P90X3 Yoga

X3 Yoga

Great little yoga routine - love it!!

I actually felt like I did the half moon and twisting half moon better than I've ever done it before 

P90X Shoulders and Arms

X Shoulders and Arms

This went pretty well tonight, I upped my triceps quite a bit so really chuffed with that. Shoulders went ok and Biceps not quite as good.

Overall pleased with progress especially as I'm lacking a bit of sleep.

X+ Interval X

X+ Interval X

Wow what a great workout! 

First time I've done this one and I really enjoyed it. It's pretty non stop and I was toast by about half way. Had to take a few breathers and pushed on much as I could, and really enjoyed it!

40 mins (1 min rest only) of non stop cardio burn 

X Chest and Back + X Ab Ripper

X Chest and Back + X Ab Ripper - (I planned to do X3 ab ripper but short on time and didn't check schedule grrr)

Decreased my pull up assist by another inch tonight and was pleased with my progress. 

Upped my reps for most of my push ups so really pleased with that  

Struggled to do many oblique v-ups tonight and doms in the glutes is still pretty bad 

P90X Legs and Back

X Legs and Back

I was a little wary of my foot tonight and skipped half of the Sneaky lunges and took breaks in iso lunges but other than went for it  

Great workout which I really enjoyed. My chin ups are feeling strong so will reduce assistance next session and will increase the weights I used and I will add weight to some moves that I did unweighted tonight  

I meant to do some deadlifts before I got going tonight but with pup causing so many distractions and time cracking on I missed/forgot them  In hindsight probably a good thing as this week as been tough with the heat, lack of sleep and draining pup! Will do it next week though.

Loving X

Wow I forgot how tough and great this one was!!! Phew!!!

Really enjoyed it though 

X Shoulders and Arms

X Shoulders and Arms

Enjoyed this tonight, might feel it tomorrow  

P90X - it really is not to be underestimated is it ?- I know it's old in the great scheme of things but wow it really is good.

P90X Plyometrics

X Plyometrics

Couldn't go full blast at this tonight as slight strain in left foot but still enjoyed it. I skipped the hot foot section as that would not be clever and it was still lots of fun - I forgot how it good this was  

Loving doing some solid workouts with Tony again.

A little doms today so thats good, I did push yesterday so looking forward to improve on it next week too.

My Hybrid X Chest and Back + X Ab Ripper

X Chest and Back + X Ab Ripper

I really enjoyed this tonight, the old ones are the best lol 10 months since I last did Chest and Back and I had forgot how good it was.

I was beginning to feel a little week after a week of very little but I was pleased with my reps tonight considering everything  
Push ups and pull ups and somehow Tony makes it fun  

Ab ripper was tough tonight and my quads hurt more than my abs on the in outs and bicycles!

X3 Yoga and X3 Cold Start & Accelerator

Had a crazy/emotional/tiring week visiting our new pup at the RSPCA everyday waiting for our home visit. Which we finally got on tuesday and so wednesday we got a 6 month old sprocker pup (cocker spaniel crossed with a cocker spaniel) home and he really has boundless energy. Been doing lots of more walking for obvious reasons and been too shattered for a workout until yesterday.

I managed X3 Yoga yesterday and then X3 Cold Start & Accelerator today - felt good to do something after near 5 days  I feel like I'm loosing strength and flexibility so need to get back to something so hopefully, albeit a slightly new routine because of the pup, but some kind of routine is being sorted so I'll start my new hybrid on Monday 

Stopping bodybeast to do my own hybrid

I've been resting over the weekend because I've been tired and feeling over trained and I've been doing a lot of thinking and I'm going to stop body beast for now. 
I'm really not enjoying it and don't look forward to my workouts. Since I started Beach Body programs 12 months ago I've looked forward to and enjoyed 99% of my workouts and this last 3 weeks of Body beast just isn't doing it for me I'm afraid.

I'm gonna do my P90X, X2, X3 hybrid I was gonna do before I decided to do body beast and enjoy it again 

BodyBeast Build Week 3 Day

Phase 1 Build Week 3 Day 5

Legs

Upped my weights a little on some and got it done. Looking forward to bulk 

Bodybeast Build Week 3 Day 4 Chest and Tri's

Phase 1 Build Week 3 Day 4

Should be rest today but I'm shuffling it round so Chest and Tri's today

Upped my weights and felt pretty good. Fairly pleased to be up to 9kg DB's for all the press's today.

