X2 Ab Ripper and Crossfit

I had quite a lot of time today to do an extra workout. So, instead at first I did X2 Ab Ripper, then did some light reps of workouts from P90X Plus Upper Body. After that did a short WOD of Crossfit of 5 rounds of 10 turkish get ups (5 on left, 5 on right), then 100 jump ropes. The WOD seems easy,  but by the time you hit the third round is when you start to feel the tiredness. Glad the WOD wasn't too heavy, it was light. The lighter the WOD, the more rounds needed to feel the burn.

Crossfit 50s

All I can say is right now my core is super sore and feeling beat up good. Normally what makes me go thru this pain is when I do Super Crunches in Tabada. Today's workout for Crossfit started with a 1.5 mile run as a warm up. After that here is the WOD:


1) pull ups
2) kettle bell swings
3) air push-ups
4) ball cleans 
5) knees to chest on bar

Each workout done at 50 reps each. Normally when I'm told to do knees to chest, I do toes to bar instead, but due to that being the last one. I stayed with knees to chest - this is the one that definitely killed my core. Tomorrow is going to be a really sore day.

Sunday's P90X Shoulders and Arms

Because I did a short Shoulders and Arms workout this past week. I decided to do the regular P90X Shoulders and Arms workout today after doing the X2 Ab Ripper as a warm up. Definitely a good workout to do on a Sunday.

Saturday night run

It's a weekend! But the last two days were my rest days. Definitely hit up a short run today.

X2 Shoulders and Arms

Usually, when I only have a very short timeframe to do a workout. X2 Shoulders and Arms works best. It's just 7 workouts in 3 rounds. Since, I did a resistance workout yesterday along with X2 Ab Ripper. Today, I did regular P90X Ab Ripper as it's not advisable to work out your abs everyday. Regular Ab Ripper is less intense and lighter for me. I did X2 Ab Ripper two days in a row before, the pain recovery after was great, but Tony Horton is right, we shouldn't do that in a row. So, I just prefer switching the next day to regular Ab Ripper if needed.

X2 Chest and Back on a Tuesday

I love doing X2 workouts of phase 2. Today I started it with X2 Ab Ripper and X2 Chest and back. The fun part of this workout is doing the push-ups on the medicine balls. Most especially the 4 medicine ball push-up. Eventually as it gets to the ending of the workout I started to die out in my pull-ups. The odd part, after I was done with the whole workout. I felt like working out some more in the gym with other types of regiments. Therefore, did some arm curls as a end treat of finishing my workout.
