Although the so-called storm we were to have has not reached the level we were warned about, it has still rained on and off. It was more in middle of the night, and not much during the day. But even though it hasn't rained, the rain unmotivates me to hit the pool. As the great Pat Powers once said, "Who do we have to prove?". With that, I convinced myself to take the day off. My goal for swimming is in the month of June, so this weekend and the rain win!! :-)
Although swimming can be skipped, my P90X CANNOT!! On today's schedule was Shoulders and Arms along with Ab Ripper X. This workout is a lot of dumbbell use. Pressing, curling, and fly movements working on my deltoid muscles, biceps and triceps. After an hour of this, I had 16 minutes of Ab Ripper X. I love this workout and each time I get more and more out of it. My favorite of the estimated 300 sit ups done are the final Mason (Kayak)Twist. You are seated, hands clasped together and raised feet 4 to 6 inches off the ground. Then you twist your upper torso from side to side, touching knuckles on each side of the floor. We are instructed to do 40 of them, but as we get closer and closer to 40, we push to 50 instead. The burn hurts so bad/good. I loved it and it makes the close of Ab Ripper X feel worth it.
Phrase of the Day/Week - BREATHE!!!
