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.

great backup option for your pics etc

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.

P90X hybrid - Day 37

Had an after work short celebration and had a beer or two.  Made it slightly tougher to get myself motivated to do the workout.  Did AbRipper first today.  Full reps on all moves and down to 21:30 from 23:00 last time.  Probably helped that I did the workout first so was less tired.  Really blasted the biceps.  I am afraid for what will happen around 6-8pm tonight.  :)  They are gonna be sore for sure!  I love strip set curls.  Its one of my favorite exercises in the program.  Your arms are just so wasted after that move.  I really need a set of 15lb dumbells and I think I need one heavy one for lawnmowers like a 45 or 50 or something.

P90X hybrid - Day 36

Time problems today so couldn't do Yoga.  So I did Pure Cardio again.  Working on the food stuff may be helping.  Down a couple lbs this week.  It could be water though due to drinking a lot less diet coke.  Gonna focus on keeping carbs as low as I can and see if I can continue to cut lbs.

P90X hybrid - Day 35

Week 6.  Good workout today.  Bumped up a couple weights from last week.  Had to skip the last two moves due to time contraints.  Did Ab work on my day off yesterday so didn't make up ab ripper either.

P90X hybrid - Day 33

Call me suicidal, I ended up doing Pure Cardio again today.  Turns out its the short one at 38 mins.  Shaun T sucks.  Sweated my ass off, and spent much time gasping.  Soreness from legs and back is kicking in, will see how it is tomorrow on rest day.

P90X hybrid - Day 32

Legs & Back day, went pretty well.  Need to update my excel sheet so I can see how im improving overall.  I did a slightly different strategy on abripper today.  I did the full 349 reps, but did them at my speed and just timed it.  It took 23 minutes vs I think 16-17 on the video.  So I think I will do this way going forward and do full 349 reps, but work on improving the time.

P90X hybrid - Day 31

Thursday will be busy so lucky me I got to do Pure Cardio today.  I made it through the warmup except for the final two exercises.  Managed about 40 seconds average of the 60 seconds for each move in pure cardio.  That workout is still insane.  And I am only two weeks from switching to the "max" versions.  I may end up leaving the max workouts until Phase 3 instead of middle of Phase 2.  I just pray that tomorrow's Legs and Back will not kill my ability to tackle stairs for 3 days this week.  :)  Im re-focusing the food goals starting today.  Have been too lax in that portion and its clearly hurting my results weight loss wise.  Drastically reducing carbs and also soft drinks.

P90X hybrid - Day 30

Back & Biceps.  Ahh strip set curls.  Biceps wasted, will be sore for sure tomorrow.  Great workout though.  I love this one.  Except for corn cobs though.  I do the most bastardized version since I do angled leg assisted pullups.  Missing a 15lb dumbell though and it hurts for the curls.  Had to do last two sets with 10s.  Need to figure something out.  No basketball tomorrow, want to give achiles plenty of time before I play again so that means Shaun T.

P90X hybrid - Day 29

Ugh Yoga.  So sick of it since did it 3 times in like 5 days.  Glad I don't have to do it for a week.  Ended up skipping a portion of it and I did about 50-60 pushups of various types the rest of the day.

P90X hybrid - Day 28

Chest/shoulder/tri for first time this cycle.  Started pretty much where I ended cycle 1 weight and rep wise.  Really worked the triceps, they are gonna be sore I can already tell.  I am taking it easy on the shoulder since I want to avoid problems I had last time through.  Got 300 points in ab ripper.  Seem to be right in there around 300 points now.  Its getting harder to add reps on things now. 

P90X hybrid - Day 26

End of Recovery week.  Did about 70-75 mins of yoga workout.  Rest day tomorrow, achilles feels just barely tender so should be good to go by Tuesday cardio workout.  Plan to stick with using the ultrasonic thing for a few weeks this time and try and really get it healed up well.  No basketball for a bit due to rain anyways.

P90X hybrid - Day 25

Stretch X.  Easiest workout of the entire program.  :)  Nice to have a good break on my achilles.  With yoga today and day of after that I think that I should be good to go for week 5.

P90X hybrid - Day 24

Basketball today.  Played one game too many.  Iced it well but its going to be sore tomorrow.  Luckily Tomorrow is Stretch X and then I think Yoga then rest day and then an upper body day.  So I get about 4 days to let it recover before I have to to do a cardio workout.

P90X hybrid - Day 23

Core Synergistics last night.  Mostly started where I ended last cycle.  Did a little better on some of the plank/chataranga exercises.  Still leary of left shoulder.  Want to make sure its good to go by Start of Week 5.  Hoping to play basketball tomorrow instead of Insanity workout.

