P90X Day Twelve

P90X Day Twelve

Finally done with Day Twelve.  You know, sometimes I think dragging my bookbag around campus is a work out.  Adding this too it just kicks my booty!

First off, today was legs and back.  Doing these exercises tire my out.  My calves are burning from these exercises!  I hope that one day, my legs won't have that extra fat...I need that to run away...far...far...away.  All the squats and lunges were exhausting but they will be worth it in the end.

My favorite enemy was the Ab Ripper X.  It kills my back, but I hope one day I can do all 340 crunches and not be tired.  I'm sure I will be a little sore tomorrow.  Somehow I turned my neck today, and I felt muscle pains all through my back, shoulders, and arms.  I have no idea what happened.  It was really weird. O_o

Either I'll do Kenpo X tomorrow or Sunday.  My day of rest and Kenpo seem to get mixed up with my schedule.  I hope that's alright.

P90X Day Five

Day Five

So day five has passed.  Because my sister was moving to her new home today, I wasn't able to do P90X until about 10:30 tonight.  Now that it is almost midnight, I am exhausted, so I am going to make this a quick post. 

For the first work out it was focused on the legs and back.  It was a lot of squats again.  Since I barely made it down stairs, I couldn't see me making it through the work out.  I did the first squat, and said screw it.  I did the entire work out and my legs are burning again.  Haha.  I also did some exercises that help strengthen my calves.  I have a feeling, I'm going to feel it tomorrow. -_-

For the arms, I did some pull ups.  Instead of using the pull up bar, I used the heavy blue band.  I'm hoping that after doing this for a while, I can use the extra heavy bands.  I will tone these muscles!

Last but not least, I did the Ab Ripper X.  My back is burning...I love doing the ab work out because I really want to have a toned stomach.  The only problem is I feel the pain in my stomach and my back.  I have a feeling I'm doing it wrong, but I'm not entirely sure.

Tomorrow is the last day I can do the work outs at home.  I have to keep it up at school no matter what.  Must get fit!

P90X Day Three

 Day Three

Okay, day three is down.  Today's exercises were basically weight lifting for the arms and shoulders, and then doing Ab ripper X.  I am still really sore for yesterday's work-out but I knew today's exercising wouldn't work my legs too much.  My physical therapist is worried about me overworking my back too much, so I have to modify some of the exercises so I won't overdo it.

Since I won't have weights in school, I decided to use the bands.  It's a little bit harder, but it will do.  I've been using the one I found around the house.  Turns out I've been using the medium size one.  I just received five different size bands today to take back to school.  My upper back and arms feel worked, but it's a good thing.  It's still hard for me to walk from yesterday's work-out, but I have completed Day three!

Now that all of that is over with, I'm heading back to the desk to work some.  I've got my "2012 Guide to Literary Agents" book and I'm going to go through it again expand my list of agents.  I'm pumped to work hard.  Both for my health, and for my work/passion.  Not even school will slow me down! I'm going to do well with that too!
