----------  22

*Reverse grip chin ups         6 (w/chair) ---------- 9 (w/chair)

*Super skaters                                     18 -------------- 25

*Wide front pull ups            7 (w/chair) -----------  10 (w/chair)

Day 48// Kenpo X –

I finished it, it was okay...  that’s all I’m going to say.

Day 49// Rest day
