Tuesday I decided to dust off Interval X+... Man that was a great workout, and I think it'll be a good replacement for plyo for the time being...
When I got up today and I decided today would be a doubles kind of day... so I threw in Medicine Ball Core Cardio from Tony Horton 1-on-1 and got Ab Ripper X out of the way.. what a great fun workout to start the day.
Just got done with Shoulders and Arms, while I know I've had some setbacks from the shoulder I'm not as far off as I thought I was... I still have a way to go to get back into the P90X shape I was in last summer, but now I'm certain that I can get back there and push farther past it..
Tomorrow is Fountain of Youth Yoga from 1-on-1... 40 mins of yoga sure beats 90! :)

Well, after a weekend of sitting by the pool, drinkin beers and burning up (it had to be 114) I decided to skip the last week of my pre P90X workout and just BRING IT!!
I'm feeling freaking great about the start of this round, just I did in February (killed it for a month, then jacked up my neck and shoulder, which basically rendered me useless for 3 months)
Anyway, Day One was 7/27 and Chest and Back went OK.. I did fantastic the first round, as you know, one set, then repeat, so then round two came and I got punked (early and often) I'm excited to hit it hard next week and show it who is boss!!
Day two is supposed to be plyo and hiking, but first off there are excessive heat warnings today, and second our downstairs neighbor doesn't really appreciate the jumping that plyo entails (i think she's on the condo board or is friends with the condo board president so, I'm not messing with her :) ) I'm a little torn, I'm either going to do Interval X+, Kenpo-Cardio X+, or One-on-One Medicine Ball Core Cardio... I'll let ya know...

Phase Three kicked off last night with Chest & Back!! One noticable change from the first round was the change in my pushups! In the first round I dropped to my knees to finish a lot of the moves. I still busted it for as many regular pushups as i could, my breaking point was earlier than I liked. The first workout of phase three, was CRAZY! I only dropped to my knees to finish 3-4 Diamond Push-Ups near the end! I did a respectable amount of reps too! I was really pumped the changes from phase 1 to phase 3's innagural workout :) ARX, it had seemed like a million years since I've done ab ripper, so I was definitely feeling it, and it went pretty well!
Today, plyo at 4:45 (SUCK) Plyo went well, I was still shaking off grogginess when it started but what a way to start the day huh? LOL Plans are to go hiking tonight but I believe if we have the same Severe Monsoon Storms we had yesterday, that might not happen, which it ok... I feel like I'm so far behind on some general adult stuff like laundry, dishes, cleaning, and I'm building a website which has been relatively neglected recently.
Btw if you know anyone wanting web design I freelance... ;)
Keep bringing it, and you know I'll be right there with ya!!

today was a bear of a day.
I woke up early to get my P90X workout in, today, shoulders & arms. I love that workout. Weights were up, I was definately feelin it today. I enjoyed the morning workout and it kind of energized me for the day. I can't believe its been nearly two weeks since I started!
My big news of the day is I finished the entire trail at Piestewa Peak, yesterday we made it just under 3/4 of the way up and today I was determined to make it the rest of the way. My friends on the other hand were happy getting back up to where they were yesterday. So I left them behind and climed the last half mile almost straight up to the top (keep in mind it was still 106 here...lol). What an incredible feeling!! Piestewa Peak's Summit Trail is just over 1.5 miles and it rises up a rather steep way... i think the total height of the peak is around 2600 feet. Anyway it was incredible and it just makes me want to do more... here is a pic of me at the top... I'm going to try and get into it more on my youtube blog later this weekend...
Anyway I'm completely gassed from the hike... I have to make up AbRipperX in the morning. Off to bed...
Thanks for checkin in...
Keep Bringing It!!!
