Core Synergistics

Have you ever done P90x?  If not, you should try it.  This workout - Core Synergistics is NO JOKE!  This is my recovery week for my P90x/Insanity hybrid, day 23.  I tell you what - I had more sweat on me than some of my cardio workouts.  I love this workout because it works your ENTIRE body and your core is the center of it all.  My abs feel stronger just after doing this workout.  If you haven't done this workout, you should add it into your regimen.  It's now one of my new favs.

Saturday's Workout - 6.25.11

So, today was Day 19 of my P90x/Insanity hybrid.  I completed Pure Cardio from the schedule.  That workout is so BRUTUAL!  I mean, starting off with the warm up, I have to wipe off!  As Shaun T says, "I'm spitting sweat!" LMBO!  By the time I'm done, I am drenched in sweat!  I could do that workout several days a weeks and not get bored.  Since my rest day is tomorrow, I decided to step it up today and complete TWO bodyrock workouts (www.bodyrocktv.com) - Take Me Exercise Challenge and Wild & Free Exercise Challenge.  I only ended up doing 5 rounds of the Wild & Free Challenge because sweat was running down my face so fast, I couldn't see.  And as soon as I wiped it from my face, it was there again.  It was messing with my concentration too much.  I felt I had already killed it enough today, no need to kill myself!  HA!  Now I'll enjoy the rest of my day and tomorrow's rest day will either be X Stretch or Yoga......I'll need it!

Day 17 - P90X/Insanity hybrid

Today was D17 of my p90x/insanity hybrid.  All I can say is that my legs are still on FIYAH from my morning workout!  I love it when I can have a burn that lasts ALL DAY long!  It lets me know that I put in some serious work.  The schedule only called for Cardio Recovery but I hadn't done a HIIT workout in a few days so I also added TF HIIT 20.  I still love my TF workouts and try to add them in when I can.  I'm so glad that I did.  In just a few weeks, I'll be taking updated photos for my first 30 days.  Hopefully, I'll see some sort of change that's taken place.  :)

It's FRIDAY!!!!

Today was Day 5 of the P90x/Insanity hybrid. I'm almost a week in and I absolutely love this hybrid! My workout consisted of Legs & Back and Insane Abs. OMG!  I forgot how CRA-ZEE insane abs was!  My whole core was burning!.  I decided to add in some cardio - TF HIIT 20.  I just love the energy and movitation that Chalene Johnson has.  My legs have been on FIYAH all day from these workouts, plus the fact I've been walking up and down my steps.  WHEW!  NO MORE EXCUSES!  Get your body moving!

OAN:  I'll be glad when I finally hit the bed tonight.

Change in Game Plans....

Well, after 10 days of doing my P90x/TF hybrid, I decided to switch over to complete the P90x/Insanity hybrid.  I decided to change up because I had been doing TF for a couple of months and wanted to give my body and muscles a different routine.  With this change in my workout regimen, I'm also scaling back on my food intake, primarily carbs.  While I will need them as energy to complete my workouts, I'm limiting them as well as removing bread.  Oh BOY....I'm praying, keeping my fingers, toes and eyes crossed that I can make that work!

Two was Day 2 of the hybrid and I had Plyo Cardio Circuit on deck.  MAN, I forgot at how much you can sweat from the Insanity workouts!  I was completely drenched and LOVED every bit of it.

Looking forward to see what tomorrow brings!
