Due to my skipping a day yesterday, I now have Plyometrics, Shoulders and Arms, and Ab Ripper X in the same day. Yikes. I wanted to merge two workout days into one today because I'm off from work so it is *much* easier to get two of them them in on a day off than when one I'm working for 12 hours.
However, I would have liked to reserve Plyometrics on a day when I don't have any other workouts... I'm just glad it's not Plyometrics and then Legs! :)
I somehow hurt my back yesterday... I was sitting with a client at some point in the morning and out of nowhere my entire lower back just tightened and clenched up... serious muscle spasms... I excused myself and limped into the back room where I proceeded to helplessly cry as visions of me being in bed for 3 days filled my head until a coworker came in. My manager gave me some Magnesium powder mix that made me almost gag and I also took a few Motrin... and you know what, after lying flat on my back for about 30 minutes with my knees up I started to feel better. Glad that's over...
On a lighter note... I'M SO GLAD I'M OFF FROM WORK TODAY. True story.
I'm sure I'll update after the workouts (or in between if I'm really hurting) ;-)

Okay, so I just finished Plyometrics... I either forgot how hard it was, or am suddenly out of shape. That was REALLY tough! Wow. At one point when he said his heart rate was 153, I looked down at my watch and mine was 173!! I promised myself (and my blog readers) last week's Plyometrics was just a trial run because I didn't want to burn myself out halfway though... well, this week, I guess I really pushed.
Plyometrics
Max HR: 207
Avg HR: 158
Calories Burned: 655
Not too shabby.
The only move I couldn't do was the rockstar jump one; the first time my feet kicked up my back pain came back... So I skipped that one. Surprisingly my back was okay on the rest of them and should be okay for arms and shoulders... I'm not too sure about abs but I'm going to try.
Next week is a recovery week, so this week has got to be hardcore. I'm going to take the bike out for a spin around the block a few times and come back and do shoulders and arms and ab ripper... Update to follow.

Now it's time for some lunch. PROTEIN! hehe
Question of the day: What is it, exactly, that the P90x group is discussing in their pre-workout huddles?

Quick update: I finished Shoulders and Arms with ease (I think it's time to increase the amount of weight again!) :) And then went for another spin on my bike. I'm beat....!
