Day 36 - CardioX, Chest Shoulders Triceps, Ab RipperX

CardioX - First thing, empty stomach, NO Xplode. I still like this combination. The Astanga Sun Salutations still tick me off at the beginning of CardioX, but at least it's not 45 minutes of them like in YogaX. When we get to Kenpo, I'm really happy. It's a little more difficult to transition into the Right Hook, Uppercut, Side Kick so quickly, so balance is an issue at first, but I get into the rhythm fairly quickly. I got pretty winded today right before the squat runs, too, so I needed a slight pause there. I always laugh when he says "Ricky(?) is getting weird on me." Also when he says the girl has the skin of a five-year-old. WTF? LOL!

CST - I used my new Ironmasters today and it was a different workout. Whew! I kinda missed using weights for my workouts and I swear I've lost some bulk since switching to p90x. I'm glad I can finally Bring It! again. My shoulders are sore and I can feel a stirring in my triceps. The only thing that's not so sore is the chest. I'm wondering if my arm endurance is hurting my chest exercises. I was lifting 100lb dumbbells for 6 reps doing BRE and I doubt I could do that now. The pushups are very taxing, but they hurt my arms more than my chest, so I may need to look into doing some flat presses and incline presses to supplement. We'll see.

Ab Ripper X - What to say, old friend? It's getting better a lot faster than the Yoga is, so that's cool, but the 20 minutes of Ab Ripper X is pure pain, whereas Yoga is in fits and starts, so it's more tolerable. I don't know which one is more deserving of my black moods.

Anywho...the Ironmasters rock. I can't wait to get quicker at changing them, though. I've also considered getting a set of those little aerobics dumbbells so I don't have to bother changing for 5lb and 10lb weights. Time will tell.
