Wow, I thought it was Yoga Day again this week, instead of Shoulders and Arms. I don’t think I am coming to appreciate yoga that much. Maybe I am trying to rush the week along? Unfortunately, I slept late again, and skipped my early morning snack, thinking I was headed into a (slightly) shorter workout.
Since it turned out I was working on my upper body, my goals were the same as last week: As much weight as possible, with good form, on one leg. I increased the weight used for Balance Curl, Overhead Tricep Pull, and Rocket Launcher Tricep Kickback. For the second and third sets, I used a resistance band with heavier weight on the Arnold Press, since I didn’t want to mess around with my adjustable hand weights. I definitely met my goal of increased weights, with the same repetitions.
I was certainly feeling the difference during the third set. I had a hard time on the last set of Crazy 8s, and I alternated my raised foot rather than standing on one or the other for each exercise.
As it turns out, I did just fine with a fasted workout session (no snack, remember?). Maybe that’s because of all the birthday cake I’ve been eating lately? Probably not. It’s something to remember for next time, though.
I came back at 10:30 PM for Ab Ripper. I honestly did not think I was going to do it, until I got in front of the TV and laid down on that mat. Just press play, right?
P90X2 Tip of the Day: If you miss a workout, and have the opportunity at a different time of the day, take it. You will be proud of yourself for making the extra effort.
