Working Out Week 8 of 2014

6 Comments

This is the end of week 8 of 2014 and week 7 of the P90X3 program for me.  I am now more than halfway through the 90 days of workouts.  It has really gone by pretty fast.

This past week was the same workout schedule as the past 2 weeks.  I had to go a little easy at the beginning of this past week since my left knee started bothering me on Sunday.  I think I twisted it somehow during the CVX workout last Saturday.  Thankfully it feels better today.  I did CVX this morning but I did not push quite as hard on some of the pivot and twisting moves while using the weight.

On Tuesday was the Warrior workout.  I like this one – not as well as some of the others but it is an awesome total body workout.  I had to be careful with some parts of it and the jumping since my knee was really feeling it that day.

Wednesday was Yoga day and I was really looking forward to that workout.  I thought it would help my knee feel better and I believe it did.  This gave it a break from the high intensity and provided some extra stretching.  I love yoga anyhow and this yoga workout has quickly become one of my favorite yoga workouts.  I think my cat really likes it too because he was around for most of this session.

I finally got around to embroidering a new workout T-shirt.  In some of the workouts Tony mentions that “Aging is for Idiots”  I decided I wanted that on a workout shirt.  I also wanted to put something on the back so I embroidered “Stay Fit    Stay Young” across the back.  Below is me wearing the shirt after the MMX workout on Thursday – the dark dots are sweat on the shirt.

This week will be week 8 of P90X3.  It is the transition week so not quite as intense as the past 3 weeks – it still is not easy but I really enjoy doing Isometrixs (one of my favorites), Dynamix and the Pilates workouts.  We will still do Yoga, too.

I will also be starting in a new fitness group this week with my husbands work.  It is called the Power of Vitality challenge.  I am still in my facebook fitness group, too.  I think being in a group really motivates you to exercise and stay accountable.

I hope everyone had a great week of working out.  Click on Leave a Reply and let me know what workouts you are currently doing and how they are going.

Have a great weekend!

Workout – Week 3 Focus T25 Beta Round

8 Comments

The third week of Beta round is complete!  I am really starting to notice things changing after this week.  My core and lower abs seem much tighter than they were just a week ago.  My stamina during the workouts has also greatly improved since I started the program 11 weeks ago.

I do not own a scale so I do not know how much weight I have lost since starting T25.  I do know my clothes are fitting differently – loose in the waist and hip area.  I have lost approximately 5 3/4 inches over all.   The most significant loss has been in the hip area for a total of 2 1/2 inches.  That is followed by the waist where I have lost 1 1/2 inches.   I have lost the least amount of inches in the arms and thighs but I didn’t feel like those two areas were that critical to me.  I am very pleased so far with my results.

The schedule for the past week was:

-Core Cardio    -Upper Focus    -Speed 2.0    -Rip’t Circuit    -Dynamic Core & Speed 2.0 on Friday

Below are some of the photos from this past week.   The one photo is of the shirt I bought at ShaunTervention last weekend and the other shirt photo is of one I embroidered titled NO EXCUSES.

On Friday, the double workout day, the schedule was for Speed 2.0 + Dynamic Core.  The workout set came with a bonus dvd called Core Speed.  It tells you that you can replace Speed 2.0 with Core Speed so that is what I did this past Friday since I had just done Speed 2.0 on Wednesday.  I had already done Core Speed a few times during the Alpha round as an extra Saturday workout but had not done it in over 3 weeks.  I really like Core Speed – I think better than Speed 2.0.  Both are very fast paced but I like the moves better in Core Speed.

I also bought a new yoga book this past week and have stated doing some of the routines from the book in the evening or on the weekend days.  I love T25 for the cardio and sculpting but my body is telling me I need more flexibility and stretching – I also think I have been missing my yoga!  I will plan to review the yoga book and my progress with it after I have used it some more.

I hope everyone had a great week with their workouts.  I will post again next week after week 4 of T25 Beta is complete.

Have a great weekend!  photo dbaf2cd4-dd2b-49d6-8838-f9aff3fe3cbb_zpsca4b926e.jpg
