Week 8 was a little more difficult for us than we had expected, not so much the routines, but life in general. Time and other tasks at hand seemed to steal away our workout time. On top of all that, Sherri managed to be beaten down with a three day headache. It didn't matter how many Tylenol or Aleve she took, the headache just wouldn't subside. Sometimes you just have to slow down, even if you don't really want to.
Although we only got half of our workouts in, the outcome was good for us, because we were able to rest our muscles and give them time to heal. However, it is better if you do not allow to many days to go by between routines as this can set you back a bit.
So that brings us to this week, were we have started phase III of P90X. This phase is a little different in a few way: 1) we are introduced to a couple new routines, 2) we alternate weeks, 3) this phase is actually five weeks longs and 4) no more goofing off, it is time to BRING EVERYTHING you got to each and every routine.
The very first routine in Phase III was Chest and Back, which was new. Since we had not worked out for a few days, we halved this routine instead of trying to complete it the first time. This proved to be a wise decision for us, since the day before we had been tearing apart shelves that were still located in our old storage room, now known as our up and coming workout room.
Although our forearms were very sore, we managed to get through Cardio X this afternoon, which is one of Sherri's favorite routines.
We are a little behind in taking our weight and measurements, but we will be getting to that real soon. So hopefully, we will see some progress there too.
Until we post again...
