Today was Basketball, 5k and Back & Biceps followed by Ab Ripper X. (Take a look at blogs from March 2009 for complete P90X, P90X+ and 1-on-1 workout overviews)
Time for catch up. I was tied up all weekend and was unable to post a blog.
Friday
A good solid 2 hours of basketball. I even saw a glimpse of my jump shot coming back. I mostly stuck with the hustle, rebounding and defense game. Many a calorie burnt…
Saturday
Today is my usual X Stretch day, but I had a 5k scheduled with my daughter. Her first!!! I couldn’t imagine running 3 miles at seven years old. She did great. I couldn’t be more proud of her. She said she wants to do this race every year. Good experience = good outcome.
Sunday
My first Back and Biceps workout in a long time. This was rough. 2 sets of back followed by 2 sets of bi’s. 24 sets total in about 40 minutes, minus the warm-up and cool down. I started off strond and ended strong. I pushed myself without going overboard. I knew it was going to be a good day when I pumped out 14 wide grip pull-ups right out of the box. I imagined things would slow down as the workout progressed, but never did. I was able to stick with consistent weight and consistent reps.
I am really paying close attention to my diet. I want to drop another 2 pounds by the end of this week.

Recovery Week Day 5
Today was 1-on-1 Patience Yoga. (Take a look at blogs from March 2009 for complete P90X, P90X+ and 1-on-1 workout overviews)
This was a new workout for me. I had never done it in this past and can’t remember the last time I did a straight shoulder workout. I figured it would fit perfect into my recovery week. That it did. My only issue was that I had a hard time going light. There were a total of 18 sets. It is a repeat workout so there are only 9 different exercises. Total time was about 40 minutes. Overall it was a good workout and is a nice addition to the recovery week. Some of the exercises included in the workout are pike’s press, upright row, shoulder press and straight arm flys. It is definitely tough, especially when you get to multiple sets of pike presses.
Tomorrow is basketball.

Recovery Week Day 4
Today was 1-on-1 Yoga and ½ mile swim. (Take a look at blogs from March 2009 for complete P90X, P90X+ and 1-on-1 workout overviews)
Another double dip today.
Yoga in the morning was tough. I was extremely tight. I wasn’t even close to touching my toes when I started. When I was finished, I was still pretty tight. I am loving the new 1-on-1 yoga workout. It is a great combination of vinyasa’s and stretching. On my next recovery week, I may do the 90 minute P90X version. I am not sure if it is just because I am doing the workout in the morning, but I feel like I should be a little more flexible than I am at this point.
My swim was great, but again my arms burned out pretty quick. I will need to get use to combining the swim and P90X again. Come to think of it, I never really got use to it the first few times around. I just hope I am not doing more bad than good.

Recovery Week Day 3
Today was One-on-One Plyo Legs. (Take a look at blogs from March 2009 for complete P90X, P90X+ and 1-on-1 workout overviews)
Today was a great day to work the legs and give my upper body a break. No weights used during this workout. Just lots of reps. 1-on-1 plyo legs is tough and considering I have not done it in a while, it was extra tough. My heart rate was up there on a few moves. This workout is a cross between Plyo X and Legs & Back, minus the weights. This was also the first time I did some plyo moves at the gym. I felt like I was being stared at a little. I got this one in about 45 minutes. Again, no abs today.
Swim and yoga tomorrow…

Recovery Week Day 2
Today was 1-on-1 Just Arms. (Take a look at blogs from March 2009 for complete P90X, P90X+ and 1-on-1 workout overviews)
It was just a straight arm workout today. Weightlifting 101. They only muscles worked were bi’s, tri’s and forearms. My intention was to take it easy considering it was my recovery week. That didn’t last but one set. I blasted them. I went as heavy as I could. Towards the end I was taking a few mid set breaks. It didn’t matter. I was in the mood to work hard. When I finished, I almost had to give myself a pat on the back for pushing it. I need to take it back a bit though. I want to really give my muscles a chance to recoup from my previous weeks of work.

Recovery Week Day 1
Today was a 5mile run and Core Synergistics. (Take a look at blogs from March 2009 for complete P90X, P90X+ and 1-on-1 workout overviews)
Ah…the start of the recovery week.
I didn’t know how today was going to go. Last night was my daughter’s birthday party/sleepover. 10 girls ages 7 and under. The morning was a crap shoot.
Today was a double and I was looking forward to my afternoon workout. I love Core Synergistics. First on tap was my run.
I kept it indoors on the treadmill today. It was a little cold outside and I was not in the mood to deal with the elements. The run felt really good. I kept a nice 7:40 pace. I was in a smooth rhythm from the start and never lost it.
In the afternoon came one of my favorites. I love this core workout. It hits every muscle group. I started off strong and then by exercise 5, I remembered how tough it was. By the time I got to ‘plank to chatarunga run’, I was dripping. I was burning a ton of calories. When I finally finished, the stretch at the end was perfect. Just what I needed.
Tomorrow is 1-on-1 Just Arms.

L&B
Today was Legs and Back with Ab Ripper X. (Take a look at blogs from March 2009 for complete P90X, P90X+ and 1-on-1 workout overviews)
I went into today with the goal of breaking the 100 mark in pull-ups. As soon as I started, I knew I had a shot. I was feeling very strong. My first set of wide grips, I pumped out 14 no problem. My legs were also feeling good. Next L&B workout, I will increase the weight by lbs.
I had no issues what so ever during the workout. When all was said and done, I had 110 pull-ups underneath my belt and felt I probably could have went a few higher.
Tomorrow is a stretch day.
