steffapeppa40 Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 i thought that was part of the program where you take a week off and then start another tour of it. Well, you can certainly do that, but it isn't part of the program as stated in the given info booklet. We are definitely continuing in some capacity; modifying workout here and there...but not as we did on the initial run. I need to find some alternate Kenpo or related dvds....yoga....plyo too.

MaryStella Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 The reason I said about the week off is multiple people that I knpw that use that program do that so i thought it was part of the program. As far as yoga dvd's I like the shiva rea ones where you can create you own workout or do them as they are programmed. I have a few of those. I also like the Jivamukti ones that I have.

I so know absolutely NOTHING about yoga. I figure I'll see what the libraries have too. My husband doesn't want to take a week off I know that. I'd be good for a few days for sure but even tho it can be difficult to fit in at a decent hour... I don't want to break from the routine that I've established. It had been sorely missing from my life for sooooo long- gotta stay in da groove..... Whether I end up going for roller derby or not. I'm going to check out p90x Plus too tho I heard it isn't quite as intense or have the same "fun" quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryStella Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I'd never take the week off either. But rest days are important for recovery. A week is way too much in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaryStella Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I buy brown rice large shell noodles and stuff them. They come out great. Or you can buy the lasagna noodles and just roll them instead of manicotti. I think the brown rice noodles come out well. Usually I find them in the gluten free section.

steffapeppa40 Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 9-27-09 moves and finally,Yoga X- good stuff, good stuff. I can hardly believe it, but I did waaay more pushups then ever during this workout...During every vinyasa thing they say, you may do a push up from plank to downward dog. Up until today I hadgotten to about 5. It was an accomplishment that I had been able to do all of the Chaturanga moves…I attempted 22 pushups out of around 26 and I did it! This means I did around 48 push-up type moves. Yeah! Maybe having 2 days off was a good thing for my performance?Either way-I graduated p90x I guess!

steffapeppa40 Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 (edited) 9-29-09 moves trying a dvd I picked up= beginning Tai Chi for 40 minutes. Never tried it before so it is a little confusing the more tired I was getting listening to the directions and trying to mimic the instructor's postures. yard work---stretching, squatting, pulling...stuff like that. Back to the beginning tomorrow---with Chest and Back.Still have to take pics and all that stuff. Thursday when M has off, we'll do all that so we can take similar shots as day 1. I HATE when the lighting is all dramatic in the "after" pics. So annoying. I want to make it as similar as possible and I look as pasty as I did then too---no miracle tan here.

Pretty much stuck to the the regular program this past week but missed 1 1/2 Ab Ripper workouts.We did take "after" pics but the lighting wasn't great-oh well. We haven't had a chance to do the fit test/measurments again so we'll doit tomorrow morning to see what our improvements are hmmmm. I still have yet to write down (type out) the first workout and last workout stats for comparisons too…! So I got some dvd's from the library---none of them were what I was looking for...and I thought they were due yesterday or today.....turns out they were duelast week and I own $18!!!! Damn.

steffapeppa40 Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 10-8-09 Chest & Back---night time work-out---killer killer killer. Push ups felt all kinds of difficult today prob. because I took the 90 day fitness test or "results test". I did "eh" and also "awesome" according to me. Well it's not that complicated or long: deep Standard Pushupsbefore: 4after: 12 Pull ups (unassisted)before: nopeafter: nope, not yet!!! shoot. Vertical Leapbefore:14 "after:15 1/2 " Toe Touch (testing flexibility, sitting)before: 0 (just touched toes)after:+ 1 1/4" Wall Squat (chair position against wall-timed until butt hits floor)before: 2:08 minutesafter: 3:29 In & Outs (seated, hands on floor. Raise feet off ground and bring knees in towards chest- straightenlegs back out and repeat movement w/o touching floor)before: 31after: 70 Bicep Curlsbefore: r 20 each/ w 15lbafter: 40 each/ w 15 lb.…..w/ 3, 3 sec. breaks. Felt a little nauseous after pushing on everything else so hard) The only thing I didn't do was the "resting heart rate" ad "heart rate maximizer". Ran out of time prior to work.I stink at doing this with just my fingers on my neck. I would love a heart monitor for this job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
