This is actually a tardy update from last week before I went to NYC for the weekend. Technically, this past week was supposed to be a "recovery" period...but all that really means is that there is no weight/resistance training. The cardio, flexibility and core workouts, however, are still in full effect!
Anyway, despite my whining, I actually haven't even done any P90x workouts for the last few days due to my NY excursion...but I figured the ridiculous amounts of walking I did there helped to compensate a bit. Before I left though for the Big Apple, I got to do a new workout routine for the first time in 3 weeks: Core Synergistics.
This was surprisingly difficult! Actually, it was the first workout in a while where I was fairly frequently having to pause the tape so that I could regain enough composure to continue. Some of that stems from lack of familiarity...but some of that is just because it was so stinking hard. Basically, the whole workout revolves around hammering your core (essentially your body's midsection/torso area) for an hour. The exercises change quickly, and the breaks in between are short! And a lot of the moves were not entirely natural feeling...like the bizarre sort of stuff we would have done in wrestling practices back in high school ("walking push-ups", I'm looking at you!). But it was good to have something new to stir things up a little bit. Makes me somewhat look forward to next week when there'll be two new resistance workouts to do.
Well, normally I would give an exercise-by-exercise breakdown of the workout. But you know what? I'm tired. So..not gonna happen. I'll give another update when I do the next new workout in a few days.
Btw, today marks Day 27. Almost 1/3 of the way through! Will maybe post some progress pics soon.
