The recovery part two

Today was the first day of my second recovery week/ week 7 of P90X. Like I said yesterday it starts with Yoga X so I was looking forward to it most of the weekend since my legs have been pretty tender in the hamstrings. When I was done with all the motion poses I was surprised that it went by as quickly as it did. I still had a good workout going but it was not nearly as hard as it has been in the past. It seems that all this working out is really beginning to pay off when it comes to workouts like this one. I was talking to a co-worker today and he mentioned that he had switched from doing the Yoga X to doing Bob Harper's Yoga DVD and says that it is a bit more fast paced and is an hour long. He also told me that it comes with a 15 minute ab workout that is pretty intense. For only about 8 dollars it seems like it will be a good investment, I am not going to look into doing it yet but I just may get it before starting a second round of P90X which I plan on doing shortly after I finish this one. I am thinking I will take a week off when I am done to let my body recover then I will start the next round, but who knows I have 7 weeks to change my mind on that. I don't remember if I mentioned this before or not but something good happened to me over the weekend, many good things happened actually but this is fitness related. I was getting out of the shower and when I sneezed I actually saw some ab muscles. I don't have a six pack yet but I know there are some firm muscles in my stomach area I just need to burn off the little bit of body fat that is hanging out around my stomach and I should be able to see them. Leading me to my next point, tomorrow is Core Syn so I should be getting a pretty good core workout which will help get those muscles showing. It has been such a long time since I did this workout that I don't quite remember all the moves but I do remember it not being as difficult as I was lead to believe it was. I am going to take a look at the band strength I used the last time I did the workout and move them up a little bit where I think I need to. Now that I am getting into the last set of workouts and going into the last phase of the program I don't want to hold anything back and I plan on really working harder in order to get the best results possible on this last phase of the program. I am also pretty excited that I am less than a week away from my next set of pictures and I can't wait to compare them with the before and phase one pictures. I really do think there has been even more change since the last set of pictures but would love to see the visual confirmation and I should have that on Sunday. I really hope there is more difference I would had to see little to no difference as it would make it difficult for me to remain motivated to push. Don't get me wrong I am sure there are differences and I can't wait to see them but the fat kid in the back of my mind still has not gone away totally so the fear is still there.
