I found my stride today with this workout. First of all, I was not dealing with the illness I had a few days ago. Second, with this twice a week schedule, plus all the repetitions of the same exercises, I think I’m getting the hang of it.
One thing I wondered during the warm up: Why am I having so much trouble with the Fire Hydrant? I can’t tell (or remember) which direction I am rotating my leg to keep up with the kids. I guess if I rotate up and out one direction, then come up and back in the opposite direction, then switch legs at some point, that will cover it.
Since I just kept going this time, without breaks or skipped repetitions, I started to fade a little at the end of the second complex (which is after 4×4 = 16 exercises in the first complex, and almost the entire second complex). I am happy to report that I finished the entire workout!
My weakest exercises are the Squat Cross Reach (on one leg), and the Side Bridge Leg Lift (a core exercise). Maybe I’d better check out Collette’s form, as Tony suggests (ha ha).
I did the neuro-integrated stretch this time, too. I’m still working on the “pull this way, push that way” technique.
P90X2 Tip of the Day: I used my foam roller as a 3-foot measure instead of tape on the floor, for the side-to-side jumps.