P90X hybrid - Day 22

New workout today.  Cardio Balance and Power.  Was interesting to see an Insanity "recovery" workout.  Its still about as tough as a P90X cardio routine.  :)  My legs will appreciate the week of rest though.  Last week legs and back was a bear.  Sore legs for 2-3 days after.  Will probably bump Core Synergistics up to tonight and do cardio tomorrow.

P90X hybrid - Day 21

Yoga sucks, I still hate it.  :)  Did a poor yoga this week.  Will have to work harder on the second one later in the week.

P90X hybrid - Day 19

No basketball today so had to suffer through Pure Cardio.  :)  This workout just kicks my ass everytime.  Its so hard to keep up for the 13 straight minutes of hopping/kicking/running.  Didn't help my legs anymore either.  Need to make 100% sure I have my shake after leg workout nights.  At least I get tomorrow of and next week is recovery week.  Woohoo!  Even if I do have to do Yoga twice.  :(

P90X hybrid - Day 18

Sore legs.  Ugh.  Finished legs and back, had a good routine this week.  Also broke 300 pts in Ab Ripper X.  So I am equal or better than the end of Phase 3 for everything at this point.  So now I can improve from where I ended the last cycle.  Pure Cardio tomorrow, then its recovery week and Core Synergystics.

P90X hybrid - Day 17

Replaced Cardio Circuit with Basketball tonight.  Sorry Shaun T I will see you on Thursday though.  Tomorrow is Legs and Back.  Hope it goes better this week.

P90X hybrid - Day 17

Gonna have to watch my right shoulder.  Its the one I tweaked last time through.  Going light on a couple of the ones that don't feel so well.  Surprisingly its not really the overhead ones, its more of the flys that I have issues with.  Got a pretty good workout in today.  Didn't tally up AbRipper but I think I am getting close to a 300 pt one.  (I did it first today though instead of after)  My Abs are feeling the pain though.  Still pretty sore.  Hopefully it doesn't rain tomorrow so I can play basketball instead of seeing Shaun T.

P90X hybrid - Day 16

Did a bit more of Yoga this time.  Abs are still getting quite sore from AbRipper and it really affects the Yoga.  Its so much harder to to the vinyasa sequences with super sore abs.  :(  Hopefully it won't be as bad after I get a full week of no AbRipper next week.

P90X hybrid - Day 15

Pretty good Chest & Back today.  Seeing regular progression in weight/reps.  Leg seems fine, was just a light strain of some type, so should be good to go for this week.  Then recovery week is easier on the legs too.

P90X hybrid - Day 13

Pure Cardio.  Man this workout is so hard.  By the last 3-4 exercises I am barely able to do 30 seconds for each one.  My legs were sore, but I tried to make sure to stretch them extra and added a quad stretch before and after.  Can't tell you how much I am looking forward to a rest day.

P90X hybrid - Day 12

Legs and Back.  Ow.  Did half decent until I got some kind of cramp or tweak in one of my quads.  Was able to finish but had to skip the last two lunge exercises.  My calves were on FIRE today.  I dropped the weights down to 10lbs on the calf burners.  I think will be sore, but not as bad as last week.

P90X hybrid - Day 11

Decided to do Plyo Circuit instead of the Power one today.  I think I might be getting a cold, which sucks for the cardio.  I muddled through.  These Insanity workouts are so freaking demanding.  By the time I get to the last circuit I am barely doing about half of what they do in the videos.  Tomorrow is the tester though.  Legs and Back.  Need to cross fingers and hope I am not as sore as last week.  I am currently sticking to drinking a shake on the nights after I do the strength workouts, so 3 days a week.

P90X hybrid - Day 10

Soreness even lower now.  Chest Sh Tri went well today.  This cycle of P90X I am focusing on bringing it and really pushing the workouts more than in the first cycle.  Also classic schedule is definitely tougher with 3 strength workouts a week instead of 2.  Most exercises I am roughly at my endpoint from my last P90X run.

P90X hybrid - Day 9

Yoga went much better today.  Can't manage all of the power yoga portion yet, but did the whole rest of the routine.  Its still such a long workout though.  At least it falls on Sundays this cycle so easier to fit it in.

P90X hybrid - Day 8 (week 2.1)

Still sore legs.  Although the workout actually helped with the moving around.  Definitely noticed improvements in Ab Ripper.  Over 220pts today.  Hoping this week the soreness level will not be as bad since I go back to work.

P90X hybrid - Day 6

Today was Pure Cardio day.  I hope I survive the weekend.  The workout was rough, but mainly the issues is I don't know if my legs have ever been this sore.  Hurts to sit down, and once I am sitting it hurts worse to stand up.  :)  At least tomorrow is day off.

P90X hybrid - Day 5

Wow, legs and back was a killer.  I am going to be sore for sure.  AbRipper is still quite low on pts but its increasing a bit.

P90X hybrid - Day 4

Cardio Power from Insanity.  Was painful but I mostly got through it.  So sore from the two chest workouts it hurt with all the jumping.
