P90X — Week 2
As you can see from the photographs (sorry for the blurry picture, but it is hard to take photos of yourself!), my back and arm definition has definately improved. This makes me quite pleased. Yay!
I decided to modify my P90X routine for Week 2 to avoid being injured again. So, I swapped the days I do Yoga X and Kenpo. I moved Kenpo to Thursday and Yoga X to Saturday. Sadly I wouldn’t make it to Saturday’s Yoga X. You see, Friday I did legs and back for the first time; it spanked me good. I didn’t even make it through the whole workout! My gluts and hamstrings complained every time I went to sit down or stand up.
I am doing better in the other workouts. I moved up to 5 pound weights for the shoulders and arms. I found this too be light and will move up to 8 pound weights next week. Kenpo still kicks my butt. In my opinion, it is a far better for cardio than the Carido X workout. My biggest complaint–gripe–is all the pushups in the Core Synergistics routine–some of which cannot be modified. I’ve altered this workout by including some of the ab blasting exercises I found in Tony Horton’s 10 Minute Trainer instead of doing (or failing horribly) the pushups.
I still am being pretty good with my diet. Though, admitting, I didn’t adhere to it Sunday when I went to a milonga. Errr, or Saturday when I totally had a craving for sushi. Currently, I weigh in at 107.2 pounds–which is up from last week’s measurement. All-in-all the progress is moving on just fine.
