P90X hybrid - Day 59
Shoulders&Arms today. Such a workout. Did the bonus round. Good improvement in most exercises. I did have to drop down for the lay on your back tricep thing. The angle of keeping the upper arm vertical can be tough on my right shoulder. 13lbs was ok, 20 can tweak it.
P90X hybrid - Day 57
Had to take second recovery week for shoulder. Feels pretty good now. Started back today with the wonderful Chest&Back routine. Switched how I do pullups so I still use legs but I go up higher this way, trying to do the negative thing where I support as much weight as I can on way down. I can already tell the soreness is gonna be like starting over almost. :) Gonna be a tricky finish with vacation. I may have to replace one of my bands so I can do workouts on the road.

P90X hybrid - Day 46
Pure Cardio tonight. Went well. Back was really only noticed on a couple of stretches so will see how I feel tomorrow and look at schedule to decide legs and back or not. Might be nice to do legs and back day prior to rest day then recovery week time.
P90X hybrid - Day 45
Back & Bi - man I love this workout. The Bicep rip is insane. It doesn't seem to me like any other workout focuses so much on a single muscle group. One downer was I got a slight left lower back strain during lawnmowers. I may swap order and do 2 days of Cardio in a row before I do Legs & Back to head into recovery week for Phase 2. Really hating Yoga now and double up next week. May do extra Cardio in place one workout.

P90X hybrid - Day 39
Bad plan. Tonight I did Insanity Cardio Power workout. Do not do this workout the day after legs and back. :) Sore legs make this workout a lot harder with the jumps especially. Otherwise its an easier workout that pure cardio to keep up with. Still owe my AbRipper from yesterday. Not sure if day off is tonight or tomorrow. Depends on schedule tonight.

P90X hybrid - Day 38
Busy day tomorrow so swapped strength workouts. Did Legs and Back today. For some reason I feel I will be less sore tomorrow. Not sure why, but I just didn't have the weak jelly legs as much today. I feel my soreness has tapered off to the more consistent soreness where you muscles just realize that resistance is futile and stop trying to get you to change your mind and leave them alone. :) Want to figure out a way to change the pullup angles more vertical will still keeping them doable. May try bands again. Now I have to finish the week with back to back cardio workouts with Shaun T. :( Also I didn't do AbRipper tonight since wanted to have day off between. Will do it tomorrow on the normal day after my cardio workout.
