P90X Chest and Back

P90X Chest and Back again for me today and loved it. Increased some of my weights, used heavier bands and got more reps on push ups so yep I'm feeling stronger - wahoo!!

Happy New year Everybody - Lets make 2019 the happiest, healthiest and fittest yet!!!!

Transform 20 Sample + Transform in 10 & P90X3 Yoga

Wanted to see if my breathing was better so I went for Transform in 20 Sample again and loved it with my higher step. A few coughs but overall much better thank goodness :)

I still had a little in the tank so I chased it with Transform in 10 but the tank emptied pretty quickly lol phew!!

Then went all zen with Tony and X3 Yoga.

P90X Shoulders and Arms

I rested yesterday as I'm still coughing (much to my annoyance) but got P90X Shoulders and Arms done today - wow you really can't beat P90X can you?

Loved it!!

P90X Chest & Back, Transform in 10 & 15

After a week of being laid up and capable of very little I finally got back to doing something yesterday. I'm still not 100% but I have to do something as I'm going crazy!

So Christmas day was good ol' P90X Chest and Back, with new heavier bands so that I can actually still get some decent pull down action at home. Felt great to so something after so much sitting/ resting and coughing!!!

Today I went with Transform in 10 then after a couple of minutes breather I went into Transform in 15. Both with my proper step and one riser. That extra hight makes a difference (again) and I think on top of getting slightly out of cardio shape doing nothing combined with my 'not clear' respiratory system I struggles at times today. But I pushed and it just felt good to get the blood pumping at last.

Chased it with Yoga retreat Stretch with Vytas and that felt good too.

Hope everyone is having a great Christmas/boxing day chill out.

Asylum Strength

Asylum Strength and what a real total body smash up it is too. Really great workout and the pace of the dumbell rotations take some keeping up with if you are me, thats for sure.

Used 10lbs/4.5kgs for most of it and 3kg / 6lbs for shoulders and the hip thrusts and rows when I just could cope with the shaking of my lats/arms any more lol.

X3 Decelerator & transform 20 Sample

X3 Decelerator and don't you just love Elevator Pull ups. Long while since I've done this one and it was ok. I was cautious on Push ups with shoulder but it pretty good.

Went straight into Transform 20 Sample again as I was in my gym with a proper step and little more room and yes the step height makes a big difference. I know my legs were a little tired from the squats and lunges in Decelerator but my quads soon noticed the higher step. (And comparing HR graphs so did my HR too)

1st transformer I didn't do so well on and the other 2 I did :)

LMOD BodyCombat 68

I thought my legs might feel trashed today but I felt good.
Had a frustrating day though so I punched and kicked all my frustrations out with BodyCombat 68. Love it!!!

I was cautious with the push ups and skipped some of them as my chest felt a little tender.

X3 Incinerator & Tranform 20 Sample

X3 Incinerator and I was at home again so same subs as last time for pull ups and chin ups. The last set of Arm and Hammer curls felt tough for some reason but I did increase on the A press and over all felt good.

I skipped the burnout and went straight into Transform 20 Sample workout and although with my small Wii step again it had me breathing hard and taking breaks with the plank work as my upper body was toast already lol.
Loved it - I think Transform 20 is going to be pretty epic.

I was concerned there would be too much impact for me to do it everyday but he cleverly works your legs without all the constant impact of T25 so I'm really looking forward to it :)

X3 Eccentric Lower and Transform in 10 & 15

X3 Eccentric Lower and I increased my weights for Squat, Sumo, Adductor Lunge and Calf raises (which I sub in for Calf dog) so really pleased over all. Oh and I skipped the hip flexor splits again.

So I wanted try the new Transform 20 workouts and after much deliberation I did Transform in 10 and chased it with Transform in 15. I only used a a low step (Wii step actually) as my normal step is at my gym and I was at home but it work brilliantly, especially in the small area of our tiny living room.
Also after just doing heavy'ish legs with Tony I didn't want to kill myself lol. I loved it - I know it was Shaun going easy'ish but it was great fun. I struggled in the plank work as usual and also I have  Incinerator tomorrow so I didn't try too hard with my upper body and overall it was great.

Can't wait to try the Sample 20 one soon too - Maybe tomorrow with larger step if I get chance, if I'm feeling brave and not to trashed as my legs got worked pretty hard tonight.

T25 Core Speed and Yoga retreat Day 2 Stretch

T25 Core Speed for me today as I think I need to get my feet ready for Transform 20 and it also got the blood pumping to help with my upper body doms!! The pull up bar sure woke up some muscles yesterday lol.

Chased it with Yoga retreat Day 2 Stretch with the brilliant Vytas = Just what I needed. I swopped it for X3 Yoga and really glad I did - it was great to properly stretch out my lower body and I felt great and calm almost zen afterwards.

X3 Eccentric Upper & Triometrics

Eccentric Upper and I managed to get to my pull up bar today and OMG that was tough. Those slow 3 counts really burn those muscles out fast.

I chased it with Triometrics and with a bit more room I could go for it a little more and I was toasty toast by then end!!!

Great total body smash up.

X3 Eccentric Lower and LMOD BodyCombat 62 Express

Eccentric Lower today and increased some of weights :) Had an interruption to go look an noisey treadmill but got back to it. Skipped the hip flexor splits to save some time and also don't think they do that much for me.

Straight into BodyCombat 62 Express as recommended by Janaina a few weeks back and enjoyed it. The guy that wasn't Dan or Rach was a bit naff but really enjoyed the rest of the workout (No legs stuff either which was great after doing legs!) . Skipped conditioning for time.

X3 Incinerator

Incinerator today and really enjoyed it - felt great to lift again.

Had to modify some as I was at home and my bands don't really feel very heavy (I need a stronger band I know) so I swopped pull ups for Hip thrusts (Shaun T move from Asylum Strength) and chin up for Bent over rows with chin up grip.

Followed by a good stretch to help some soreness from yesterday.

Cold / Sinusitis and finally X3 Triometrics and Yoga

I've been out of commission for over a week with cold / sinusitis that actually felt like mild flu grrrr and today I finally feel like I'm back in the land of the living - thank goodness!!!

X3 Triometrics to get my 2nd week of Rnd 2 of phase 2 of X3 back on track - but I didn't go crazy - enjoyed though and it felt good to get the blood pumping after all the sitting and stiffness from rest rest and more rest. Watched a few good films though :)

Chased it with X3 Yoga for a good stretch out.

Here's to staying healthy from here on in!!!

Everyone is still crushing it I see - Great job!!!!
