Today is the first day of recovery week and it starts off with Yoga like I said yesterday. The idea of getting up and doing Yoga never really thrills me but once I start to do it I am happy that I am. Today went really well, I focused on keeping my legs straight when I was supposed to and getting further in the poses. For the most part I was able to do just that but as I was finishing up the first set of poses I could barely hold the royal dancer pose and struggled a little with the prayer twists. I don't recall that happening in the past but I think it did today because my legs were a bit waisted by the time I got to that part of the video. When I finished up I had time enough to go out and run a mile like I have been thinking about doing but chose not to just because it rained like nobody's business most of the night and the ground is when and gross so I figured I can go on a short run on Wednesday and Thursday and even Friday if the weather permits. I would tomorrow morning but that would mean I would have to wake up around 3:40 or do and I don't know that I really want to do that after the 14 hour work day today. All of this exercise is not going to do any good if I don't get the required rest to let my muscles repair and grow enough. Tomorrow is the first time I am doing the core synergistics workout and I am excited to see what it is like. I have been told that it is not an easy workout and like all the rest of the workouts will be a challenge. I am very OK with that. Even though it is "recovery week" I still want to push hard and get the best results that I can so that my 28 day pictures on Sunday show great progress. While I was doing the Yoga poses and sitting in downward dog I happened to see down my t-shirt and was not thrilled with what I saw. I still have a log of toning to do in order to like what I see there as well but it is only a matter of time. While I was in the shower today I was planning out a P90X cycle schedule that I think I am going to go for. Finish this cycle off by the end of March, take April off for running and rest. Start again in May finish at the end of July and take August off for the sam running and rest, then start again in September and finish in December and have the month to enjoy the holidays. Sound like a great plan we will just have to see if it works or if I would rather add more variety to the routine. I do think what I have planned will get me to the body I want by the end of the year but I do see switching from bands to weights by the end of the year, if that means working out at the office again so be it, but I would like to wait until the pull up bar they said was getting installed is in place before I make the switch. The one that I use at the house is leaving a little mark on the door frame, no damage to it just a little black spot I will have to paint over.
Check back tomorrow to see how core synergistics was.
