Day 12

Today we switched legs with yoga, so it was yoga today. Me and my gf went to the park with the laptop in order to enjoy the sunset while doing yoga. It is much, much harder on uneven ground than on the flat floor of my apt. I am amazed that every time I do the dvd, I get stronger since the last time.

One thing I noted is that I hurt my chest quite bad yesturday doing the pullups. Best to take it easy for the next few days.

Dietwise: I made turkey burgers for lunch but everyone in the office pitched in $5 for pizza, so I had 2 slices instead. For supper I made tiki chicken marsala instead of the fish dish. I want something a little less bland

Day 4

Today was YogaX. The last time I tried I only got 35min into it. This time I was able to finish the entire tape! The poses use tiny muscles that I've never used before (and I used to do yoga). The second time around though, I think it is easier cause that mind-muscle connection has linked. I just finished and I haven't felt this good in a long time :)

Add 2hrs of Volleyball for fun afterwards.

Ramp up week - Day 4

Ok so I missed the workout yesterday due to golf and a lack of sleep. I woke up this morning at 6:15am and did the shoulder workout and ab workout.

alternating shoulde press 12/10,
in&out bicep curls 16/16,
two arm tricep kickbacks 12/10,
deep swimmers press 12/10,
full super...curls 10/12,
chair dips 17/15,
upright rows 12/10,
static arm curls 16/16,
flip grip tricep press 9/10,
two angle shoulder flys 12/12,
crouching curls 10/10,
lying down tricep extension 7/10,
ab ripper x (about half the workout but further than Monday)

I am using bands for the exercises because I live in an apartment and don't have access to weights. The shoulder and tricep exercises are fine cause I can shorten the bands to suit. But it seems like the bicep exercises do not work well with the bands for me. I don't get a pump like they say on the video. I definitely feel it in the other exercises though.

Diet buster: Quizos steak sandwich for lunch (reg size)

Yoga X is awsume. I used to do yoga a while back but would only do it for 20min or so. This DVD is and hour and a half and is great. At first the upward dog is hard cause your still but it quickly becomes the pose to rest in to recover from the other ones. I only did the first hour of it because I signed up for rec volleyball and had to leave.
