Remainder of Week 1

Wow....long week!  Well Thursday i did the P90X Yoga workout, which consists of 90 minutes of some serious yoga.  Its not the nice happy stretching yoga...no..its mostly sunsalutations, with some balancing poses and core work to round it out.  I also wek on a nie bike ride after all the crazy storms finished up in area.

Friday I did the P90X legs and back routine.  OUCH OUCH OUCH.  seriously ouch.  Ok, no more complaining.  The pull up bar I bought didn't fit in my doorway, so i used the resistance bands for the pull ups and chin ups.  I am really glad they show you these moves in the dvd with both the bar and the bands.  I tried to start the Ab RipperX (p90x's ab workout) afterwords but couldn't pull it off.  That dvd actually uses the legs a bit too and mine were fried.  I ended up doing stuff around the house and then doing Ab Ripper X right before bed. 

Saturday I woke up early to do Kenpo. I was REALLY sore, but luckily this mostly a cardio routine and after i got the leggs warmed up they didn't hurt too much. Althoguh i did kickboxing (and thus can skip Kenpo) I decided to do it anyway...mainly to see what it is about.  Its a good workout, but i actually thinking kicking and punching the heavy bag at the Y is a better workout.  After that, Andy and I went down to Cannon Falls and kayaked the Cannon river with some friends.  It was a blast.  The instant we got in we got drenched from some awesome rapids.  The rest of the ride was smooth but still a good time.  Once we got to Welch, we exited the river, through our kayaks on our friend's truck (who had our bikes in the back), grabbed our bikes and headed back to Cannon Falls on the Cannon Valley bike trail.  What a day!  Got three good workouts and had a blast with some great people.  After we got home we visited with the neighbors and then watched movies on the couch. 

So today is my rest day, and I took advantage of that.  Its gorgeous outside....but I mostly worked on cleaning up the house and finishing up some projects.  For P90X on Sundays you can choose to rest or do a stretching DVD....I chose to rest my sore body and use the spare time to fold laundry  :)    Back at it tomorrow!
