How did I miss posting yesterday?

Seriously, how?

Sorry about that.

So yesterday was my first encounter with Core Synergistics. When I pre-watched the video, I thought it looked pretty intense and I expected to crash and burn. When I actually did it, however, everything changed.

It has probably become my favorite routine of the series. Seriously, it was so much fun! I love the discs that don't repeat exercises. The variety keeps me active. It's why I like Kenpo and the legs and back discs.

Core synergistics is, as one would expect, pretty core-intensive. The abs, back and chest get the most attention. Thighs, too, but not to the same degree. Again, I don't know if I might be doing the exercises wrong, because I wasn't feeling the burn where Tony kept indicating.

Today was another favorite, Kenpo. Lots of fun and I'm starting to get the exercise order memorized. Even everything said. Kinda annoying, but that happens with repetition.

Speaking of repetition, one of the big things about P90X that keeps popping up is how it avoids the 'plateau effect' by using 'muscle confusion'. The only thing I see in my upcoming weeks that's different is the shoulder / arms routine changing to an arm / trap kinda thing. The rest of the week is identical. It's a little confusing, but I'm going to keep following the directions because that's what others have done and they get results.
