4-06-16 HY: T25- Beta: Core Cardio + Splits + TCF.
Today was a full day and I didn't make it home until past 8pm. Again, not the best time to start a workout, but it's all I could do today. I knew I was going to do a short workout, and I was really thinking of doing X3 Yoga. But I was a bit inactive today, and I was sort of tired because of that inactivity so I changed my mind and went with Core Cardio.
This is my move into T25 Beta so I was expecting more strength moves, so when the routine started I was shocked at the speed at which it started. And since it was Core Cardio, I expected some core moves on the floor mixed with cardio moves, sort of like Ab Intervals in Alpha, but no, much different from what I expected. Yes, I'd done this routine before, but probably over two years ago so I did not remember any of the moves at all. This was a Double Burnout routine. The first round was tough, but doable, the biggest hurdle in the second round, or at least I think it was the second round was the Speed Kicks. Again, arch issues. Once I got past that move, I got through it well enough. Now, here is the question, I didn't stop to rewind the DVD once, so normally I would call that a Straight 25 session. However, a few times, during move transitions, I stopped to see how Shaun T was doing the move, then I would start in. I lost one, maybe two moves at the most. Also, at the very end, after the second Burnout, the two moves: Mountain Climbers, and Spider Climbers, I was dying and so the two Climber moves started off really slow. The Spider one stayed pretty slow with about a breath between each rep. The very last two moves, Body Spring and Full Body Run also, started off a little slow, but I, for the most part kept up with Shaun T and crew. Are those "move check" slight pauses enough to negate a Straight 25? Oh, and during that Tap Out series, I was SWEATIN' LIKE A PIG! So, I would stop to quickly wipe the sweat out of my eyes, but I did not break form. I didn't take any breaks, but I did have a few micro pauses. HMMMMMMM???
The Splits were great! I was able to find a good angle to go low on. However, on the last two straddle splits, my right knee started to feel like it was about to buckle, so I backed off. CRUMB!!! I'll test it tomorrow. I may need to alter my poses. The Flow was, as usual, on par.
In the end, I torched a good 709kcals. All that in a quick 90 minutes. Thankfully, I got rid of that inactive tiredness feeling.

4-05-16 HY: P90X+ Total Body Plus + ChaLEAN Extreme: Extreme Core Circuit + Splits + TCF.
Today was such a disappointment. I was planning to play tennis today in the morning, but when I got to the gym to set up the net, it was full of orientation things. My university's entrance ceremony is tomorrow and then they have a bunch of physical tests and such to do, along with selling gym shoes, etc. So the gym was occupied and no tennis. My next tennis time will probably be next week, so that is going to be about 2 weeks with no tennis. BOO HOO!!! But I did get some information about an organization that I can possibly join so I can play more. Here's hoping!
Not playing tennis, I guess, was sort of a blessing in disguise because today was supposed to be a resistance day, so I was able to stay on track. Having finished all the basic P90X resistance routines, I am moving to the Plus routines. Total Body Plus kicked my butt! Before I started the routine I was looking at the worksheet and the rep counts and the weights were not high at all, so I thought I could up everything. NO WAY!!! It has been a while since I did this routine last, and I failed to write the date down above the last column so I don't know exactly when I did it. Probably close to a couple years ago. I was able to improve a little bit on certain moves, but on the whole, I did pretty much the same. The heaviest weight, I upped from 10kgs to 12kgs. The medium weight went up to 12kgs from 7.5kgs. On 17. Weighted Warrior, I went up 1kg to 4kgs, and I was dying. The second side, I barely got my arms up on the last couple of reps. I was only able to up the rep count on a few moves, and only by 1 or 2 reps. Moves like 05, 07, 09, 12, 20 and the bonus moves. It was BRUTAL!!!

Over all, it was a great workout. Although this was a resistance routine, there was a lot of cardio in it. I pushed it and I got a huge cardio affect. burned a lot of calories. BOO YA!
I was going to take a break from abs today, but when I thought about my schedule tomorrow, I decided to go ahead and do abs today because I won't have time to do it tomorrow, entrance ceremony and all, plus a night class. So I chose a short but really intense routine. I really love this ab routine because it is different, but BURNS so good. Today, I used 2kg hand weights since I don't have the weighted gloves. Toughy Tough tough! I love the burn this routine gives, and so quickly, too. Another plus is that it is fun!
Splits were low and Flow was smooth! Great way to end the workout.
In the end, I torched a big 1155kcals. Happy Dance!

I was ready to go for the lower body today. No more soreness from P90X's Legs & Back last week. So I wanted to go for a deeper range of motion on the lunges and squats. I did, and I got a huge burn. Again, the biggest hurdle was the Calf Hops. Still a killer on the old arches, but I am able to last till the end. My legs got to the burn rather quickly, but I was able to hang on and do a Straight 25.
It is nice to be able to do any ab routine. I wanted to this on right after Ab Ripper X to compare burn, and this simple little routine gets the burn going quicker (for me) than Ab Ripper X. And the resulting burn lasts much longer than Ab Ripper's. Pump is also bigger. Maybe it is the isometric holds as opposed to the rep count. Great ab routine!
The splits are at a good level now, just got to keep pushing out of my comfort zone. I'm bouncing lower, but I want that long low hold. I'm getting there. The Flow was right there.
In the end, I torched a good 700+kcals.

