Doh! I just realized I am off a day on my posts...

I missed a post for a work out WAY back when on day 18 or 19...I did a Legs and Back work out and didn't blog it. So I'm actually on Day 28 right now and not Day 27...I'll adjust on my future posts...Argh!

Day 27 - Yoga X

Wow...first of all I had no desire to work out tonight...aside from the desire to not let myself down. It was late...I'd had a long day...we had a disappointing loss in our soccer game even though EVERYONE played their best and did a great job. We still fell just one goal short...My buddy Jay did an amazing job in goal considering the pressure he faced and I was proud of how our team played, but you guys (if there really even is anyone reading this) don't come here to read about soccer.

So Yoga X...I was already very stiff and sore and tired from our soccer game and doing a few chores at one of the rent houses...but I forced myself to do it tonight and I'm glad I did. My form wasn't as good as I believe it has been in the past, but a lot of that has to do with one of my hips being a bit sore and I think I've got a slight strain in one of my hamstrings...anyway...I started with a shirt on and it came off almost immediately...this work out is just so crazy intense AND you're hardly even doing anything! I can't believe how fit you've gotta be to really excel at Yoga...I've really been missing out all these years by not doing it until now!


Not the most perfect of poses...but, I'm still doing it!

Again...my form isn't flawless, but I'm busting my hump doing the best I can...what are you doing?

Last pic...form isn't prefect (again), but I'm glad I do what I can...I do the BEST I can each and every time I Bring It!

Day 26 - Core Synergistics

Today was supposed to be Yoga X, but if you've been following along you'd know that I didn't get to work out yesterday so I guess that makes yesterday my "rest" day. Although as hard as my beautiful wife and I worked at one of the rent houses...it's hard to call that a rest day. In any event, I did Core Synergistics tonight. I really do enjoy this work out, but it is the first work out in a while that I'm actually having a hard time keeping up and not able to do everything w/o stopping. I didn't stop MUCH, but I did have to pause a couple of times during a couple of the moves. I really like the different styles of pushups and look forward to the next time I'll get to do this routine...which won't be until week 8. I'm hopeful that by that time I won't have any trouble AT ALL.

No pics tonight...

Day 25 - Yoga (oops!)

I'm actually not 100% sure that I'm supposed to have done Yoga X today or not....more of the same from yesterday. My wonderful wife and I worked until after 11pm over at the rent house again....we came home and had dinner...watched a little TV...and now I'm going to bed. I'll have to push Yoga X and Core Synergistics into my "rest day" on Sunday.

Day 24 - X Stretch

Alright well...I only did half the work out tonight. My hard working wife and I were busy cleaning up one of our rent houses and getting it ready for the next folks to move in...we didn't get finished up until after midnight I think. Anyway...I had to go back to work that night and so I only did the upper body portion of the stretches.

No pics...

Day 23 - Kenpo X

I had a soccer game tonight and I followed that up with Kenpo X. My body was not pleased with the double cardio...I was really stiff after my soccer game and it was hard to really push myself during the kicks required for Kenpo X. I felt like I did fine, but I wasn't thrilled about how I was feeling...just sore during...

My soccer game was great...I got a hat trick and my buddy Jay (the goalie) got a shut out. It was a lot of fun!

No pics again - my amazing wife did Kenpo X with Jay and I.

Day 22 - Yoga X

I kicked it up to another level tonight on Yoga X. I was doing 2-5 pushups on all the movements and I could really tell the difference at by the end of the 40 minutes of pain! :) The thing I love most about Yoga X is the gradual improvement I see in myself every time I do it. I'm still no where near close to being able to do the crane...but one day!

No pics...

But, I did post my video to Break.com - http://www.break.com/usercontent/2009/5/richards-p90x-progress-731174.html
