Classic/ Week 2/ Day 3/ Shoulders & Arms, ARX (+first 26mins of Cardio Fusion: BM2 warm up, BM2 bonus cardio, LIC bonus cardio).
Good morning,
Ahhhhhhh. Very nice workout today. I went up a bit on most of the weights, and am almost where I was when I finished Round 1. ARX always feels easiest after SA, too, maybe because my hip flexors and core aren't burnt out from push/pull ups, or any leg work? The doms from CB is 30% what it was last week. Thank heavens. Last week was tough. How are the rest of you doing?
Tracy....Wordless Wednesday, huh? Argh. I completely understand your anger about the credit card. That would drive me insane, too. Yup, I like the BC cardio very much. I also really enjoy the Drill Max cardio, so perhaps that's just my kind of thing. Doing the KB and BC cardio together felt like a really fun, medium-high intensity cardio workout.
Lea....Ach, that kid-in-the-bed situation can be tough to change. Some kids just seem to really want another warm body when they sleep, while others don't. I had my toddler in bed with us last week when she had a fever and bad cough, and she woke up at 5am, demanding to be brought back to her own bed. And DH wasn't even snoring!
Traci....Thanks for the Tony blog update. I'll check them out when I'm done here. Oh good gravy! Wendell is damned if he doesn't, and damned if he does! I hope you all make peace soon...you know he's only doing this for the make-up whoopie
You need 3 HOURS to get your hair done?? I won't even ask; you live in Texas, the Big Hair State. No home phone service? Do you have a cell phone for all those clients who are trying to reach you?
Carol....I'm with you on wishing those germs would flee. Uh, I don't think I *ever* used the word "fun" to describe PlyoX! If I did, it was because someone temporarily overtook my keyboard. I do not consider that workout fun. If I want fun, I'll put in Cathe's new step workouts, or some Christi Taylor. I subbed because I get bored of any cardio workout that I have to do more than once a month. I did manage to do it every week in Round One, but I still shudder when I think of it. Shoulders and Arms is a great workout. Have fun today!!
Teddygirl....I thought the same thing as Traci when I read your post: Sabatogue!!! Get Teddy on the Tony Train with you, and make sure he knows which days you have time to play, and which days you have to workout. Or better yet, do the P90X workouts in the morning, and leave your optional add-ons for the evenings. Traci's right that the workouts are pretty short, especially when you take off the warm up. Chest & Back, no warm up, is 44mins. Shoulders & Arms, no warm up, is 50mins. Legs & Back, no warm up, is 50mins. ARX, once Tony stops yakking, is 14mins.
Amy....Hmmmm, another good review of Amy's step workout. My credit card is starting to glow....
Jeanette....Wednesday is the day that all the rotations sync up, so I finally feel like I worked out along with the rest of you. Have fun with ARX tonight. I wasn't intending to do it 3x a week this round, but surprisingly have found it not so bad. I'm challenging myself to be able to do uber-advanced version of all the exercises by the end of this round: hands off the ground, legs crossed, etc. LMAO about the sweet potato casserole hair growing secret! You can rationalize anything, can't you? Yes, you lucky girl, you get to avoid PlyoX altogether!! I think you should sub it in for CardioX once a month
I'll mention the paint to Peter. I'll bet he knows how it works. Will report back. I will also look up which CIA workout I have with Christi; I don't remember. It has a hi/lo workout, and a step workout.
Nicole....I'm really enjoying Round 2, thank you for asking. The kids are doing well, too. The toddler seems to have finally gotten past her germs, and is eating and drinking again. We're off to the grocery store this morning ;( Do you take your kids grocery shopping with you?
Debra....My word, you were some productive yesterday, even managing to find time to play with your Meez. I hope you plan to take the rest of the week off! Yes, I like leg work. I think I developed a taste for masochistic lower body work after doing a few Cathe rotations, a few years ago. She is merciless with the lower body ("I know you're tired, but jump higher!"). There isn't much happening with the dissertation right now, but I plan to change that really soon. I have finally found someone who might be able to babysit the toddler a few mornings a week, while I work. If you open and heat a can of Campbell's Chunky for CB, he'd better just smile and nod, smile and nod.
It's grocery shopping day, so I'd better hit the showers and get DD and I bundled up in our 6 layers of snow gear.
TTFN,
Sandra
