p90x week 4, Core synergystics

Core Synergystics was fun.  I enjoyed the work out.  The key to the workout is to focus on keeping your core muscles tight.  Due to my keeping my core muscles tight I think I made the 60 minutes successful.  I also managed to pass a little gas every now and again……

During p90x core synergistics’ I worked up a good sweat, but didn’t feel the burn in my core, just my shoulders.  Then I sneezed about twenty minutes after I finished.  Let’s say my abs haven’t recovered from my sneeze yet.  They are so sore.  I’ve done several yoga inspired stretches throughout the day, but just feel as if I’ve worked out a muscle for the first time.

I knew this week would be good for me, I just didn’t plan on being this sore by Tuesday.

I also posted some updated pictures.

p90x week 4. Relaxation week?

Today marks the first “rest” week.  In the exercise manual there is a disclaimer at the beginning of week 4.  It says week 4 is meant to relax your muscles, unless your midsection is out of shape and then it could possibly be harder than the previous 4 weeks.  I’m thinking that the previous three weeks haven’t been too bad other than the days I do ab ripper x, my mid section is my week link.  So this week is going to be quite the experience.

Today is Yoga X day.  I’m at a conference all day in Salt Lake so I’ll be doing this late tonight.

Week 3 Recap: I’m ready to step up the arms and shoulder game.  I feel like my legs are getting in better shape and that my whole body is slimming down.  I would like to start adding some size to my arms and shoulders now.  I’m going to do an official weigh in on Wednesday and take ‘rest’ week photos.  I’ll try and post photos by Wednesday.

How is everyone else doing?  By week 4 were you dead tired, or did you feel energized like I did?
