P90X X Stretch

X Stretch today and wow its such a long time (Oct 14) since I've done this one, I wasn't looking forward to it, as such as I find recovery weeks really hard, but I actually got into it and its just what my body needed.

Apart from my left shoulder is a little twecky - I bothered it yesterday moving some 25kg Drums around at work, which has peed me off a little I'm all ready and really looking forward to getting obsessed over the next 80 days. Bands light to XXX-heavy, sliders, weights and carpet off cut all ready and raring to go!!!

Hope everyone else is ready to go?

X Stretch

Nice to just stretch today and I'm thinking I might just take the whole weekend off - I was gonna do some yoga but I feel a little beat up and it is suppose to be recovery/transition week so I'll see I feel. 
But I think couple of days off will do me good so I'll be ready and raring to go on monday with a bit of LM pump just for a change of pace for a while.

Recovery Day 1 X Stretch

X Stretch

Oooh this felt good today. It was really nice to stretch everything out and boy did I need it  

I didn't feel like I had done much afterwards - which I know was the point but gives me confidence that my body is recovering already  So really looking forward to Kenpo tomorrow.

P90X Final Week Day 4 X Stretch

Final Week Day 4 X Stretch

Just a nice stretch today and it felt good, I needed it especially after the ridiculously busy busy day I had yesterday.

My shoulder feels good but no point being crazy so I might drop my weights slightly for Core Syn. tomorrow just to be on the safe side so 2kg = 1kg, and 4kg = 3kg - still be a good workout but a little safer I think? And I'll skip the Table dip leg raise at the end because that will upset it for sure

P90X Week 11 Day 6 Kenpo X + X Stretch

Week 11 Day 6 Kenpo X + X Stretch

Kenpo today although a little timid with left leg as wary of hurting hamstring but it went really well no pain at all
I didn't do X jacks, just small normal jacks mostly as I didn't think that would be sensible

Went straight into X Stretch afterwards as I felt I needed it and that means Sunday is complete rest day. Tomorrow a few walks planned but other than that will be pretty lazy if I'm honest.

My hamstring didn't hurt on any of the stretches but I didn't push it to see if it hurt either but overall I'm really chuffed.
Bring on week 12

P90X X Stretch

X stretch today - nice and gentle and it felt good. My chatanguras were ok for the shoulder thank goodness, but I was aware of it afterward for about an hour but then all good.

Loved Kenpo today as always, it was great to do it after missing it last week

and so I can rest tomorrow I did X Stretch straight after and it felt great too. Should help with the minor doms from legs and back yesterday.

I did a push up with each chaturanga today, form wasn't perfect as I wasn't tight enough but I still did 3 full push ups.

Hey I did Plough for the first time today, as in got both feet on the floor

X Stretch today, enjoyed it except I tried a push up during the second sun salutation and failed can I really have lost my push ups already??

Also I didn't even break a sweat today - I must be adapting to this stuff and getting fitter ;)

P90X Day 28 X Stretch

Day 28 X Stretch

All done - 1st phase done and dusted

Bring on Phase 2

Visually I don't think there much difference but I'm certainly firmer pretty much all over

My diet has been a bit more phase 2ish than phase 1 with slightly more carb than recommended so I'm hoping this phase 2 should melt more fat away and I'm hoping for more visual changes at in another 28 days

Day 25 X Stretch

X stretch done today

Tried to be leaner with carbs today and was good and resisted chocolate today too.

I usually have 1-2 chunks of Bournville most days and I'm trying not to!!

I cant believe it will soon be time to weigh and measure

P90X Day 21 X Stretch and Day 22 Yoga X

Yesterdau was Day 21 X Stretch

I enjoy stretch day


Today Day 22 Yoga X

I didn't enjoy yoga today as much as normal - not sure why probably cause its only a few days since I did it??
I used push up bars again to help with the runners pose as I tried without them and I cant even get my leg half way on its own grrrr


Looking forward to Core syn. tomorrow but just watching Dvd at the mo' and phew it looks tough!!!
I also need to make a lot of room to roll around the floor, mini workout to rearrange the living room before I even start lol

Nice stretch today, still a little doms in the glutes but all good.

Looking forward to trying the new Core Synergistics after Yoga tomorrow.

P90X Day 14 X Stretch

Thank you guys so much.

Day 14 X Stretch

Did X Stretch today and felt great afterwards, little warm in the heat but still felt good.

Shoulder stand was better but still wary of plough. I did frog today too after not doing it yesterday.

Bring on Week 3

P90X Day 7 X Stretch

Day 7 X Stretch

Wonderful - really enjoyed this today and my body did too

Don't like the dynamic hamstring stretch that's really pfiffer scissors in disguise isn't it?
Every rep I get real good clunk from my right hip area - not sure what it is, not painful but its one of those sounds that you know really shouldn't be there and that if I carry on will everything be alright????


Because my knees are still a little tweaky but seem to be getting better, and the fact that I've never liked doing push ups on my knees, plus they are not good progressing to full push ups from what I've read I'm going to do my push ups on a bar in my rack tomorrow. It should allow for better progressions in stages towards the floor as I get stronger too
