Today is the beginning of my new workout and I'm feeling so good about it. LOL. So lets get down to business.
Day 1: Rev Abs- Total Strength & Mercy Abs. Calories Burned: 855
Ok, I enjoy Rev Abs. I kinda wish I did this program before I started P90x & Insanity b/c it's a lot less intense. However, what I LOVE (so far) about this program is that it focuses primarily on your ABS. Chris trains you how to breathe and work on your core- ALL THROUGH THE WORKOUT. What I HATE about this workout (so far) is the music. It's doesn't get me in the mood. LOL. So I had to play my i-Pod & play some soca & reggae- so I could get the workout juices going. :-) Mercy Abs.....Good Lord!!! It's really a killer. I mean- it's completely different from Insane Abs or even Ab Ripper X (ARX) but it works the hell out of my gut. I have to say this by far is my favorite Abs routine out of the 3 b/c I had no pains in my back. Which has been a constant problem while doing ARX & Insane Abs. So far I give Rev Abs....1.5 thumbs up (.5 subtracted for wack ass music)
Day 29: Insanity- Core Cardio & Balance + P90X- Chest & Back. Calories Burned: 1043
Today was the beginning of my Asylum challenge that I'm doing w/ my fellow My Fitclub Members and I have to say I enjoyed my work out. I even got my sister to commit to doing the workouts with me as well. Insanity was great as usual. I enjoyed the workout and got a serious burn. I mean everything was burning, my arms, legs, butt, thighs, eyes, nose & ears...... I think you get the point. I pushed really hard. I know it's a "recovery" week, but I gotta sweat in order to feel like I'm doing something.
Now, it's been almost a year since I've done P90x and OMG!! I forgot how many push-ups you do in this workout. But I'm very happy to report that I was able to do ALL of the required push-ups. The pull-ups are a different story. There are 2 reasons why I wasn't able to do any pull-ups today. 1 is that, the space we work out in is limited to 1 door way & we only have 1 pull up bar- so I let my sister use it. I did weights as a substitute and tried to replicate what the guy was doing w/ the resistance bands. I still got a pretty good burn. The 2nd reason is that- at this current time... there is no way I'm going to be pulling up a 200 + pounds. No way, No how.... At least not now. I'll definitely try and do the modification moves- but a regular pull-up... not gonna happen. LOL.
Oh yeah, I did a Jumping Jack Challenge and I completed 120- nonstop. I'm happy about that- but some of my competition can double my number. LOL. Oh well- there's always tomorrow BADD Girls.
Now I'm trying to follow my new Abs diet to eat a bunch of power foods. I did ok today on my diet- I ate healthy today but I know for sure that I didn't eat enough. There's definite room for improvement in that area.
So what did you do today??
Good Night Folks
