Workout today

 I did 12 surya namaskara today with about 10s of hanging bar exercise after every 2 suryanamskara.

Did 20 min of day 26 full body workout yesterday. Will finish up the rest (done).

Did this yoga for flexibility yesterday. Do want to get back to some poses. I used to be able to do halasana. 

I can tell my core/strength and flexibility are increasing. I was able to lift my head in the chakrasana.

My lunges are getting deeper.

Yoga block for halasana

 

Long time ago I could do halasana and want to be able to get back to it. This yoga block method helped me a bit. It felt good.

Fitness Now

Just learned about Soi Ta-iad fitness village in Phuket, Thailand.
About my own fitness story. I started P90x on alternate weekends about 4 months ago. Reached my first goal of second pre-pregnancy weight.
BMI next.

I started exercising on weekends too, my Achilles heel. Thanks popsugar. That is where I first heard of Muy Thai too.

In P90x3, when I had to do plow which is halasana, I felt nostalgic about the times that I could do it. Did some research and found that, I should learn sarvangasana first.

Fr the last 3 days, have been using the wall for sarvangasana, all that inverted blood feels so good, after a workout in a warm body.

10 minutes of Cardio Abs and then its sweat time. After this pure cardio. I was shooting for 20 mins of it, but the flow of the video is good, I did a few minutes extra. Its almost like a quick dance.

P90X DVD Workout

Day 1- Kenpo Cardio
I moseyed into the gym room, thinking I will do some yoga for my troublesome trapezius muscles which now know how to behave. There were three men ( and no boat ) doing the P90x and I just joined them. I have heard of p90x a long time ago from a colleague.

Day 2 - slept 12 hours from all the awful body pains. I expected to be sore in the morning, but it was about 29 hours after the exercise that I had the body aches.

Day 3 - Kenpo Cardio
Heard about Tony H.

Day 4 - Workout with Tony only up to 30 min
Some research on Tony H. So inspiring.

Day 5 - Killer 10 min ab workout  Didnt last it all. But if 10 min is too short, we can repeat the exercise right.

Day 6 - Kenpo cardio workout - 141lb

Day 7-  Burn 600 Calories in a 60-Minute Workout With Jeanette Jenkins only 34 min of this and 6min on elliptical - 140.5lb
JJ has verve. I enjoyed this workout a lot. I loved how JJ prepares your body first so it gets plaint to do the kicks in the coming moves. She stacks exercises too, so you feel like you ar eprogressing and not taking the easy way out.
slept 10 hours.

Day 8 - Kenpo cardio workout - 139lb
I am wondering what makes a workout work. With martial art based workouts, there/s a mythical enemy/demon may be fat that you are bustin with every move. In so many of the moves the recipient is an imaginary punching bag, but you get it all out. There's a story where you lift your legs and kick at the miscreant in any direction - front, back, side.

I enjoy working out, but beats me why I didnt start this earlier. I have always seen that dilly-dallying exercise doesnt yield results.

The plateaus, oh my goodnes.. its the hysteresis of our bodies. It always seems to know what is the bad weight to go back to. Jettison already.

Its strange, I used to think I dont have time.

Day 9 - Upper body plus abs - 138.3 lb

Could feel the effect in the arms

Day 10 - Cardio, 15 min Ab ripper

Felt too sleepy by 3.30pm

Costco pizza party and weekend. But could feel the core effect through all of it.


Day 11 -  49 min of Core Synergistics 141lb

 Celebratory lunch

8/2/2019
6 months into the M,W, F - P90x or Insanity workout and slowly yoga and pilates added into the weekend, 10 min jump rope in the morning. Down by 12.5 pounds.
Now I can do 12 side plank hip-hops. 20 pushups. hang on the pull up bar for 20s.

What is your fitness game?

I used to be able to do a halasana. I was single then and now I have mommy tummy. When Tony Horton says roll over in P90x3, the middle part of my body has no give. Instead of wincing each day, I thought I will practice. Thats how I adde dyoga and practiced halasana every day. I was able to rollmy body over almost.

I added the 10 min jum rope after reading that Danica pretty intense does exercise twice a day.
