Plyometrics

Good morning! This morning's workout was Plyometrics, which I got a good workout from, as usual. I'm finding that workout's getting a little harder for me though - starting to notice some aches in my joints, so I may have to take the impact down a little bit or change to a different workout.

Hoping that the rest of the day is good for me and for everyone reading this blog. Everyone have a great day!

Back and Biceps and Ab Ripper X

Good morning! This morning's workout was Back and Biceps and Ab Ripper X - had a good workout as usual - and did do Ab Ripper X this morning, and actually found it easier to do, so I think that taking a week off from doing Ab Ripper X might have helped.

I also noticed something about the P90x workouts, and I'm going to ask about this in one of the Facebook groups I belong to - I've noticed that the second half of most of the workouts I do is a lot more enjoyable than the first half - I've noticed that about Plyometrics, Ab Ripper X, and today I noticed that about Back and Biceps. I'm not sure why that is - if it's because my muscles are good and warmed up by then or what - but like I said I'm going to ask about it in one of my Facebook groups and see if anyone else has noticed that.

Hope everyone has a great day and don't forget to bring it!

Legs and Back, My Plans for the Day and My Workout Plan for the Coming Week

Good morning! This morning's workout was Legs and Back - again I didn't do Ab Ripper X because of lack of time. This morning I've been working on some transcription as well as a few other things. I'll probably use part of the day to work on some transcription as well as (hopefully) spend some time with Kevin before he leaves go to out of town for the week.

This coming week I plan to do the following workouts:

Monday - Rest Day
Tuesday - Back and Biceps and Ab Ripper X
Wednesday - Plyometrics
Thursday - Chest, Shoulders and Triceps and Ab Ripper X
Friday - X Stretch
Saturday - Kenpo Cardio
Sunday - Legs and Back and Ab Ripper X

Kenpo Cardio and My Plans for Today

Good morning! This morning's workout was Kenpo Cardio, which I got a great workout from as usual - I was also able to get my heart rate monitor to work this time - I need to remember to only use a little bit of gel on it.

Not sure what I plan to do today - I've already washed the dishes from yesterday and put away the laundry I did last night. I may spend some time working on some other projects - hope everyone has a great Saturday!

Chest, Shoulders and Triceps and Gained Half a Pound

Good morning! This morning I did a Chest, Shoulders and Triceps workout. I also got on the scale this morning and found I was up to 124.5 - gained half a pound. That's actually not bad considering how much I ate last weekend in Michigan. I'm hoping to get at least some of it off this coming week, because Kevin will be out of town for at least a few days.

That's it for now, hope everyone has a good weekend!

Plyometrics

Good morning! Did Plyometrics this morning and had a good workout, as usual - I always get a good, sweaty workout when I do that workout. Couldn't get my heart rate monitor to record my heart rate though, for some reason - I think maybe because I used heart rate monitor gel on it when I really didn't need it because I do get real sweaty. So next time I do that workout I won't use the heart rate monitor gel and see if that makes a difference.

Hoping that today is like the last few days have been - steady but not to crazy. Hope everyone has a great day!

Back and Biceps and Lessons I Learned from "The Saint, The Surfer and the CEO"

Good morning - this morning's workout was Back and Biceps - was also going to do Ab Ripper X, but ended up not having enough time. Got a great workout as usual - I used my resistance bands to do the pull-up exercises because I didn't feel like having my husband get up and put up my chin-up bar.

I also wanted to talk about some of the lessons I learned and the ideas I got from one of the books I read this past weekend, "The Saint, The Surfer and the CEO," by Robin Sharma. The book is a fictional story about a man named Jack who meets three people - a priest named Mike, a surfer named Moe, and a CEO named Tess. He spends a month with each of them, and they all teach him different lessons about how to live a better life. I got some ideas for how I can make my life better by reading each of those stories - I've started meditating again, and I've also downloaded a few more books I want to read - "The Art of Living," by Epictetus, and "The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius." I've also downloaded and read a few other books - "All You Need is Less," which I'll talk about tomorrow, and I'm in the process of reading "Tox-Sick - From Toxic to Not Sick," by Suzanne Somers - I'll talk about that once I'm finished with it.

That's about it for today - I'll talk about these other books in future posts, as well as the progress I'm making with the changes in my life as a result of reading these books.
