So I'm much better, finally. Pain from 0 to 10 is about a 1 right now. I only feel it when I sit in one position for a long period of time. My plan for this week is no workout today, I have to take my mom to the eye doctor and then she has to get her tags for her car (if the doctor says it's ok for her to keep driving). Tomorrow I will do cardio, Wednesday I will work chest, shoulders and triceps, Thursday will be cardio and Friday will be legs. I won't work back this week at all. Hopefully this will be ok. I'll watch the weights and not go too high.

This morning I did P90X2 PAP Legs 61 min, 332 calories. I followed this with the scheduled Chest Back and Balance skipping the warm up, 47 min, 220 calories. Total time was 1 hr 47 min, calories burned was 552. I think chest back and balance are my least favorite of this set. I modified and my neck is sore and stiff after this workout. This was the second week. I had planned on doing 3 weeks of each phase then moving to The Beast workouts program. I am sort of rethinking the 3 weeks or changing it up some. I just can't take the pain and headaches.
P90X2 PAP legs

step up convict 8 reps 15# dumbbells (this is step up knee raise down to a lunge trying to come up on toe with the knee raise)

Tony triangle (lie on side toe pointed inward and move leg down and back then up to center then down to front)

12# dumbbeklk 8 reps right then 8 reps left(this is a 1 leg squat, reach out with weight, back up to standing weight in)
split squat jump 6 reps
monster slalom 30 seconds as many reps as you can (sort of ski jump side to side both feet) 70, 75, 80,80
side bridge leg lift held for time My left side is terrible on these and Tony has you point your raise leg foot downwards toward the floot.
Chest Back and Balance
pull up X 6 assisted pull ups and 6 pulldowns w/ 180# on Bowflex
plyo stability ball push up 26 reps
core crunch chin up (I followed the guy with the tubing heavy silver 12 reps
push up side arm balance with two med balls 16 reps alt sides
lever 13 with heavy tubing
4 ball push ups I followed the bodifier keeping one foot off the floor 30 reps

the impossible possible using a stability for feet and med ball for push ups 20 reps
L pull up I used the Bowflex 180 lb for wide pulls
3 ball plyo push ups (kills my wrists) 16 plyo push ups no ball
vaulter pull up switch grip every 2 reps I used heavy silver tubing 18 reps
elevated stability ball push up using bench and ball 30 reps

Debbie, it is probably a good move to have another rest day.

So I was fine when I got up this morning. No pain. I was sitting on the couch and I stretch a little and now that damn muscle that goes down the length of my left side between my shoulder blade and spine feels all twisted again.
I did cardio anyways. I feel like such a slug lately. I chose Cardio Coach #3 and had a fairly decent workout.
CARDIO STATS:
40 minutes total
6 minutes below zone
18 minutes in zone
17 minutes above zone
324 calories burned
2 miles traveled
I foam rolled and will ice here shortly. I hope this goes away. Tomorrows workout will happen depending on how this feels. Getting really sick of this crap.

This morning was supposed to be Plyocide but since I did the PAP Legs I decided to skip it. Besides I got to bed at 1 a.m. and up at 5:30 so my energy was a bit low. I finally decided to do Amy's Kettlebell Squared Quick Power 38 min, 238 calories. I just uesed 15# kettlebells for the kettlebell segments. I followed this with THe Addiction workout #5 left side out, 27 min, 236 calories. I finished with Ab Ripper X2 16 min, 66 calories. I didn't really want to do all of Addiction because my youngest granddaughter was downstairs by herself and her brother was outside mowing. There is no w/up or stretch on the Addiction workouts so they are best done after a workout. Total time was 81 min and calories burned was 540. I may decide to do plyocide on another day this week.

Hi all. No workout today. Yesterday by the end of the day my pain was back up to about an 8-9. Now it's probably at a 7-8. I think I need to just sleep for a week straight, no move and then maybe this stupid problem will heal. I've researched and really can't find anything that may help me.

Today I did P90X2 Shoulders and arms 53 min, 200 calories. I then did the other half of the Addiction workout that I did yesterday. So, disc 5 right side out with the cooldown and stretch 37 min, Max hr 158, 277 calories. Total time was 90 min and calories burned 477.
P90X2 went like this: All 3 rounds are the same balancing on 1 leg or a stability ball for most of it.

Debbie, I am sorry that you are still dealing with that. For me it seems when I do nothing I get stiffer and have more aches and pains.

This morning I caught up on my P90X2 workouts. I did Plyocide, 332 calories, max hr 161. I then did Ab Ripper X2 16 min, 61 calories. I finished off with Yoga X 2 66 min. Total workout time was 2 hr 16 min, and calories burned was 609. Tomorrow is P90X2 Base and back then I will be finished with week 2 of the strength phase. My original goal was to do the 3 weeks of each phase with recovery days when needed. I will see how I feel. I wrote down the exercises for PAP upper. I was surprised that the workout is pretty short. I am not that wild about base and back. It is pull ups and chin ups alternated with plyo. I guess really I only like the shoulders and arms workout from this phase.

Hi everyone. Feeling a bit better but it's still there. I've been stretching and trying to have good posture and that has made a good difference. My posture is horrible when I'm in pain. I've been stretching and that helps too, but still, no workouts. I'm having a hard time turning my head from left to right and my traps feel so inflamed. It is better today, but I'm laying off the workouts for a while.

i am here, been so busy my dad has been in the hospital for over 3 weeks now, colon surgery and then an infection set in, thankfully, he is now on the acute rehab floor, so we all are starting to calm down. My mom is 72, dad 77 and although she is capable of driving her head just has not been in the game but hopefully within the week he will be home. So, today I did Turbo Fire I did 30Hiit and 25 Hiit, still deciding on P90X2, should I or not, Diane Sue what do you think

Roselyn, I am sorry to hear that you had that going on. My Dad is 84 and I lost my Mom quite a few years ago. His health is not so well right now. It is worrisome. I will keep your parents in my prayers. As far as P90X2, I think it is a good program. But, I think it depends on what you want from it. It is different from other programs. I believe it is geared more for sports performance and doubt if someone was looking to gain much muscle mass that it would not happen. My weight has been down with it though and bodyfat is a little lower. I like all of the balance work. It has been heavy on pull ups, chin ups and pull ups. So, I guess it is whatever you are wanting to gain. I just got The Beast workouts for Mass. I will start those when I finish with these. May play with parts of them here and there.
