Weekend recap

Alrighty. Kinda had a hectic weekend, but I still followed through with my P90X. Here's the highlights:

Friday was the first mandatory stretch day. (All other stretch days are technically optional, as they happen on the seventh "rest" day of the workout week.) As with any other stretch day, it was a breeze.

Saturday was the second core synergistics day of the recovery week. The first time I did it, I thought it would be my favorite workout. This time around, I know it. It's so much fun. I especially like the part where you don't repeat any of the exercises.

Yesterday was Yoga. It's still a very rough first half, but my thighs are starting to get used to the static burn from the countless lunge positions of Crescent Pose, Warrior 1 and 2, Reverse Warrior and Runner's Pose. (There are others, but those are the ones that get repeated over and over.) While core synergistics is my new favorite, I still love the second half of Yoga more than anything else.

Today was the last day of the recovery week. As with all other seventh days, it was a stretch. Nice and simple.

Tomorrow starts "Phase 2." In a nut shell, I do a different exercise on Tuesday and Thursday than I was doing previously. Exercises that target specific muscle areas as opposed to the general workout I was getting before.

As I mentioned before, the 11th is my 30-day mark. I will be posting my before and milestone photos that day. I still haven't looked at my before photos, despite Ashleigh's insistence. I hope to be surprised. Ashleigh says I will be, but I'm cautious to get my hopes up.