4-03-16 HY: P90X- Back & Biceps + Ab Ripper X + Splits + TCF.
Unexpectedly busy day. It started of very slow, getting up late, late breakfast, then house chores non-stop. Then suddenly having to go out. Taking time to eat a late lunch with my girls, then whirlwind shopping. I was expecting to be back home before 6pm because of an appointment my wife had, but she was able to move it to tomorrow, so that freed up the evening and we didn't get home until after 8pm. I wasn't able to start my workout until after 9pm. I was also expecting this workout to be a little longer because it is a resistance routine, along with adding the other support routines. However, there were a lot of "interruptions" because my daughter wanted to try different moves with my pull-up bar, wanted to try lifting my dumbbells fully loaded, etc. So I played with her that way. She wanted to try "Corn Cob Pull-Ups" so I showed her how and she gave it a go. FUNNY!!! So, after all was done, my workout lasted 3 hours and 3 minutes. Yep, finished after midnight. I really don't like doing that, but it was worth the extra time. Years ago, I used to get mad when someone interrupted my workouts, but I figured that doing that was not worth the relationship damage, so I just enjoy the interruptions now. But don't get me wrong, I don't invite them.
This is my work sheet. Instead of typing out every move and giving the old weights and reps, I'll get a little lazy and just let you see it. Basically, most of the weights are the same. Only three moves have different weights. 18, 19 and 24. For 24, you can see the weights I used at the very bottom. Also, instead of 4 sets, I did 5. As for reps, when I could choose my rep count, I went up from 12reps to 15reps. I really wanted to up my Pull-Up rep count as well, but only 01, 17 and 21 went up. Also, the first 3 sets of Pull-Ups, I did at "Full" range of motion. But the last three, I went to a 110degree angle on my elbows, except for 21. I did 4reps at 110 degrees, then 6reps at full range of motion, but singles, meaning I would do one rep then come off the bar, shake it out, then do another rep. My arms were so burned out I'm happy I could do that. The interesting thing about this routine is that basically on every move, I really felt the burn, and pumped till failure, but once I put the dumbbells down, the burn quickly disappeared. Unlike Body Beast where the burn along with the pump took a little while to build up, but once it was there it stayed for long after the workout was finished. At the end though, like I said before, my arms were just so burned out, I could barely do the pull-ups, but the curls were still doable. My forearms got a huge workout. For them, the burn took a while to hit me, but once it did, BURN IT DID! As far as weights, the 10kgs and 17kgs were just right to bring me to failure by the last rep. Along with the burn.
Since I finished the 0-6 Abs program, I am free to do whatever ab routine I want. So, I just went ahead with Ab Ripper X. NAILED IT! Non-stop, even the bonus 10reps on Mason Twist. But I did double over in pain right after 50.
Splits are happening. Finding the right angle on my hips is key to going lower. There always seems to be something, a tendon, or muscle that is in the way, that once I position correctly, I can go lower. So I have to shift around to get that done. The Flow was awesome.
In the end, I torched a big 1234kcals. Happy to get it done today.

This was an unexpected pleasure. Every year, our church goes out into nature to have our worship service during Cherry Blossom season. But because of a scheduled event, the usual place was unavailable. So we went to another place that had just as beautiful Cherry Blossoms. After the service, we went out and took a walk in the nature. My daughter, then found an athletic field and obstacle course which she really wanted to do and she dragged me along with her. It went through the woods and there were tons of huge steps, swinging bridges, rope obstacles, etc. I didn't want to, but I worked up a lathery sweat. The steps were between a foot to almost a foot and a half. Major leg workout. The steps were going up and down the side of a gully in the woods. To get through every thing, it took over two hours.
Then, when we got home, she wanted to play football. Actually, I wanted to play and she accepted, then she wanted to play badminton, so I played. Those two sports took about 45 minutes. Such Fun!
No HRM, but I'm sure I burned a good 500+kcals.

This is the one T25 routine that I really want to get a Straight 25 on. I almost went with Lower Focus because I was still sore from yesterday's workout. A lot of push-ups yesterday with P90X's Chest, Shoulders & Triceps. But I decided to stick with the schedule and go for it. I got through the whole routine well enough until the Burnout, then FAIL. The last progression before the Burnout is that Spider/Oblique push-up progression, then the first move in the Burnout is the Tap Push-Ups. I tried to keep up with Shaun T and go into the Burnout, but I collapsed. Wasn't able to go down from Plank, I just collapsed. So I had to take a break of about 20-30 seconds to shake it out. But that was it. Finished it up with no other breaks. But that Spider Progression followed by the Burnout is just BRUTAL! The oddest thing happened to me in the middle of the routine. At one point my upper body felt like they were getting SO pumped that my muscles in my arms and shoulder felt like they were going to pop. It felt cool and weird at the same time.
I feel like I have done a good job with Level 14 today so today is the caper for the 0-6 Abs program. I really feel like my core got a lot stronger and stable. The progressions were gradual and really took a good while to get through. It was a very thorough program taking beginners from zero abs to a good level of core strength. I would recommend it to anyone that wants to get their core strong.
Splits were good. Just a little pinched nerve feeling in my left upper hip flexor, but not a pain nerve, but rather a "funny bone" nerve. It almost tickled when I hit it. But I was able to re-position and get low. The Flow was on Par.
As I was heading for the shower, my daughter called out, "Daddy, let's play volleyball!". So, I changed my shirt, put on some warm clothes and went out to play some V-ball with my daughter. Fun, but my legs were noodles. But I wouldn't pass up this opportunity to play no matter what.
In the end, I torched a good 820+kcals.

