I thought that I would get this started. I am still working on my plans for the week. Today I will do P90X2 Total Body 63 min, then P90X2 Ab Ripper X2 16 min. I will finish off with Cathe's To the Max 30/20 Hiit only timesaver.
I am unsure on some of the workouts. I need to do todays so I can see how much lower body work I will be getting in then I will go from there. I have a tentative plan for P90X2 workouts but not the rest yet.

Janie, I often wonder why I eat those things that I know are going to make me feel lousy later. Hawaii is a great gift and real motivation to stay on track for sure :) We have plans to go to my husband's class reunion which is a cruise in August. Just a short 3 day cruise but it should be fun.

Roselyn, here is a rundown as best as I can remember it from P90X2 balance and power

w/up is same as most of the others with foam roller and stabilty ball so I won't post that.
1Sphinx to plank plyo bounce (stability ball done on elbows to bounce up onto hands and back to sphinx)
2 1-leg plyo squat reach ( jump to side squat and reach across to opposite foot all on 1 leg)
3 russian twist (with med ball between knees and holding a dumbbell knees move from side to side while doing the russian twist)
4Sphinx to plank roll up(done with feet on the stability ball starting in sphinx moving to plank the roll the ball in)
5 4 direction one leg squat hop ( hop forward squat and reach on one leg then to the side, then back, then other side) This is done twice then switch legs
6 forearm alternating side plank on the stability ball(pretty much as it sounds)
7Decline sphinx plank press on stability ball(sphinnx to pressing up into a plank
8 weighted katherine( lunge jump with dumbbells)

14 warrior row press right
15 split lunge left one foot is on ball while balancing and you do a lunge
16 split lunge right
17 crawly crab press ( on stability ball you crawl feet to the side then press up on elbow reaching up with other arm and you can hold a dumbbell) alternating sides as you crawl feet back and forth
18 lateral plyo push up alternating(you do an off set push up with one hand on a med ball then jump over and do it on the opposite side)
19 lunge kneel raise left( starting with one knee on the floor in lunge position you push up to standing and raise knee as you do an overhead press with dumbbells)
20 lunge kneel press on right side

My workout is done. I started with P90X2 Total Body, 63 min, 305 calories. Ifollowed with ab ripper x2 16 min, 70 calories. I then did the To the Max 30/20 Hiit mix 26 min, 211 calories and added the upper body emphasis core from to the max, 7 min, 45 calories. Total time was 1 hr 49 min and calories burned 631. I have to get out and run errands and catch up my house cleaning since I spent the last 5 days hanging out with my husband and relaxing:D
 
I finally worked up my rotation for this week. I put in some of Jari Love's Workout that I purchased recently. I have not done it yet. So that should be interesting with her high rep stuff and P90X2. Also on the yoga I did not specify because right now I can't remember which one I sent to Cathe's for replacement. It has been awhile and I keep expecting one back any day.

Just a quick update on my mom. She was released on Saturday, not even 24 hours after her surgery. I really wanted them to hold her one more day but they said she was good to go. Other than the pain from the incision, she has been really good. I've been staying with her 24/7 until last night, then she kicked me out. LOL! She loves her me time. I'm heading over there in a few to see how she is and to make sure she is behaving herself. She isn't supposed to be lifting anything, or twisting or bending. I told her I'd do her laundry and whatever else she needed done.

Thanks again for the prayers, everyone! :)
 
Debbie, that is good news :D I am glad that you were able to be there with her.
 
My workout is done. It got kind of lengthy though. I was trying to get the calorie burn numbers right and despite messing with my monitor it was not giving me the normal readings. Also when I paused it a couple of times it just turned itself off. The strap is new and it has not been that many months since the battery was changed. So here is how it went Les Mills Combat 60 live which is generally around 400 calories It was not so I repeated some of it and got it up to 411. At the start I noticed my Hr was not even getting much over a 100 and I kept trying to adjust. Then I took it off and cleaned it at 18 minutes in. It was better but still off. Then when I was done with that I cleaned the strap rewet it with aloe vera and started Hard Strikes Heavybag tabatas, this was somewhat better but still off by about 20 calories for me at 81. I then did Jari's Extremely Ripped and chiseled just the upper no abs or anything else, 27 min, 142 calories. I was disappointed in this. I need to look at the lower body because I may want to do Cathe's High Reps or something else tomorrow. I finished with Cathe's Yoga relax mix 1 28 min and again got a low reading at 53. I generally get about 80 with that one and Cathe has it at 77 on the workout manager. I put each workout in my fitness pal and average out my calories a few times so I am usually withing 10 calories one way or the other for specific workouts. Oh well, Just frustrated. I worked out for 2 hr and 14 minutes and calories burned was 687.
 
