Round 3 / Day 12: Insanity Max Interval Plyo

That was hard. Not a fan of Power Push-Ups or Level 3 Drills.

Round 2 / Day 12: P90X Core Synergistics

I tried not to pig out last night, but it was still nice to get up early and dive into a full-body workout like Core Syn. I enjoy the various resistance and core-strengthening moves, and the fact that I don't have to do Ab Ripper X today. And even though I'm not a fan of Dreya Rolls, I've discovered that I can pop up with a twisting jump on each rep like Ms. Weber herself. (I look ridiculous, but I'm proud nonetheless.)

P90X Day 12: Legs & Back + Ab Ripper X

M isn't working this week (she reports for hospital duty every other week -- seven days on, seven days off), and joined me for Legs & Back. This being my second time through this particular workout, I was definitely more familiar with the exercises, and the frequent transitions between pull-ups and leg resistance moves went much more smoothly.

What really helped , however, was having a workout partner. I'm finding it much easier to get motivated when my wife is watching me huff and puff my way through wall squats and pull ups. After almost a decade of marriage, I still want to impress her, and not just on those occasions when my plumbing skills are required to unclog the toilet.
