P90X Phase 2: Week 5, Day 1 Complete

Well, the recovery week kind of sucked. I was sick. I didn’t complete all the workouts. But, I rested, so I guess that’s a recovery.

Today I ran for the first time in several weeks. I picked up with Week 3 of Couch to 5K. It felt really good to run, especially since it’s getting cold outside. Here’s what it looked like:

Walk 5 minutes

Run 90 seconds

Walk 90 seconds

Run 3 minutes

Walk 3 minutes

Run 90 seconds

Walk 90 seconds

Run 3 minutes

Walk 5 minutes.

Later this afternoon, I did Ab Ripper X, and then completed Chest, Shoulders and Triceps. This workout kills me. I have to do many of the pushups on my knees. Also, my dvd is messed up and I’m afraid it may not work much longer. Luckily I have it almost memorized…

I’ve decided I will do the following for phase 2:

- Keep better count of my calories.

- Add cardio by running 3 times a week (weight days).

Wish me luck!

I love fresh starts.
