Day 4 - Yoga X - Week 1

Aaron - Current Weight 137

What can I say about Yoga X ... I LOVE IT! Its probably my favorite or second favorite as I also love plyo. It makes you sweat like a mofo but you come away feeling so relaxed yet energized. Although the one part I'm not a huge fan of is the yoga belly 7 especially after having just done ab ripper last night urgh my abs were killing me. I feel like I did pretty good with most of the balance poses for the first week, I mean I definitely wasn't able to hold all of them as long as Tony and everyone but for the most part I felt pretty good about it. I'm still feeling pretty tight in my shoulders and arms from yesterdays but not too bad averall.

As for ab ripper I increased my reps from 15 per exercise to 20. I'm still not even close to being able to do everything at 25 but I'll work my way up to it. I feel like I have been doing pretty good at my diet as well I've been trying to eat lots of protein especially before and after my workouts. I'm coming in somewhere around 150-170 grams of protein a day. Also I've been weighing my self at night after my work out but have now switched to the mornings as Melanie has informed me that "I'm cheating" by doing it right after dinner, so that's why I've lost a pound.

As far as soreness goes I'm doing pretty good today much better than yesterday thats for sure. Definetly looking forward to yoga tonight so that I can stretch out some very tight muscles.

Day 2 - Plyometrics - Week 1

Aaron - Current weight is 138

Well last night I did Plyo and it was TOUGH definitely got sweaty. I was going to post my heart rate but I couldn't find the watch part of my heart rate monitor only the chest strap so I will have to look for that so I can measure my avg heart rate and see how I improve. Not much to say other than I still feel REALLY SORE this morning in my chest and back and abs. I am not looking forward to ab ripper tonight!
