P90X - Day 55
Week 8, Day 6
(extra phase 2 week)
HRM still hasn't gotten fixed. Guess I'm the one that's supposed to do that. It's not going to fix itself, I suppose. Went online to the polar website to see what size battery I needed to buy. While online, I found that they tell you it must be sent in to a polar authorized service place. Great. Another couple weeks, at least, without my HRM?!
Of course, I'm thinking, how hard can it be. You take the screws off, change the battery, put the screws back in ... and you're back in business. Except ... well, I've never successfully managed to change a watch battery ... the digital watches never seem to work afterwards.
OK, fine. I guess I have to send it in. Then, I read ... if your watch is no longer covered by the warranty, or if your watch doesn't need to be waterproof, you may take it to a jeweler to have the battery changed. I've definitely had this HRM for more than 2 years (the warranty is 2 years) ... and I don't swim with it ... so, I guess I can take it to the jewelers for less money, and time than mailing it in!
Workout:
Chest, Shoulders & Triceps
64 min.
After all that time online, before the workout, you'd think I would have skipped it altogether! But, no ... like I said yesterday ... no excuses for a missed workout accepted today!
Because I'm at the end of Phase 2, and I missed the strength training parts of the week, I decided to do CST instead of KenpoX. Actually, there was a brief point in time, before I started the workout, that I thought I might do both.
Right.
My plan is to do Legs & Back tomorrow, with Ab Ripper X. And maybe CardioX. So, I didn't do Ab Ripper X today (shouldn't do ARX 2 days in a row).
Today, I increased the weights from 5 lbs. to 10 lbs. on 4 of the exercises. So there's about a half-and-half mix of 5s and 10s now.
Chest, Shoulders & Triceps workout:
Slow-motion 3-in-1 Push-ups: 4-4-4 + 5 bonus (2 reg., others on my knees)
In & Out Shoulder Flys: 16 reps, 5# (next time I'll increase this weight)
Chair Dips: 8
Plange Push-ups: 7 (2 reg., others on my knees)
Pike Presses: 8
Side Tri-Rises: 11-11 (small increase here)
Floor Flys: 8
Scarecrows: 14 reps, 5# (slight increase in reps)
Overhead Tricep Extensions: 13 reps, 5#
Two-twitch Speed Push-ups: 4-3-1 (5 reg., others on my knees)
Y-presses: 15 reps, 5# (next time I'll increase this weight)
Lying Tricep Extensions: 7 reps, 10# (pushed through for 1 more)
Side-to-side Push-ups: 10 (2 reg., others on my knees)
Pour Flys: 13 reps, 5#
Side-leaning Tricep Extensions: 6 reps, 10# (last 1 was difficult)
One-arm Push-ups: 6 (all on my knees ... left didn't go as far down so I wouldn't fall on my face)
Weighted Circles: 10 reps, 5# x2 directions; 10 reps, 5# x2 directions
Throw the Bomb: 10 reps, 10# (left was much more difficult than right)
Clap or Plyo Push-ups: (clap) 7 (all on my knees)
Slo-mo Throws: 10 reps, 5#
Front-to-back Tricep Extensions: 8 reps, 10# (left definitely harder ... needed slight assist to finish)
One-arm Balance Push-ups: 3 (left doesn't hold me up very well)
Fly-row Presses: 9 reps, 5#
Dumbbell Cross-body Blows: 20 each side, 10#
My arms were shaky after that workout!
