P90X3 Triometrics

Woweee I forgot how tough P90X3's Triometrics one can be!
It's surprising how quickly you can loose you finesse with balance and your cardio shape too.

I struggled with oxygen in places but really enjoyed it.
I don't think I fueled my body well enough for it though. That one slice of linseed and oat bread with dinner was just not enough but I'm still learning with my new work schedule so I will know for next time.

P90X3 Incinerator

So my back pain is lots better - not completely gone but about 95% gone and if I rest anymore I'll go crazy!!!!

I thought I'd ease back in with few 30 mins workouts and I'm missing Tony H so P90X3 it is with Incinerator.

Really enjoyed it - my back hurt me once in the warm up beleive it or not then never hurt me again through the workout!
Slightly modified with Rip 60 straps for pull ups and chin ups but got it done. I got most of weights right except the 12.5lbs for last move Rocket Launcher kick backs and on tired triceps it was too much. I managed 12 reps back in October but today only 2 and then backed down to 10 lbs to finish off.

The burn out went great till he said "just over a minute to go" and I was toast. It was like I hadn't worked out in months all of a sudden lol. Great fun though, nice to have a giggle with Tony and it feels great to back at it :)

PS I dont think my Peak HR of 199 is real lol I think my was HRM messing about.

Back pain

Not slept well the last few nights again and last night I had some back ache. Woke this morning with worse back ache that is agony when I look down. It's weird as I had something similar when I had been on the sofa for 3 days?? I actually think its from the pike push ups in Max 30 Tabata Strength - I felt my back not overly happy as I got tired :(

So no workout today - with work being more physical for me now I think rest is in order today.

I might take a few more days next week to adjust to the new work load before I take on Bulk Beast. I really want to carry on with the hybrid but I think its only fair to my body to give it another week.

I'll do some other workouts just to see how I'm feeling then hopefully go for it next week.

BBeast Total Body

I felt ready for some lifting so Beast Total Body. I had to do it at home so modified the pull ups to Rip 60 Strap pull ups/rows and using my Bowflex takes a bit longer to change weights.

Had a pause a few times as the pace is pretty quick in this one but OMG did I enjoy this workout tonight. Absolutely loved it, my body felt strong and I smashed more full push ups than I've ever done :)
I didn't do the incline press because of no bench or ball at home and I didn't want to aggravate my shoulder so I did floor chest press.

I think I've learnt one crucial thing these last few weeks = I don't rest/recover enough!
So anybody that notices if I start pushing too hard in a recovery week or between programs/hybrids can someone kindly give me a virtual kick in backside please.
I know about over training and I know it can creep up on people and I advise about/against it as I can see it others but sometimes I clearly don't always practice what I preach.

BOD Yoga Stretch

Needed something gentle so Foundation Week of BOD 21 Day Yoga Retreat Day 2 Stretch was the chosen one and it was just what I needed.

Still undecided on how much to push tomorrow as last two night didn't sleep well at all.

My days have all changed again as I'm now having to work different hours doing more physical work which means bang go my morning workouts. So after I get my normal work done now in the afternoon I'm back to evening workouts. Which is fine but it means I have to travel to my gym grrrrrr or use minimal equipment at home!

Max 30 Tabata Strength

So I'm feeling much better now (after mostly 2 weeks off from the dreaded lergy flu, thinking I was right as nine-pence and then rough again) so I wanted to get back into it and went for Max 30 Tabata Strength.

Great fun, really enjoyed - didn't push crazy crazy hard but gave it a good go if you know what I mean ;)

Struggled on some of the later stages of shoulder work and push ups as expected but enjoyed every second.

Might go a little easier the rest of the week as I don't want to set myself back again and it is recovery week after all lol but boy its good to be back.

BBeast Build Back and Bi's

Long busy day but got something done.

Went fairly well matching most of my weights from 2 weeks ago apart from by left bicep started hurting again on the seated bicep curl?

Energy was low and I was struggling so after set 2 of 1,1,2 Hammer curl I skipped the rest and just did the Cobra's and stretched.

I'm clearly not fully recovered either from the flu or in the bicep so pushing on would have been stupid.
Onward and upward!
