Light day to Challenging day

Yesterday's workout was short and simple, so my trainer made today's own more challenging:

Warmup:
Just squats as much as I can, and some burpees.

WOD: 5 rounds
15 squats with arm holding barbell (barbell is 45lbs, unless there is a female bar at 35lbs is fine, i used a 
           metal pole instead for substitution)
10 jump box (height of box was maybe 2ft high this time, higher than usual)
5 pull ups
7 kettle bell thrusts

Time ended: 11:33

This workout definitely worked me out, especially since for pull-ups there was no assist at all. 

Short 5 rounds

Warm-Up:
100 Jump Ropes
10 burpees
10 squats
400m run

WOD for the day: 5 rounds timed at 6:09 finish.
Round 1
- 20lb medicine ball hands up squat 
- 100 jump ropes
Round 2
- 20lb medicine ball hands up squat 

- 90 jump ropes
Round 3
- 20lb medicine ball hands up squat 

- 80 jump ropes
 Round 4
- 20lb medicine ball hands up squat 

- 70 jump ropes
Round 5
- 20lb medicine ball hands up squat 

- 60 jump ropes

The push for 25s!

Today's workout P90X2 Ab Ripper and regular P90X Shoulders and Arms. Unfortunately, the 20lbs dumbbells in gym is still missing. So, again I used 15lbs, which I really dislike. So, in one of the workouts in Full Supination Curls I did the 25lbs.I think I'll have to now aim to get that heavy now. I have my own 20s at home, but such a hassle to bring it to the gym. The push for 25s has now begun. Technically, it started this week, but those were bench presses.

AMRAP

As Many Rounds As Possible (AMRAP) was today's workout. Basically, did a workout for 10 minutes.

Warmup:
Same as yesterday's but no Ab Ripper.

WOD:
5 burpees
10 push-ups
15 air squats
100m sprint run

Soreness: Totally feeling the back from yesterday's workout. Definitely feeling the glutes after today's AMRAP was done.

Food/Meals for the day:
Bfast: 4 egg whites, 1 yolk, hummus-salmon sandwich.
Shake: Nitropeak
Lunch - Salad with chicken, tomatoes, cucumber, almonds, golden raisins. Grapes, hummus-salmon sandwich
Snack - Banana and grapes
Dinner: Chicken Burger and fruits
Shake: Casiene with milk

Felt like logging down all the intake of food taken today.

SUMO High Pulls!

Did something new for Crossfit Mondays - SUMO High Pull Thrusts. It's similar to using the dumbbells in P90X but termed as "Upright Rows". Instead for Crossfit, you focus on core squats with pulling the kettle bell to your chin, but arms going up are pretty much same position as upright rows.

Did an extra run for my warm-up as it's been awhile I've last ran, and also need to start train in running for upcoming half-marathon.

Warm-up:
P90X2 Ab Ripper
100 Jump Ropes
10 burpees
Lunges
800m Run

Crossfit WOD 3 rounds: (time: 12:11)
1) 35 lbs - 10 Sumo High Pull Thrusts
2) 15 Box Jumps
3) 400m runs

* Short WOD, but quite lengthy after the first round.

Did a few Kipley Pull-Ups as well after WOD was done and regular pull-ups, just so I can work on my back more. 

Upper body again..

Workout of the Day: X2 Ab Ripper and X2 Shoulders and Arms, but with chest additions.

For X2 Ab Ripper, I did a change in the Tornado. Instead of going clockwise 10 times and vice versa. My boyfriend read in a magazine that doing an infiniti sign from left to right is harder and more effective. Safer for your back as well, and makes the exercise more even. It's basically doing the Tornado but writing the number "8" in air with your legs, basically "infiniti sign" since it's left to right.

For Shoulders and Arms, in between a workout I did some chest workouts on bench or on stability balls. My new favorite for chest is, have a medicine ball on each leg for balance, and use a medicine ball with handles to push again your chest for the pushup.

It's nice to add additional things to your workouts. Muscle confusion!

Supplements for the day: Nitro-Peak, X-Plode, and Casein.

Upper body with the endo trauma

Today's workout: P90X2 Ab Ripper with P90X Plus Upper Body.

I kind off stayed in a light workout due to that time of the month just so that I don't strain my body. Especially, since it was my first time after 2 years not having my menstruation due to Seasonique. Last month I've gotten off the Seasonique since I'm currently testing to see how much of my workouts can help battle the symptoms of Endometriosis.

Also, someone at the gym took the 20lbs dumbbells. There's only one set, and somehow they were no where to be found. Got stuck with 15s which was just too light for some of the workouts, but was doable for others.

3 long rounds

As always, Tuesday is Crossfit day. Normally, my trainer lets me do 4-5 rounds of the WOD which will last for 8-14 minutes. Today, however, was just 3 rounds and my time was at 15 minutes and 59 seconds.

