Legs and Back and Abs/Core Plus and my Plans for Today

Good morning! This morning I got up and did Legs and Back and Abs/Core Plus - both workouts went well, I actually was able to do 4 reps of almost all the pull-up exercises today. I did fairly well at Abs/Core Plus - I love that workout because of the diversity, but I still have kind of a hard time with some of the hanging ab moves, so I decided to look for more information on how to do them online, and found the following review:

https://hmanfitness.wordpress.com/workout-programs/p90x-plus-review/p90x-plus-abs-core-plus/

It actually provided some pretty decent descriptions (I thought) of how to do the exercises, so I'll try using the descriptions here and see if I can figure out how to do the exercises. I also may ask for help on the Beachbody message boards.

Today I plan to work on some stuff - I have some freelance writing due tomorrow, so I need to get that done, plus I have a few other things  I need to do. Hope everyone has a good Sunday!

Kenpo Cardio and My Saturday

Good evening! This morning's workout was Kenpo Cardio, which went well as usual. After I did my workout I got ready for my day - went through my normal morning routine. After Kevin got back from physical therapy we went out to visit some friends in Thomasville, North Carolina for a few hours - it was nice to get out of the house for a few hours after being in here for two weeks. After we got back I worked on a few things - looking forward to relaxing with Kevin tonight. Tomorrow I'll be working on some stuff while Kevin gets ready to head back to Maryland for the week. Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their Saturday!

X Stretch and Lost 2 Pounds

Good morning! I'm pleased to say that when I got on the scale this morning I'd lost 2 of the 5 pounds I gained the previous week - hopefully I can lose some more of it the coming week. This morning's workout was X Stretch as usual.

Today Kevin is heading home for the weekend - he only has to work in  Maryland another week though, and then he'll be back to working in North Carolina. Looking forward to spending some time with him this weekend.

Upper Plus

Good morning! This morning's workout was Upper Plus - I love that workout because it uses more muscle than the regular P90x upper body workouts, but I still need to work on improving at some of the exercises.

Yesterday I worked a slightly different schedule at work - I worked 10-7:30 instead of 9-6:30 so I could help out a co-worker - she took my hour from 9-10 yesterday.  I'm glad I could help her out, but I don't know if I'll be doing that again - I ended up being there 15 minutes later than I was supposed to because I got stuck on a long call. Hoping that today is a little less busy. Hope everyone has a great day!

High Intensity Interval Training workout

Good morning! This morning's workout was supposed to be Interval X Plus, but I decided to change things up a bit and do a high intensity interval training workout that I found on YouTube - it was only 30 minutes, but it really gave me a good workout. If you want to check it out you can find it here:

I also found an old book of mine from when I was in college "The College Dorm Workout" by Joyce and Marthe Vedral - some of the exercises in it are outdated, but it might be a good workout for me to do when we're traveling. If you want to check it out, you can do so here: http://amzn.to/29E9Jbj

Today's work schedule is going to be a little bit different for me - I'm starting work at 10:00 and working until 7:30 to help out someone who needed to go do something tonight - going to use the extra time this morning to get some stuff done. Other than that, that's it. Hope everyone has a great day!

Total Body Plus

Good morning! I've had a good day so far today, I did Total Body Plus this morning, which I got a good workout from. I should have done Abs/Core Plus along with it, but I ended up not having enough time. It's okay though, I got enough ab work in the Total Body Plus Workout.

Yesterday before work I did a few things - one thing I did was I called a few places about donating some of the items I have - I think I'm going to end up donating everything to the Salvation Army, it will make things easier because I'll only have to make one trip.

That's it for now, hope everyone has a great day!

Legs and Back and Abs/Core Plus, my Workout Plan for the Week and My Plans for the Day

Good morning! This morning's workout was Legs and Back and Abs/Core Plus - it went well except that I forgot to use my 10 pound weight on the alternating side lunge like I had made a note to last week. I enjoyed Abs/Core Plus, but I need to work on using my abs more on the hanging ab exercises.

This week's workout plan is a little more intense:

Monday - Rest day
Tuesday - Total Body Plus/Abs/Core Plus
Wednesday - Interval X Plus
Thursday - Upper Plus/ARX
Friday - X Stretch
Saturday - Legs & Back/Abs/Core Plus
Sunday - Kenpo Cardio Plus

Yesterday I got quite a bit accomplished - I cleaned out a bunch of files that I no longer needed - here are some before and after pictures of my file cabinet:


This is my file cabinet before I cleaned it out


And this is my file cabinet after I cleaned it out.


Don't know about you, but I see a pretty big difference there. Today I plan to work on cleaning out the drawers in my bathroom, as well as working on a few other things. Hope everyone has a great day!
