Days 82, 83 and 84
Day 82 – Yoga X
I did Yoga X on Saturday morning, but shortened it up a little bit to get it in before we went and walked in the March of Dimes fundraiser. I did all of the vinyasas, some of the stretching and the yoga belly 7. I forget how difficult the 45 minutes of vinyasas is and how hard the standing half-moon poses are at the end. I was stumbling all over the place at the end of this sequence. Nonetheless, I felt pretty good at the end and was glad to get the workout in before the craziness of our day began.
The March of Dimes was about a 2 mile walk in downtown Austin from the lake to the Capitol and back. It was pretty leisurely except for the constant up and down with my boys. I carried them for a lot of the time, but it was a pretty fun event.
Day 83 – Legs and Back, Ab Ripper X
The last time of this workout for this round. I am so glad that I tracked my reps and weights in this workout. From week 1 to week 12, I improved from 8 total unassisted pullups in the whole routine to 100 unassisted pullups in the whole routine. I cranked out 16 chinups and 17 in the switch grip pullups. I can’t believe how much stronger I feel on pullups. It really is remarkable the improvement that I made over the last 83 days.
Ab ripper was also my last time for this round. I was perfect on all of the routines except fifer scissors. Oh well, maybe someday I will be able to do fifer scissors without wanting to cry.
Day 84 – Kenpo X
What can I say, I have to push really hard now to feel like I got a good workout. I got a really good sweat going and got myself sort of winded a few times. I wish I had a heart rate monitor to know how hard I was working in this workout. Oh well. One annoyance from the video – it gets frantic in many sequences with the way they change the shot and switch from person to person. It can make it hard to get in sequence with Tony when the camera work is all over the place. This is particularly evident in the last sequence of punches. I wanted them to just settle down and focus.
Tomorrow is the beginning of the last recovery week. I get to do yoga and then I am playing golf.
I don’t know how you do it.
I visited Austin last October and fell in love with the city. I am not sure if I could do P90X while living there though. Ironworks BBQ would be my P90X killer. I would eat there every night if I could.
But it looks like you managed. Congratulations on day 84. Almost there!
