Day: 27, P90X Yoga: MC2

Log Entry

Daily Note: Today is New Years Eve for 2010. Big party at the house tonight. It's going to be awesome. Like most big things, I just wanted to let it be known that 2010 and the year I started P90X and my master's degree ends today. Very glad I got to end it with yoga.

Workout

P90X Yoga: MC2 Status: Completed Absolutely amazing day of Yoga: MC2. My whole body felt strong, and this was one of my better yoga routines for my entire P90X program! Awesome! Final workout of 2010! This has been an amazing year, and I can't wait to see what happens in 2011. Peace out 2010; I'll see you in the memories!

Day: 26, P90X Core Synergistics

Log Entry

Daily Note: Not workout related, but today is Mom's birthday and I wanted to give a shout out to her. Happy Birthday Mom!

Workout

P90X Core Synergistics Status: Completed Ouch. I had to get up early today, and the weather is crazy so I didn't sleep well, and man did I feel it during core. This was harder than the original Week 4 Core day! Today just wasn't happening. I made it through 75% of the workout when I decided the energy was gone, and I was doing more damage than good. Today's kind of a wash, but tomorrow is yoga so I'm expecting to get my energy back soon. Recovery week is moving along, and when I start lifting again on Sunday it will be the start of 2011! I've let the diet slide a little in December, but I'm ready to hit the ground running in January! Right when Phase 2 starts, and I have a fresh bag of chocolate shakeology ready too! Bring it!

Day: 25, P90X X Stretch

Workout

P90X X Stretch Status: Completed Another round of X Stretch is in the books. I've been very tight this week, so this stretch workout was really difficult. By the end, though, I was feeling pretty bendy again. This is a nice little treat every recovery week. I was dreading waking up this morning, but for a stretch it's really no big deal. Stretching is a nice way to start the day. Time to go to work. Bring it!

Day: 24, P90X Kenpo X

Workout

P90X Kenpo X Status: Completed Good kenpo workout today. Not great, but good. My legs are still feeling really tight, so that made the kicks difficult. My punches were pretty strong still, and I threw them on the bag with the gloves too. Adding the bag and gloves makes you use so much more strength, and when that occasional weak punch is thrown I can hear it and it motivates me to throw the next one harder. Stretch day tomorrow and man do I ever need it! The recovery week continues. Bring it!

Day: 23, P90X Core Synergistics

Workout

P90X Core Synergistics Status: Completed Core kicked my ass today! I got through it, but it wasn't pretty. I felt pretty rough today in general. My legs and upper body hurt like I worked out too hard. What's weird is, yesterday was yoga and the day before that was a rest day. I should have felt great today. Instead I was tight and moving very slow. That said, I defeated core synergistics and am soaked. That's another victory. Kenpo tomorrow. I'm hoping I'm feeling a lot more loose. Bring it!

Day: 22, P90X Yoga: MC2

Log Entry

Daily Note: Not yoga related, but I'm reviewing plyocide right now. I want to see if it's as hard or harder than plyo x. If it is, I'm switching it in in phase 2, similar to how the weights change. In phase 3 I'll alternate it every other week. That's only if I decide I like it, but the main thing is that if I do plyocide I won't use the weight vest. That's officially on the record. I'll have my decision by next week!

Workout

P90X Yoga: MC2 Status: Completed Yoga: MC2 is completed. The better I do at this routine, the better I feel after. It's a really amazing yoga routine. It's so much more involved than yoga x, and it's not a formulaic too. I like that, because it's much easier to dread things when I can predict them. Surprises are much easier to deal with. The recovery week has begun, and since it's Sunday I really had a lot of time to calm myself and wake up before yoga. Namaste folks. Namaste.

Day: 21, P90X Rest

Workout

P90X Rest Status: Completed Today is a Saturday, so I have no intention of working out today, but it's Christmas and I wanted to wish the world a Happy Holiday! Yes, I may be a Fat Free Jew, but I still support Christmas because it definitely brings people together. Plus I'm trying to get my folks into the whole home fitness craze I've been on, so I got Mom so yoga stuff and Dad a balance ball and some bands. Eventually I'll get them some Beachbody products, but I need to work them up to it. Happy Holidays from the Fat Free Jew!