Last day of vacation and it was great. Just relaxing at home in the morning, then going out with my wife for lunch. Got into my workout when we got home.
I really like this routine because it majorly gives me a huge pump and brutal burn on every move. When I started the routine, I initially planned to use the same weight I did the previous time I did this routine, but once I started the routine, I felt I could do more reps and go higher on the weights. So some I did and some I kept close. Here goes:
01. Slow-Motion 3-in-1 Push-Ups + Bonus: 12 + 15 bonus reps. Same number of reps.
02. In & Out Shoulder Flys: 16reps/5kgs. Same.
03. Chair Dips: 15reps with legs on the second step of my ladder.
04. Plange Push-Ups: 15reps. No break. Last time I took a break at 12 reps.
05. Pike Presses: 15reps. Same. My arms were so pumped, especially my triceps. Also my shoulders.
06. Side Tri-Rises: 15-15reps. Same. Again, huge pump and burn on the tris.
07. Floor Flys: 24reps. Getting better at activating my chest on push-ups.
08. Scarecrows: 15reps/5kgs. Same. Much better form now that my weights are normal, not just weighted plates on a towel.
09. Overhead Tricep Extensions: 15reps/17kgs. +2kgs. The burn was definitely there on the last few reps. Also, instead of using two dumbbells, I used 1 heavy one.
10. Two-Twitch Speed Push-Ups: 25reps. Same. Just stayed with Tony, but the last two reps were after Tony finished and slow due to exhaustion.
11.Y-Presses: 15reps/12kgs. +3reps/same weight. This move is usually really tough, but I felt really good today, so I kept it going to 15reps. BURN!
12. Lying Tricep Extensions: 15reps/12kgs. +3reps/+2kgs. I changed this one up a little. Instead of lying on the floor, I used the Swiss Ball. This gave me much better range of motion.
13. Side-to-side Push-Ups: 20reps. +4reps. By this time, my chest, arms and shoulders were in a state of PUMPAGE! These push-ups just pushed it more.
14. Pour Flys:15reps/5kgs. +3reps/same. Better dumbbells which means better form.
15. Side-Leaning Tricep Extensions: 15reps/7.5kgs. +3reps on each side/same. Usually, I would be almost burned out, but I felt really good, hence the additional reps.
16. One-Arm Push-Ups: 16reps. +2reps. I was really happy to get +2reps here.
17. Weighted Circles: 40reps/2kgs. Same. But today, I didn't fade at the end, I held on to the finish.
18. Throw the Bomb: 15reps/7.5kgs. +3reps/same. Normally, this moves marks the last full rep move. I usually faded after this move, but today. No fading, just pushing... HARD!
19. Clap or Plyo Push-Ups: 20reps. +5reps. Again, very happy to be able to up my previous number by 5.
20.Slo-Mo Throws: 15reps/4kgs. +3reps/+.75kgs. Again, with the better dumbbells, my form was much cleaner. But very tough move.
21. Front-to-Back Tricep Extensions: 16x2reps/6.25kgs. +8reps total/+1.25kgs. I usually really struggle with this move, but not today. Felt much stronger.
22. One-Arm Balance Push-Ups: 16reps. +2reps. Powered through this move. Everything was burning.
23. Fly-Row Presses: 16reps/7.5kgs. +4reps/Same. This move just killed me. Got the most brutal Pump and BURN. I was hoping that 7.5kgs would feel light, but the latter half of the move, I was really feeling it in the shoulders.
24. Dumbbell Cross-Body Blows: 25x2reps/7.5kgs. Same. I thought this move was for the shoulder, but it felt more like a shoulder move. I still wanted to get a little more on the chest, so I added a bonus.
24+. Green Band Alternating Upper Cuts: 50reps. First time to do this on this routine, but I just wanted to really activate my chest. And this IS the move for that. PUMPED UP!!!
Such a great routine, and forgive the repetitiveness, but the PUMP & BURN were AWESOME!
I wanted to give my abs a little rest today, so no abs. So I moved right into the Splits and I had the time, so I extended a lot of the stretches. The Flow was Par. Felt good.
In the end, I torched a solid 820kcals. Good way to finish out the resistance for the week.

In the end, I torched a solid 820kcals. Good way to finish out the resistance for the week.
