Another great workout! I'm really impressed with the quality of these videos. Before I started, I was concerned that they would be above my level. However, in every workout they show you a wide range of methods to complete the exercise from expert to novice. They also show you how you can do many of the workouts with resistance bands if you don't have a pull up bar or weights. And the leader, Tony Horton, is entertaining to watch. During this last workout, he asked one of the other people if they had tickets...they said "to what"...to which he replied "the gun show". Love it.
As for the workout, I'm still using bands in place of using a pull up bar. I may be able to do one pull up now, but haven't tried since I did the fit test prior to starting the program. One of the pull up exercises in this workout is called corn cob. When you get to the top, you pull your head to the left and then back to the right before going back down. Kinda looks like the bar is a cob of corn that you are eating. This gives you an extra workout on your arms that I hadn't experienced with just the regular pull up exercises I had done before.
I also noticed that I need 15 pound weights. I had many exercises where 20 pounds was a bit too much but my 10 lb weights was too little. I also need 15's for my new Monday workout, so I'm going to need to get some this weekend.
I gained my 5 Ab Ripper X reps back, so I'm back to my high of 285. Bicycles and Mason Twist are really coming along. Still struggle with Crunchy Frog, Fifer Scissors, Hip Rock & Raise and Pulse Up.
Also, I'm going to try and spice up this blog a bit by having someone take a few pictures or videos while I'm working out. Then I can add them to the blog post to give it a little more flash.
Yoga time!
