The scheduled day is either a rest or a stretch day. I missed the last two days due to scheduling conflicts, hence I feel guilty. Today I decided to do the KempoX workout.
A word of warning: The instructions in this video are lacking in comparison to the other workout videos. I used to be an amature boxer as well as practicing Karate in my youth, so I understood the stance and movements but my girlfriend was extremely fustrated. I was able to show her how to stand/move, but the instruction based on the video alone is lacking. I will try to explain it more in future posts.
All in all, it's a decent workout. Not as demanding as the others. Looking back, the tempo of the workouts are in an Hard/Easy (Static/Dynamic) arrangement. This is a methodology that I have used in the past when training for boxing and is sustainable for a period of time (at least back when I was 20!). I'm looking forward to the next 90days.

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.

Ramp up week - Day 3
Today is the shoulder workout. I have a tee time booked at a city golf course at 6pm so I don't think I'll be able to make it for the workout but here is hoping.
ADDITION: I ended up golfing then going to bed at 9pm. The next morning I woke up at 6:15am and did the shoulder workout. See the next day for details

Ramp up week - Day 2
Wow am I sore from yesturday. Like aching. My inner thighs are sore from the dive bomber pushups. I didn't think they would be like this. Anyways today is Plyometrics and the timing is bad. I promised to go to the movies after work so I didn't get out to do the workout till 9:30pm.
I only did 1/2 the workout and that was tough in itself. My body is sore, my stomach is full, I'm close to bed, and my neighbors below me probably don't like me jumping around at 9:30 at night.
Dietwise: I had 1/2 a pepporoni pizza and a large coke at the movie theater. boo

Ramp up week - Day 1
Today I did the first day of p90X and boy is it a workout. I just kept my diet as trying to minimize fats whenever possible (but I still had bacon and eggs for breakfast).
Pushups 15/10,
Wide front pullups (with feet) 8/9,
Military pushups 10/5,
Reverse grip chinups (with feet) 7/6,
Wide fly pushups 10/8,
Decline pushups 8/3,
Heavy pants (bands) 10/12,
Diamond pushups 7/3,
Lawnmowers 12/15,
Dive-bomber pushups 7/4,
Back flys 7/7,
Ab Ripper X about 1/2 all the exercises
It was grueling. Diamond pushups were by far the worst. I could not go all the way down while on my toes. When I tried I collapsed and had to push up one arm at a time. For the pullups I bought a bar that hangs on the door and I put it on the kitchen door. I discovered by doing that I can put my feet on the kitchen counter and feel more stable.
