Note: This blog entry is about my workouts for the week. I can’t find any information online about Shawna Brannon from X2 Yoga (below), but check out the rest of my Cast Profiles, also on Pinterest.
I was very pleased with my workouts this week, except for oversleeping on Wednesday. Oops! I guess I needed a rest. I was recovering from sinus headaches or something. Here’s the recap:
Monday: X2Â Plyocide! Yes, I swapped the cardio and resistance days this week, and I decided to do Plyocide at least one of the two cardio days. I really worked hard today, too. I guess we’ll never know what would have happened on Wednesday…
Tuesday: Resistance. I did one full set of exercises, plus the bonus round, plus a few repeats for the start of the second set. That’s more than I did last week, and in a shorter time period. Yahoo!
Wednesday: Overslept! Hey, at least I walked the dog, which she really appreciates.
Thursday: Resistance. I did about the same as Tuesday, with a few extra repetitions here and there. I am definitely improving on certain exercises, such as the Push Up Jacks.
Friday: X2 Yoga. It’s not just because I like to see Shawna… But it’s not a bad reason, either. I really prefer following a video rather than the book in this case.
Saturday: Resistance. With essentially no time limit today, I went as far as I could, which was all the exercises for the first set, then the bonus exercises, then… I almost made it to the end (minus the last four exercises). All that, plus the warm up and cool down, in about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Not quite the 55 minutes Tony mentioned in the book! I used P90X2 Shoulders and Arms for the warm up and cool down. It’s fun to have something to watch while I suffer… I mean, improve.
Next week I want to decide if I will continue this workout routine for a while longer, or move on to something else.
Bring It! Tip of the Week: Don’t forget to write down your repetitions, weights used, and other notes to track your progress. I don’t know why Tony didn’t include sample worksheets in the book!