But straight afterwards had to go clean the windows for nearly an hour 

Really don't look forward to these workouts like all my others so hopefully Bulk phase next week will be better - I hope so 

Bodybeast Build Week 3 Day 3 Shoulders

Phase 1 Build Week 3 Day 3

Shoulders

I wasn't really in the mood this evening but got it done.

I increased my weights quite a bit and some weird nervy type pain in my arm afterwards told me I may have pushed a little too hard!

Should be fine after some good sleep.

Decreased pull up assistance

So today after 2 sessions of managing 12 chin ups and 8/10 pulls during last two Back and Bi's sessions I have decided to decrease the resistance. I have reduced it by 2 inches to see if can get stranger and see how many I can do next time ;)

BodyBeast Phase 1 Build Week 3 Day 2

Phase 1 Build Week 3 Day 3 - can't hack this dodgy days and dates thing - it's actually Week 3 day 2

Beast Cardio, Beast Abs and chased it with LM Pump Flow

Well I actually enjoyed Beast cardio tonight  

I used a 3kg in the early stages then 2 x 4kg for the rest. My mountain climbers and burpees are slowly getting better. My legs were screaming on some of those holds  but I worked hard and was dripping  

Abs was good I used 4kg for the weighted stuff. 

Flow was nice - a bit of yoga and some lovely stretches  

I think I might move my rest day this week from thurs to either sat or sun to help break up the 9 days with no rest as per the calendar 

BodyBeast Phase 1 Build Week 3 Day 3 Back and Bi's

Phase 1 Build Week 3 Day 3

Back and Bi's

Upped my weights again pushed hard tonight - even got shaky arms that were still shaky washing my hair  

Upped my Deadlift to 32kg and 17.3kg on EZ curl and my one arm row up to 10.2kg  

My Pulls up increased this session but my chins were the same - wondering about reducing my assistance down another inch?? reps will go down but strength increase is what I'm after for my chins/pulls.

Lots of pausing to change equipment and move stuff round in my small room but still enjoyed it.

Bodybeast Phase 1 Build Week 3 Day 2 Legs

Phase 1 Build Week 3 Day 2

Legs

I pushed and worked hard tonight and was really pleased with my effort until shortly after I had finished and my left knee started hurting 

I think it may have been the sumo's but not 100% sure. I tried to foam roll incase its triggers but it so frustrating! It's bothering me but I will get a good night sleep and see how it is tomorrow.

Bodybeast Phase 1 Build Week 3 Day 1 Build Chest and Tris

Phase 1 Build Week 3 Day 1

Build Chest and Tris

Went pretty well tonight and I pushed hard - even to failure on the tricep extensions  

Chest press up to 8kg and go more next time. Incline press 8kg as well but that close to my limit today with the Fly at 5.6kg.

Close grip press also 8kg but should up that next time with the partial fly at 5.6kg.

Tricep extension I did the 12 reps at 4.5kg only just and then tried my hardest to complete the 8 with 5.6kg but at 4th reps everything was shaking and I really didn't want to smash my face so I dropped to 4.5kg to finsh  but then of course the drop set was 4.5kg and I I only managed 6 of the 8 reps so had to drop yet again to finish. But hey it gives somewhere to build from and improve on  - if you're not failing you're not trying hard enough right?

Dips reps are improving and my in and outs too!

Overall I'm feeling more sturdy and stocky so something must be working 

BodyBeast Phase 1 Build Week 2 Day 5 Build Shoulders and LMPump Flex

Phase 1 Build Week 2 Day 5

Build Shoulders and I chased it with LMPump Flex

Upped my weights and it felt good tonight.

I wanted a little more and I enjoyed the 20 mins Flex yoga from Pump -  

I have to be honest Sagi is getting to me as he's a little dry and shouting all the time. The changing weights a lot is getting to me as well trying to change equipment often to keep up with them.
I'm feeling a little demotivated and just don't look forward to my Beast workouts like I do my Tony H ones  Which does surprise me
