Even more moving forward

I woke up today and got ready for Stretch X and abs nice and early in the morning so I could get it done and spend time with the family. So fare it has been a whole lot of fun spending about an hour in the bathroom waiting for my daughter to use the potty but hey time with family is time with family. I woke up this morning and everything was still a little sore and pretty stiff from the workouts so far this week. The stretching could not have come at a better day by the time it was over I was feeling much better and the stiffness had gone a way. Then it was moving on to abs, the last day of Bob Harper abs before moving back to Ab Ripper X next week. I am happy to report I finally had some progress with the Bob video. Since getting the video one of the moves that has been hard for me and I have not been able to do without putting my hands behind me were the boat crunches. Well today I was finally able to do them. I was only able to do three before having to put my hands down but I was just happy to finally be able to do it. Tomorrow is mothers day so I am going to get up early for legs and back so that  I can get it done and spend the rest of the day pampering my wife since she is the best mother on the planet and deserves it. I am hoping that my legs won't be as sore all week this week like they were last week but we will just have to wait and see.

Tip:
Yesterday I was taking about when to workout and when I do my exercises. Here is another look, some folks like to get there workout in mid day or after work. From what I have read and talking to friends that workout here is the reasoning behind that. Working out mid-day allows you to get your pre-workout nutrition in 1.5 to 2 hours before the workout so that the food can get into the blood stream and fuel the workout giving you more energy for more reps and weight. It alos keeps your metabolism up for hours after the workout so that you can use the food you eat for dinner more affectively and lessen the chance for storing fat.
