Well, I didn't skip a workout but I skipped a whole bunch of blogs. Let's see if I can recap.
Monday was Legs/Back. The bottom line on this workout is if you make it through the first half, you are probably going to be alright. The only really hard exercise in the second half is the toe roll iso lunge. My balance has improved dramatically since I started P90X. The only time I need something to occasionally balance myself is the one-legged squats where you touch the floor and come up. And I've improved on those too. At one point in the routine, I completed 10 pull ups without a chair...that is the most ever.
Kenpo...what is there to say? Easy workout but still burns calories. I can now do the knuckles-front kick-back kick without my foot touching the ground between the kicks. Once again, balance is improving.
Core is always rough but I can see I must be getting stronger. I can complete all exercises although I don't go down in Chaturanga Run...I stay in plank. One cool thing is that I can do the plank/chaturanga isos now. I used to only be able to go down and up twice.
Of course I used Core to start off my last week. It is supposed to start off with Yoga but I had to swap the days because I was limited on time...Yoga will be today. I have to admit, it is getting harder to do the workouts at the end if I focus on results. I know I will get the same 90 day results whether I do the last few workouts or not. What keeps me going is that I am trying to focus on integrating P90X into my daily fitness routine. I've said before, I am going to just keep doing it. So it isn't about 90 day results anymore...it is about just maintaining a level of fitness. So that takes the steam out of skipping the last few workouts...they won't be the last few anymore. I am actually looking forward to starting another round.
