P90X Lean Day 4: Yoga X

Um, yeah. I don't like yoga.

I attempted 20 minutes of this and gave up. Running was much more appealing although I was still somewhat sore and didn't have a great run. Damn the downward dog and how it seemed to be a part of every.single.move. I'm not kidding. I have been told though that it finally gets past all of the downward/upward dogs, but I didn't get that far.

There's really nothing much to report about this video. It's by far my least favorite. Maybe as time goes on I'll learn to like it, but it's not looking good.

P90X Lean Day 3: Shoulders and Arms, Ab Ripper X

My triceps BURN. Shoulders and biceps feel good, but my triceps burn. I got out of bed too late today to go for a run, but it would've been a perfect day to run since this was all upper body and no cardio. Since tomorrow is yoga and I plan on running, I'm going to skip the run today and do the ab ripper tonight. I just simply ran out of time this morning.

My biggest problem today was that I didn't know what weights to use for a lot of the moves, so I was concentrating on form and not necessarily "Bringing It" and using weight for me to reach that failure point at 12-15 reps. I NEED to get a log to write down my weights and reps, this is definitely going to help in the weeks to come.

Again, I need to concentrate 110% on this and not just do "another workout". Andrea's wedding is coming up and I'd love to look great for that, especially since I'll be seeing people I haven't seen in forever. On top of that, I need my self confidence back. It's currently on vacation and I miss it.

UPDATE: I did the Ab Ripper. Ok, I attempted the ab ripper. Holy shit is that a hard workout. 16 minutes of hell, actually. I wanted to cry at the end and I couldn't make it through most of the 25 reps. I was SO happy when it was over, but right now I'm not feeling it at all. Who knows... I definitely tried... we'll see what happens next time!
