Cardio and hello old friend

Week 2 day two in the books, today was another Cardio X day followed by abs. This week I am doing ab ripper X rather than the Bob Harper yoga Abs to get a little mix up going. I remembered the last time I did Ab ripper X I was thinking to myself that it was getting easy and I needed to find ways to up the intensity. I did not feel that way today. I did do every rep except the last few bonus twists because I lost my balance so I know I still need to go ahead and move the intensity up but it was nice to remember just how good a workout Ab ripper X is. When I do it again on Saturday I am going to go back to crossing the legs on one of the exercises, and doing the leg climbs without grabbing my legs at all. I am also going to add the weights back in my hands during the first four sets of moves. I figure that will really put some pain on the ole stomach the next time. Tomorrow is Legs and back again and I need to sit down for a minute tonight and look at my numbers and resistance so that I can plan for the resistance I am going to be using. One thing I can say is that I will most likely not be going for a short run after I am done with the workout like I did last week. I was sore for four days after that workout last week so I know I said I was going to up the intensity and run a little further in my last post about the workout but I really don't think that is going to happen but I guess we will see tomorrow. Don't have a lot happening today so don't have too much, I am a little surprised that I am not more sore than I am, I expected to be sore today after the great workout yesterday but that is not the case, I am a little tender by nothing like the first time so I guess I am getting stronger. Here is hoping the same thing happens with the legs and back tomorrow.
