After not feeling my Yoga on Friday and generally feeling a little down I decided to change plan slightly. I took Sat and Sunday off completely only going for a couple of walks. Also light eating as a bit of a detox see if I can finally shake this yellow tinge I have grrrr.
Balance and Power
Felt good, made some progress with extra reps here and there, upped my weights to 4kg from 3kg and from 5kg to 6.8kg/15lb for Warrior row press
But towards the end I was flagging, energy just not there. I guess I didn't get enough carbs in the system to sustain me. Bit of an eye opener but also confirm my weekend thinking of few days recovery needed.
So I'm pleased I got Balance and Power done (finished week 3 of foundation phase) but I'm going to finish this actual week out as a recovery/transition/different week to give my body a rest before I start the Strength phase.
Tony's X workouts are all 3 weeks on 1 week transition/recovery but not X2 as he says as P90X grad''s we should know what we are doing so instead of going going going (like a plonker), I decided to listen to my body and keep the same sort of schedule (Jonathan is spot on as this balance stuff really takes more out of you than you think).
My body also obviously likes it as it's always worked for me in the past for X and X3. I may even do 2 on 1 active recovery during strength if it's really taking it's toll but we will see how it goes.
So my plan for rest of the week is
X stretch (I love the foam roller and recovery and mobility but I feel I'm loosing a bit of flexibility in my hamstrings from the lack of stretching so this seems like a good choice)
Kenpo - for a bit of gentle cardio thats not all out ( I don't remember it being gentle when I first did X but compared to LM Combat and X3 MMA should be a walk in the park lol)
Core Synergistics - keep the body awake, remembering what to do lol
X3 Yoga - wanted some yoga and I like this shorter yoga session more than the others as I always feel refreshed after it.
X stretch - bit more stretching to get myself ready for the coming strength phase.
Seems like a good plan guys??