Warm-Up:
100 jump ropes
10 burpees
400 meter run
lunges

Crossfit WOD (3 rounds):
10 kettle bell thrust
10 jump boxes
lunges with 10 pounds weights (round weights)
400 meter run

Another Tabada...

Finally back to Crossfit mode after a long trip! One thing I love about Crossfit, I am unsure of what the workout will be for the day. Today was Tabada! My second time doing this workout. Basically, as mentioned before it's a workout for 14 minutes total, 3 different types of workout, each workout for 4 min-20 second for reps then 10 second break. After a workout is done, you get a one minute break then go on to the next workout.

Today's Tabada:
1) Jump Pull Up
2) Kettle Bell Thrust
3) Super Crunches 

Base, Back, and Chest

The last week of inconsistency. Missed a day in this world due to traveling and major jetlag. Finally, a workout at the end of the week. I usually dread Fridays going to the gym, so sometimes I substitute it to Crossfit. However, as I'm still recovering from a jetlag, I pushed myself to the gym today. Did P90X2 Ab Ripper as for usual warmup. Then worked on P90X2 Base and Back but with a substitution of chest workouts in first round utilizing the bench or pushups. Here's the workout regiment for the day:

Round 1
Bench chest press
Squat Jump Box
Wide arms bench chest press
Chair Jump Squats
Military Bench Press or Military Push ups
Plyo Lunge Press
Decline Push-Ups
Surfer Spin
Pushup on Medicine Ball
Jack in the Box Jump Knee Tucks

Round 2 (Original P90X2 workout)
No Kip Pull ups
Squat Jump Box
Wide Leg Close Grip Chin Up
Chair Jump Squats
Switch Grip No Kip Pullups
Plyo Lunge Press
V Pull Ups

Surfer Spin
Kippy Cross Fugly Pull Ups
Jack in the Box Jump Knee Tucks


Next week will be a full week of workouts. Can't wait!

Sunday rare day!

Due to traveling schedule and an inconsistent workout regiment. Sunday was a day to workout. Normally, if I missed a Friday or Saturday workout and I'm available on Sundays, I would end up doing a light workout of running, kenpo, or swimming. But since I'm here in Washington and showing a friend some moves to do. P90X Ab Ripper and P90X Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps it is.

However, because I've done P90X Ab Ripper too long and I've upgraded to P90X2 Ab Ripper. I tend to do the P90X version on the BOSU balls. Really helps the core work  more.

Super-Sport

The plan was just to do the usual workout. However, as I traveled to Washington, the gym nearby me was a Super-Sport gym. It had a pool, basketball court, sauna, and basically a fully equipped gym that is hard to find. Jump ropes, kettle balls, stability malls, and etc. So, instead I started with the 7P90X2 Ab Ripper, did a mini light cross fit, then ended with X2 Shoulders and Arms but did 2 sets of it instead of 3 sets. I didn't push for the 3 sets, as I did the mini cross fit to substitute it.

Here was the mini cross fit WOD: This should last for just 2 min or so.
3 ball slams
5 kettle bell thrusts
7 kettle bell deadlift squats
30 jump ropes

I have to give props to my dear girl friend for working out with me today, she is the first one I've trained personally. Usually, my significant other is with me on P90 days. Crossfit is usually training from my friend that is certified and I've saved the workouts in the event I travel, I can do something on my own.

Jetlag!

My homeland is 17 hours ahead in time zone with California. Just flew in yesterday. Slept at midnight woke up at 4am (in which is time to go to bed at home), but somehow I'm awake I guess from all the sleep and confusion my body had gone thru with the flights. Couldn't go back to sleep, so I ended up gyming it at 8am. Surprisingly, I was wide awake for an X2 Ab Ripper and the P90X2 Chest and Back. Unfortunately, I had no protein shake for after workout on hand. Thank goodness a Subway was nearby, was just disappointed they weren't serving breakfast in that location.

Last one for the week

Just another usual P90X day for Shoulders and Arms along with X2 Ab Ripper. The P90X2 workout for Shoulders and Arms is shorter and more focused on the core, plus a fat burner. With regular P90X, you get more buff-ness as you can work with heavier weights.

Chest and Back.

Normally, this is a Monday workout for me, but due to Crossfit. I've moved this to Wednesdays and alternate it with Shoulders and Arms. Worked on regular P90X instead of doing the P90X2 workout. Here's a link to worksheets in case it's needed.

I don't normally log my reps no more, as instead I just go heavier than the last time or stay with my 15lbs. Today, I stayed with 20lbs. Due to a crazy schedule, my workouts this week is just every other day instead of the usual 6 days of the week schedule.
