P90X Lean Day 45: Chest, Shoulders and Triceps and Ab Ripper X

WOW, I'm half way done! That's both scary and exciting.

I really had to drag myself out of bed this morning to get this workout in. C left for PA today to go visit a friend and kissed me goodbye at 4:30am; the alarm went off at 5am and I pressed snooze. It went off again... snooze. And again... snooze. Oops.

I decided that I'd get as far as I could before having to take Jackson out for some exercise before I had to leave to teach class. The one good thing about this workout is that you can fast forward through some of it since they provide ample time to do the push-ups. When you're like me and can't do 20+ push-ups, that adds up to a good bit of time.

I had originally fast forwarded through the one-handed push-ups today and then made myself go back when I noticed that the lady in the video had her hand out by her head to do these. I got down on my knees and went down pretty far with this method. Imagine that! I also did some of the plyo push-ups today getting a little bit of air, being very aware of how I'm landing so I don't hurt myself.

Not bad for not having a ton of motivation this morning... tonight I MUST do ARX. MUST.

P90X Lean Day 44: Cardio X

I had every intention of running today after I did this workout until I realized that it was going to take me an hour to get to where I was teaching. Scratch the run... enjoy rush hour traffic instead (insert eye roll here). It took me a bit to get into the workout and by the time it was done, I was wide awake and ready to go. Of course this had to happen on the day that I can't go run!

This workout is so nice and short once you skip the yoga crap, it's over so fast but yet I still feel like it's a good workout. Not great, but good. Next week I'll be back to my normal schedule so I can swim again... I must make myself get in the water!
