I took Saturday and Sunday off. Saturday because of my blood test and also because my low back was hurting again. This time it was a different pain so I'm not sure how that happened. It was hard for me to stand up after I was sitting down and it hurt on my left side. Sunday I decided to take the day off because the pain was just beginning to subside. Today it's totally gone. So I missed my Kenpo X workout.
Today was Week 2 of Phase 2 of P90X. Did Chest, Shoulders & Triceps and had a great workout. Got up not really into working out but ended up having a really good workout.
I increased either reps or weights as much as possible.
Slow-Motion 3-in-1 Pushups - Wide - 1 set 4/4 count; Standard - 1 sets 4/4 count; Close - 1 sets 4/4 count. Took a few seconds rest and then did 15 fast standard pushups.
In & Out Shoulder Flyes - 8's/16 reps
***This is a front raise and a lateral raise.
Bench Dips - 32 reps
Plange Pushup - 12/8 on toes
***These are like tricep pushups but your fingers are turned out instead of in.
Pyke Presses - 12/5 reps
***I did these with my toes up on my weight bench and I was in a pyke position doing shoulder presses.
Side-Tri Raises - 10 reps each arm
***This didn't bother my right shoulder to much today. I hate still this exercise.
Floor Flyes - 3 sets/4 reps each side
***This is a pushup using a paper plate. You slide your arm to the left, do a pushup and slide it back in. Do this 4 times and then switch sides. These burned.
Scarecrows - 5's/15 reps
***This is a rotator cuff exercise. Hold weights with elbows up like you are doing an upright row. Hold it and turn the hands up and down. These burned like crazy. Felt it in my traps.
Overhead Tricep Extensions - 15's/12 reps
***Used two weights behind my head.
Two-Twitch Speed Pushups - 3 sets + 4 fast
***Did 4 fast pushups, then 3 slow count pushups. These were cool, I liked this exercise.
Y-Presses - 15's/14 reps
***These are overhead presses only you press out to the front more then just straight up and down.
Lying Tricep Extensions - 17's/15 reps
***Need to go heavier.
One minute rest
Side-to-side Pushups - 12 reps
***Basically you "hop" one leg and one arm out to one side, do a push-up, and then return to center briefly before going out to the other side and doing the same thing. I liked this exercise too.
Pour Flyes - 8's/12 reps
***Last week this bothered my right shoulder, this time not so much. You do a lateral raise and then turn your hands down like you are pouring something out of a jug. Got a great burn.
Side-Leaning Tricep Extension - 17's/10 reps each side
***Just like it says, you sit on a bench or chair and lean over to one side and do extensions. I did them on my stability ball, love this exercise.
One-Arm Pushups - 10 on knees
***Sloppy as all get out. I just can't do one-arm pushups.
Weighted Circles - 5's/40 reps; 3's/40 reps
***These were for the shoulders and it burned like hell. Did 10 reps forward, 10 reverse, took a few seconds break and did it again.
Throw the Bomb - 12#/12 reps
***This is a cool twist on a standard overhead triceps extension. You do one arm at a time, and with the other arm, you point forward as if you were pointing to a receiver down the field that you were about to throw a football to. Press the dumbbell straight up in the air and be sure to stop when you get to the top! You aren't actually throwing the dumbbell, but rather modifying the move so that you can put a slight hip twist into it. I liked this one.
Clap or Plyo Pushups - 10 reps/on knees w/clap
***Figured I'd try to get a clap out of this, I did well but did them on my knees.
Slow-Mo Throws - 8's/8 reps
***This is very similar to the Scarecrow exercise, only this time you raise your arms straight out in front of you. From the up position, you then rotate at the elbow to bring the dumbbells back to your ears, then rotate forward to the straight arm position. Drop your arms briefly to your sides, and then repeat. Really felt this one.
Front-to-Back Tricep Extensions - 12#/12 reps each side
***This is a one-arem tricep extension only you alternate pressing to the front and back.
One-Arm Balance Pushups - 12 reps
***Do a pushup and then stack your feet and bring one arm up. Repeat to the other side. I love this exercise.
Fly-Row Presses - 8's/10 reps
***This combines 4 different exercises: the Dumbbell Fly, the Upright Row, the Overhead Dumbbell Press, and the Reverse Curl. You do the fly first, then drop your arms back to your sides before doing the upright row. Without coming out of the up position of the row, drop your elbows and push the dumbbells up overhead, then bring them down and do a reverse curl, ending the movement in the starting position for the next repetition.
Dumbbell Cross-Body Blows - 12's/30-12 reps
***I loved this one, it's basically an alternate chest press but you go across your body and turn the palms toward your face, really works the tri's.. I did it laying on the floor. Great burn with this one.

Hi ladies. Monday sure got here fast for me! My plan today is to take Slow & Heavy biceps, triceps, and back to the gym and then do spin. I may end up just doing biceps/triceps, then do back tomorrow. We'll see.
Belinda - hope you had fun with PH. That's one of my favorites for some reason. Maybe b/c it was my first weight workout DVD of Cathe's.
Debbie - sounds like you had a good workout this morning. Glad your back is better. Did you get my email address?

Heather - Yes, I did get your email address. Our internet was down this weekend so I didn't get a chance to send you anything. I will try to send a few out tomorrow morning to you. If you have any questions about them, just pm me.
Belinda - Totally understandable. This is such a crazy time for everyone! Have a great time at your Christmas party!
Roxie - Nice job on the pushups and crunches! How long are you going to do this? Why are you doing this? I give you a lot of credit, I don't think I'd want to do crunches like that!!!

Heather - Not at all, don't be silly!!!
Roxie - LOL! I know what you mean. I wouldn't want to do all those either. Actually, I don't see the point. Maybe with the pushups, but not with the crunches. Let me know if you notice any difference in your abs after this rotation.
Roxie 1965
Cathlete
Debbie-actually I have seen a difference in my abs just need some more work in the lower but I look smaller and my pants fit looser.

Hi girls!
Wow - everyone has been busy!
Roxie - way awesome with the push ups! That's great! And good job with the ab work - you must be tickled to be seeing some results with that.
Belinda - another party?!? 'Tis the season, eh? Great job with PH! Enjoy yourself tonight..
Debbie - I'm sorry your back is tweaking on you. How did your blood tests go? I don't remember you saying what they were for, so I just hope all is well. Take care!
Heather - so how are you liking taking your weight work to the gym? And spin is still going well? Cool!
Nora - great workout! I got the CTX series when they were Cathe's weekly special and they are great! Short and sweet for cardio, huh? Glad you enjoyed that.
Yesterday I did KCM Cardio Kick Stepboxing again before I send it back. I really like this workout. My other KCM workout got sent back before I even did it, so I had to put it back in my queue - argh!
Today I did disc 27 - the first bi/tri/sh workout in Meso 3. These are looonngg workouts with those long rests. I was in a hurry this morning and fast forwarded where I could - which wasn't a lot because of all of the weight changes. Anyway, it was a great workout. Looking forward to getting Shock Cardio...
Have a great night, all.
Where's Chris?.....
