Feeling Ill

Workouts were Insanity Plyometric Core Cardio, Kettlebell routine and 1-on-1 Killer Abs. (Take a look at blogs from March 2009 for complete P90X, P90X+ and 1-on-1 workout overviews)

As this week’s workouts begin, I sensed something was wrong. My Upper Plus workout was exceptionally tough and I couldn’t figure out why. It felt like every move required an extra effort. By the time I was finished, I felt like I had worked out for twice as long as I did. I took a solid 5 minute break before moving on to Abs/Core Plus which wasn’t too bad, but I still struggled with the hanging ab work. I couldn’t put my finger on it.

The next day when I woke up, I knew exactly what was wrong. I was getting sick. I skipped my morning Insanity workout to evaluate myself during the day. I was feeling like crap. I pulled it together enough to go for a swim at lunch. I was only going to go for a half mile. I also planned on working on my bilateral breathing. After a few laps, I realized bilateral breathing sucks. Every time I turned left, I felt like I sank a little in the water. I gave up and continued with my normal right side breathing. So far I never have had a triathlon where the buoys are on the left. I am sure that day will happen soon.

I plan on adding my Insanity workout tomorrow with my kettlebell workout. I am not sure if I will try to fit it Killer Abs or move it to another day. It will be a game day decision.