I'm at our beach house this week and walked an hour on it with my dog named Rolly this afternoon.

WD, Oooo the class reunion sounds like so much fun! Great job on your workout plan doing P90X2 TB with ab ripper x2 also To The Max 30/20 hiit mix with the added upper body emphasis core from TTM.

WD, Love your workout plan with Jari Love and P90X2 and yoga.

Deb, So glad your mom is at home and healing just fine. That must be such a relief. If she kicked you out, then she must be feeling much better. You are such a good daughter.

WD, To me monitors are such a pain. Glad to see you had a fantastic workout despite the monitor readings.

Take care ladies,

Janie
 
Today's workout went much better. I did P90X 2 Plyocide, 54 min, 364 calories. I then did Jari Love's Extremely Ripped and Chiseled Lower body with w/up and stretch 45 minutes, 252 calories. Total time was 99 minutes and calories burned 615. Jari's was interesting. I did not care for it much. Why it says lower body and it has the back and chest on it too is beyond me. I am working chest in my P90X2 workout tomorrow. It is chest, shoulders, and triceps. This should be interesting after a whole bunch of decline push ups and several minutes of nonstop bench presses including pistons.

Janie, I bet it is so relaxing at your beach house. Walking the beach sounds fantastic. Do you work on your artwork while you are there? When we had our fifth wheel and would travel to RV parks I took my drawing stuff with me. It was relaxing.
 
Today was an hour and 20 min. with Rolly of brisk walking and walking on the beach. Found two walking sticks. I think I must have done something to my back a couple of weeks ago. It's so sore and have to take Alieve (MS) to help with the pain.


WD, Great job on P90X2 Plyocide, Jari Love's Extremely Ripped and Chiseled Lower body with w/up and stretch Not sure I'm a fan of Jari's. I've tried a couple of her workouts, and seem to be not what is advertised. Yes, I just love the beach, seems all my woos disappear. I haven't done any art on the beach, but the weather isn't that good yet anyway. Maybe will give it a try once the weather is better. Sounds heavenly to me.

Roselyn, Great job on Insanity Plyo and XTrain cardio leg blast all strength.

Take care,

Janie

Roselyn, nice mix today. :D

Janie, a llong walk on the beach with Rolly sounds like plenty. I hope your back gets to feeling better. I does not take much to tweak a muscle and cause discomfore.
 
Today I did P90X2 Chest, shoulders, and triceps, 49 min, 288 calories. I also did Ab Ripper X2 which was on this dvd 17 min, 80 calories. I did X train 100 rep challenge triceps 6 min, 22 calories. I finished off with To the Max Less Impact premix 38 min, 312 calories. I forgot that this had the core with upper body emphasis so I had more core topping all of the balancing and core In P90X 2 :) Total time spent was 1 hr 50 min and calories burned 702.
 
Today's workout was X train cardio legs cardio premix, 33 min, 245 calories. I then did X train legs floor using 3# ankle weights and adding a 5# dummbell when Cathe used a dumbbell, 12 min, 40 calories. I finished with P90X2 yoga, 66 min, 222 calories. Total time was 1 hr 51 min and calories burned 507. I think I may add the delt bonus to P90X2 V sculpt tomorrw and the X train ride premix. I need to go run errands so I can plant roses and call a plumber out. I really was ready to fall asleep during shavasana on the yoga.
 
Xtrain cardio legs premix, floor work with ankle weights, finished with P90X yoga (not 2 the first P90X) I did do the delt bonus. Thanks for another great w/out Diane Sue.
 
Home from the beach. No workout today.

Diane, Great job on your 1 hour and 51 min. workouts.

Roselyn, Great job on XTrain cardio legs premix, floor work and the ankle weights. Congrats on finishing with P90X yoga.

Take care,

Janie
 
Today I did P90X2 V Sculpt (back and biceps) 54 min, 278 calories. I then did X train delt bonus 13 min, 62 calories. I finished off with X Train Ride Premix 4, 31 min, 254 calories. I went 8.9 miles. This was a fun workout. I realized today I had not even opened it yet :)
