Day 4: Yoga X!

Good Morning!

I got my Yoga X on this morning but I only did half because I had to get ready for work but needless to say I got it in. I noticed during the Astanga Salutations my triceps were burning, but I managed to breathe through it.
My flexibility needs to be increased and I also need to control my breathing. I'll keep that in mind next time.

Until tomorrow people!

Insanity Cardio Abs

Good Morning!

I almost didnt work out this morning but as I was about to get in the shower, I said to myself, "Oh so you gonna do it like that this morning? No workout today?" So I turned my water off and went into my living room and put my Insanity in and got it in.

I felt my abs and core engaged but I feel I should be feeling more so I may do some more tonight when I get home.

Happy Friday and enjoy your weekend everyone!

P90X Legs and Back....

Good Morning!

Here are my stats for today:

Workout: P90X Legs and Back
Time: 1 hr 11 mins
Calories Burned: 727
Improved on: Endurance
Needs to improve on:  Balance

This is the first time I've done the Legs and Back workout, and i feel it EVERYWHERE.

I havent done thoughts for the moment in a while, but i read some blogs over the weekend and I feel I should put something out here so.. here it goes:

I have come across a lot of challenges in my life. I have been at my lowest, my worst, and most painful. I had to REEEALY meditate...A LOT.  I had to pray a lot, and I had to cry a whole lot, and I lost a lot. But the one thing I never lost.. is my focus to LIVE.  My focus to live for myself and my children. Im the kind of person that has always put others before myself, but when it came to my health, my appearance, I couldn't do that. I had to tell any and everyone....I got to do me for a min because this double chin, this gator back tire waist and me not being able to see my **** when i looked down aint cute no more.  So everyday that I am able to, I do some kind of work out and I watch what i eat. Yesterday I carried my 18 almost 20 lb son in his carrier around the mall for about 45 mins. That lil man is HEAVY!

So Im saying all of this to say.... Life can be a biatch sometimes. The key is to make the best effort to be tougher than life and LIVE....

Love u guys and know that I am here if anyone ever needs me for anything.

Have a great day people!

P90X Core Synergistics

Good Morning!

Here are my stats for this morning:

Workout:P90X Core Synergistics
Time:1 hr
Calories Burned: 1109
Improved on: Strength
Needs to improve on: Breathing and checking my heart rate
Recovery Meal:   Optimum Nutrition Whey Protein powder. and Lipo-6

I am alternating weeks using the Creatine Performance and Lipo-6 to see which one allows me to perform better. Although I was supposed to take the Lipo-6 before I started, I chose to wait until my heart rate was raised and my metabolism was at it's peak so that my body could absorb it better. I noticed that before I got in the shower that my eyes were a little red after workout, I also felt a little queasy after towel hopping. But im good.

Make today as valuable as if it were your last!!1
Have a great day everyone!

Had to post this video of me doing clapping pushups
