Tried doin the ab ripper after pushin' Legs + back and I wasn't able to do what I did on Wednesday on my last ab ripper. =\, Legs is no joke! Sweatin' like a hog...

That one yoga move where you reach under your leg and grasp your other hand that goes under your leg on the other side is no joke.

 

Fixed.

 

I said F that, Ill try it that move in a month LOL

 

I <3 KenpoX! Hella sweaty but feelin good!

Oh and for recovery drinks... do this

Grape Juice, 10g of protein (usually your scoop in your powder has more, only get 10g's though, maybe half or 1/3rd a scoop). I put some creatine in there.

Maybe sure your grape juice amounts to about 40g's of sugar (pour more if you need to.)

Reason being, recovery drinks are not like protein drinks, designed differently, lotsa research has been done and the 4/1 carb/protein is starting to show best signs of recovery afterwards. Sugars help speed up the carry through of the protein to where your body needs it most.

Try to stay away from OJ, OJ's citric acid slows down digestion.

 

Thanks for the tip! Ill try that as soon as I recover from my sickness... Im gonna have to restart it again.

 

You know I had the exact same problem you did. Everytime I'd start to workout again, in a couple of weeks I was sick. I think it was due to my system trying to recover made me more prone to getting sick... then again, last year I was forced to receive the regular flu shot, and I was sick all over the place... this year I refused to take the flu shot and so far so good...

Eff the government and their good for nothing vaccines!

Anywho, if you are sick... try to workout anyways (i always felt better after the workout) changes your body from being sick to working hard. You should try it, especially if its only a cold.

I did my research on the Recovery drink, Grape Juice seems to digest fast along with whey protein as long as it's a 4/1 carbs/protein ratio. =), don't overload the protein, just slows the recovery.

 

That's terrible advice. Working out when you're sick causes your immune system to lower making you more susceptible to ailments thereby keeping you sick longer. You really need to properly recover first before trying to workout again.

 

Yea, that is the facts, but Iono, when I workout I feel like I sweat it out and recover a lot faster. Maybe it's a mental thing, but I do feel a whole lot better after working out. And after working twice when I started to get sick, helped me stay in rhythm and on during my workouts.

 

Finished week 1 of P90X, only 12 more weeks to go!

or

What the **** did I get myself into?

 

I keep hearing about P90/P90X. what is it?

 

It's a set of DVDs, nutrition, and fitness guide to becoming fit.

 

I'm thinking after the first 90 days (if I still suck at this) I'm just going to do plyo 2x a week, kenpo 2x, cardiox 2x + 3x abripper. To bring down my weight

 

It's a 90 day at home fitness routine and diet plan. You do 6 workouts a week for 90 days and they are intense workouts.

After just the first week I can tell you it's got great bang for your buck potential. It's a good alternative to cross training.

(the P90X promotional stuff is corny but it really is serious business)

 

That's a lot of cardio. You might not be able to maintain all of your muscle with a program like that. And no Yoga X?

 

Yea, we'll see how my weight goes. I heard by the end of the 2nd phase people are in pretty tip top shape. Only thing is that I haven't been able to complete some of the stuff on the routine, so I'm not able to push as hard as those guys can in the vids to see the bigger difference. I do know I want to get cut though, so that's why I was thinkin hard cardio, I guess I'll figure that out in another couple of months.
