Long long day and a late night yoga session for me. Well maybe not so late, but late enough for me as I am usually not starting my workout at 8:00 p.m.
It was a pretty good run through and felt good after sitting in the car and at my desk all day. All in all yoga is a good end of day routine. Even though I worked hard and got a decent sweat going, afterward I was very relaxed and felt great getting back in the car and driving up to OC.

Day 39...SHOULDERS AND ARMS AND BALANCE
Fun and quick moving workout...basically standard bi,Tri, and shoulder exercises on one foot or balancing in some other sort of fashion.
Big difference from Mondays difficult routine in the fact that I could actually do the workout without stumbling around like a kookmeyer.
I didn't have time to AbRipper so that's in the bank.

Nothing like a nice foam rollout to treat some sore muscles!

Day 37...PLYOCIDE
This was round 5 of Plyocide for me and I have to say that I really like this one. It is likely my strong suit at this point and that very well be because I have multiple attempts at it by now.
I cannot keep up with the DvD quite yet, but I am at around 70% already which is acceptable to me for now.
I am anticipating a 100% turnout before the end of Phase 2.
Brace yourself...shoot...brace MYself.

Day 36...CHEST BACK & BALANCE
Well I made it to Phase 2. After spending 4 weeks in phase 1, Brando and I made the transition today. Personally, I felt like I could keep at phase 1 for another month or two as that is how novice I still feel about it. But onwards and upwards!
Initial thoughts:
The push-up and pull-up alternation is good. I like it.
The moves are HARD. lots of balancing for the push ups and lots of core engagement and impossible holds for the pull ups.
This is a challenging workout hands down.
Four ball push ups...lol...it took me a couple minutes just to be able to get into the position...Tony and the kids moved on to the next exercise by the time I finally got myself balanced. That was frustrating and probley my low point in the workout.
AbRipper X2 style...I can see this one improving now. After the beat down I took in the workout, it was encouraging to see better performance here.
Plyocide mañana amigos.

Day 35...REST
Day off. Day before Phase 2. Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.
I do feel like my body has done some recovering. Groin already feels a whole lot better, my neck/shoulder is still not perfect, but is improved, and I am itching for some resistance style workouts.
End of phase 1 stats:
Weigh-in: 196.0
Body fat%: 12.4
Awesomeness: moderate

Day 34...KENPO
What? Kenpo? Yep...I decided to mix up the week a little more. Hey, Tony says that you can vary your recovery weeks however you see fit. So I threw in a little P90X classic Kenpo.
My groin pull made some of the moving around tough, but I made it through and it felt good to have a little cardio going.
Noticing a lot of weight fluctuating but it seems to be gravitating towards the 197 mark...
