Where Have I been??? P90X & Ab Confusion!!

I haven't written a blog since August? What?? How can this be? What have I been up to in these last months?

The same thing! Working and working out.... I'm still on my fitness journey. I'm on Day40 of P90X. It SUCH a great program. The exercises are simple but very effective. And Tony Horton... This guy can make ANYTHING fun! Such enthusiasm! Such motivation!! And to my shock not everyone loves him? WHAT??

Anyway.. P90X. I've been modifying some of the exercises. The only real difficulty I am having is that I have a hard time fitting in Ab Ripper. Oh and I totally hate YogaX. I'm advanced yoga so its sort of boring because I prefer flow yoga. And I love love love yoga. The YogaX is 73 minutes which is very long for me. Its great for people who are beginners yogis or have never done it before. Its basically set up into sections with sets of yoga poses. Instead of doing YogaX I do one of my own yoga sessions. Its not just about exercise with yoga, it's also calming & centering- getting back to where I need emotionally. I still sweat up a storm & really workout my muscles!

I LOVE StretchX. It's a really good hour of stretching out all those sore muscles from the week! I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I have! Its an hour but it goes by so fast and all that stretching helps me relax which makes me less sore! Cant go wrong there!!

And Ab Ripper. Its becoming my arch nemesis!! Its only 16 minutes but its after the hour workout at the end of my day when I get up at 0350 to get ready for work! I have to figure something out because my abs DEFINITELY need working out & I'm notorious for skipping it. Part of the problem is that I pull on my neck at lot because my abs are weak. Which means I need to work on them but I end up with neck pain!! I don't have this problem with yoga even when I'm doing shoulder stands!!

I'm giving myself this weekend to come up with a new ab plan. Maybe switch days? Do it before work?? Find a different one & work up to Ab Ripper??? To be Continued...
