Workouts were Total Body Plus, Yoga X and Upper Plus with Abs/Core Plus. (Take a look at blogs from March 2009 for complete P90X, P90X+ and 1-on-1 workout overviews)
I switched things up a bit this week.
1) Due to Christmas parties
2) I want to start doing the longer P90X yoga.
Total Body was a bear. I went heavier and tried to pump out some more pull-ups and push-ups. I always feel that I never really as hard as I do with other workouts, but the next few days after I am very sore.
I took the next day off and then it was time for P90X Yoga. I never thought I would miss an hour and a half of viyasa’s, chatarunga’s and downward dogs. Sadly, I did. What a great workout. I really needed it. I forgot how beneficial this workout is come triathlon season. I am definitely going to stick with it.
Next up were Upper Plus and Abs/Core Plus, both from P90X+. I have to say that I am happy this is my last week of these workouts. I don’t know why, but I feel like I get more out of the straight P90X workouts. Nothing really changed here. I added some push-ups and pull-ups. I am feeling kind of sluggish. It is probably due to the fact I am just getting over a cold.
Tomorrow is my last Insanity workout of this phase.
I have a feeling I am going to lose again…
In good health,

Still Sick
Workouts were a 4 mile run and Total Body Plus. (Take a look at blogs from March 2009 for complete P90X, P90X+ and 1-on-1 workout overviews)
I am still trying to shake this cold, so that mad the workouts extra tough this week. I am also going to stop putting in diet info. The reason being is that it is always pretty close to being the same. Carbs are between 45g-55g, protein 35g-45g and fat 10g-14g.
I struggled with my run this week and cut it short. With all the chest congestion I had, breathing was difficult. I went as long as I could feel somewhat comfortable. Once I began to feel like I was struggling, I knew it was time to stop. I probably shouldn’t have run at all.
Total Body was again tough. I really didn’t have a lot of energy and strength, but I did it anyway. Again, probably a bad idea. I didn’t push too hard and stayed in my comfort zone. I still felt that I got in a good workout.
The next couple of days are going to be slow. I am going to take tomorrow off and then hit yoga the next day.
In good health,
