Round 3 / Day 76: Original Turbulence Training Workout B + RKC Get-Ups + P90X Ab Ripper X

I can finally do pistols! (Sort of. I need to hold onto the toes of my upraised leg to keep my balance.)

Round 2 / Day 76: 100 Pull-Ups + 150 Push-Ups

When I woke up at dawn, my sinuses were still congested and my throat was still sore, so I had a decent excuse to skip Ab Ripper X this morning.

Still, I managed to heave myself up and over my pull-up bar 100 times. The first 25 reps were done with an extra 20 pounds chained to my belt, though I lightened my load by 10 pounds for the next 25. I cranked out my last 50 with no added weight, but they felt just as tough (if not more) than my first 25. I also threw in a bunch of push-ups -- the last 30 of which were Atomic Push-Ups performed with my TRX suspension system.

My goal? To work my way up to a full "Angie" CrossFit workout, which consists of 100 pull-ups, 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups and 100 squats -- performed as quickly as possible.

P90X Day 76: Kenpo X

At this point, I'm getting very little out of Kenpo X.

For a while, the addition of dumbbells helped increase the intensity level of the moves, but over the past couple of months, my body has gradually adjusted to the use of weights. It's frustrating to devote an hour to exercise, only to realize that the time wasn't productively spent: My heart's no longer beating out of my chest, and although I broke a (light) sweat during my morning workout, I never had to reach for a towel. I normally sweat buckets, so the relative lack of perspiration is the most telling sign that I'm ready to graduate to a more intense cardio routine. I only have two more Kenpo X sessions before my 90 days are up, but I'm seriously considering whether to switch to Plyo (or even an Insanity workout) instead.
