P90x Day 17: Shoulders & Arms + Ab Ripper X


 So today I actually had a nice lie in, and didn't get up out of bed until I had to. I was super lazy today before work. I waited until I got home to do my workout, don't really know why, it was just one of those days that I couldn't be bothered getting out of bed at all.

So I began with Ab Ripper as usually, it was slightly better but not easy. I still struggle more towards the end of the entire workout.

P90x Day 10: Shoulders & Arms + Ab Ripper X

Like usual I started my workout with Ab Ripper X, it wasn't as hard as last time but I still found it murder on my Ab area. I still stuck with doing 15 reps of each workout which seems to be begin going well.

Shoulders and arms didn't go that well. It took a lot out of me, I really struggled with a few of the moves especially the flip-grip twist ones, those were murder. I upped my weights to 3.5 a boy did I feel the difference. As I said I did struggle but I felt like I could cope with the added weight as long as I kept my mind blank and only concentrate on what I was doing.

Update For the Week

So I haven’t posted anything in a little while, and to tell you the truth I didn't have enough time. I didn't even have enough time to do my work out the past two days. I’ve got some sort of cold also which has had me in bed whenever I've not been at work. Even at work I was sluggish and couldn't be bothered doing anything. Something that would take me a hour to do during a normal shift took me my whole shift to do. The reason that I still went into work I that I can afford to take any more sick days.

So today is pay day and I really couldn’t be bothered to go any were, or doing anything. However when I woke up this morning, I realized that my nose jewelery had come out during the night and I couldn’t find my other one to put in. So I got ready and went away to the nearest piercing place to get a new one. Got back home and the damn thing won’t go it. It’s already closed up, and I'm not in the mood to be forcing it in, it’s bleeding too much just gently putting it. So I am really pissed off at that.

When I was out I finally managed to get to Holland and barrettes and purchased some whey protein, it’s this one here. I got the banana flavour, because I like banana milkshake and I’m not too keen on chocolate or strawberry. They did have cookies and cream but wasn’t too sure about that one either I also got a bottle which was a fiver, wasn't really expecting it to cost that much but well. To try it I first mixed it with water but it doesn't taste nice with the water so tomorrow I’ll try it with milk and see how it tastes. It says on the back you can mix it with juice or yogurt but that should kind of disgusting.

Ok so you keep asking so I took really quick photos just there to shut you guys up while I get better ones done, the flash on my phone sucks!!! As you can probably see. You can't really see everything but you'll all just have to deal with it just now.

So I'm off to go do Shoulders & Arms, Ab Ripper X and maybe even Yoga, I’ll see how I feel after shoulders & arms.

P90x Day 3: Shoulders & Arms + Ab Ripper X

When I woke up this morning my muscles that I used on Mondays workout for Chest & back were sore so I was a bit anxious about doing this workout because it looked like I would need to use those muscles again.

Like before I started off with Ab Ripper X, I didn't expect myself to be any better since Monday and I wasn't disappointed it was just as hard. I still only managed 10 of each exercise but I'm quite pleased with that, just glad that I could in fact do 10 of each with my muscles being so sore.

I then moved on to Shoulders & Arms and I quite enjoyed this, its my favourite workout so far. I enjoyed all the different moves, Some were easy some were hard and I had to rewind the video a few times just to make sure I was doing it the right way. I managed to do 15 reps of each and 16 reps on the ones he said. some of them I really struggled from the 10 onwards mark so Ill need to see about what weights I'm using and some I think ill need to add more onto. The thing is I only have two spindle things (don't really know what they are called) so it will be difficult stopping and changing the weight on each. This is why I was wanting to get resistance bands but unfortunately there just too expensive just now.

Well thats me for today, Im off for a shower and something to munch.Looking forward to Yoga X tomorrow.
