P90X - Day 43
Week 7, Day 1
Workout:
Core Synergistics
63 min.
burned 436 cal.
HR max: 158
HR ave: 124
FIVE days in a row! Woohoo! That may be a record for me. Seriously.
My whole body is pretty sore from the last few days of workouts. I think I can feel soreness all the way from my shoulders down to the tops of my feet (thanks, sneaky lunges!). So, that made this Core Synergistics workout difficult to complete. But, I did the best that I could ... after all, that is TH's motto: "Do your best, and forget the rest." (I love that about him!!)
Core Synergistics:
Stacked Foot/Staggered Hands Push-Up: 5-5-5-5 (knees down on last 2 sets)
Banana Roll: done
Leaning Crescent Lunges: 5#, 24
Squat Run: 5#, done
Sphinx Push-Up: 16 (knees)
Bow to Boat: done
Low Lateral Skaters: done (with toe tap)
Lunge & Reach: 5# (these were difficult, my triceps & deltoids are sore, just thinking about using them!)
Prison Cell Push-Ups: 3
Side Hip Raise: 10 each side (it took everything in me to milk out all 10)
Squat X-Press: 30 (no weight)
Plank to Chaturanga Run: done (resting during 2 10 second intervals)
Walking Push-Ups: done
Superman Banana: done
Lunge Kickback Curl Press: 5#, 20 reps (I noticed that I was so focused on the arm movement, I sometimes forgot to stay in a deep lunge ... I'll need to work on that.)
Towel Hopping: done
Reach High & Under Push-Ups: 5 (left arm shook ... on the 6th one, left arm didn't hold me up)
Steam Engine: done
Dreya Roll: 2 (this was a pretty pathetic attempt ... my core, butt, & arms all hurt, so this was very difficult)
Plank to Chaturanga Iso: not done (I attempted ... got the first plank done, tried a not-very-low chaturanga & then collapsed to the floor)
Halfback: done
Table Dip Leg Raise: not done (my triceps wouldn't let me go into table)
I honestly don't know if my upper body is going to be ready for the Thursday Chest, Shoulders & Triceps! Other than the difficulty of taking stairs, getting out of my car, or out of my recliner, it does feel good to have sore muscles. To know I've really worked hard, and I'm rebuilding my body!
I go back to work tomorrow, and work for the next 4 nights. It's definitely going to be a challenge to get those workouts in on those days. But, I've turned over a new leaf, and I want to change it up. Trying to wake up early didn't work ... rarely was I able to get a workout in. So, I'm going to plan on doing the workouts when I get home. No matter how tired I am, I will always drag my butt out of bed for work. Not so, for the "extra" things.
