core syn

Had a great workout tonight. Core syn ...loved it...I was able to keep up the whole time and really pushed myself...the hardest part of it was the lunge kickback/curl/press/reverse curl......that gets the heart rate up..what a great full body movement though...presume I burned some calories..
have an early morning date with my workout clothes at 630 tomorrow morning..going for a short run before eating...to see if I can burn some extra calories...:) still eatign the same..just hopeing to throw in some more cardio to burn the extra fat...starting to feel in shape...monday night went out and did sprints ranging from 20-50 yards at the soccer field ...and it felt pretty good ...its great what you can do to your body...you can push it to limits you never thought possible...you are your worse enemy!!!!! you just have to have postive thoughts...instead of I cant...its to hard...i dont have time...have good thoughts...I can...I can push through...I will make time.....I wrote down a goal of sept 1 today to be at 10% bodyfat...my goal reads like this.

"Sept. 1
I'm so happy and thankful now I am less than 10% bodyfat. My 30 in jeans fit great on my slim waistline. I'm super lean with a rock hard six pack!"
Made a computer sticky note on my computer and Iphone! Made a dialy reminder 4x a day to pop up on my phone....made the sticky note stay in right hand part of the page. I will ready this all day long... Just like in sports......positive imagery is the best way to go! Until later....keep pushing play and see where you can push yourself

measurements

well took my measurements this morning and showed a two gain pound of muscle...and only less then a .5 pounds of fat! not a great week...means I ate to much!!!!
the good thing is gaining lean body mass is always a good thing. In the mirror im looking a lot more muscular which is nice!!
however, my overall goal is to retain lbm and lose a great amount of fat weight...im still about 16 % bodyfat and I wanted to be around 12 by the end of july. I still have time to do that.
This is a recovery week and next week im going to change things up and not do all of p90x ..
im going to do full body weight training 3x per week..with plyo and yoga still on tue/thur/ and add early morning pre eating cardio sessions of 30-40 minutes...
sat. will be kenpox
with sunday a total off day...
I will do 2-3 sets with no rest in between exercises using 8 compound movements with pullups/dips at the beg of the circut training..hoping to get the heart rate real up with no rest and prepare myself for insanity coming in july!!!!

REally starting to make all of this a habit and am looking forward to what I can do with my body before the end of july.....

plyometrics to the next level!

well...i decided today that I'm going to hit up the new workout coming out in july. My fitness is starting to get decent again and I'm hoping to keep losing bodyfat over the next few weeks. so I made up my mind to up my workout tonight to see how far I Could push my body. Took the work outside to the soccer field. Put some cones up about 20 yards apart. Did a typical soccer warmup that takes about 8-10 minutes with light stretching...then into the plyo workout. I have done it so many times that I pretty much know it from heart:) i cut the rep time t 20 sec...but after each 4 part round (usually repeats it self) I threw in 5 all out sprints...with a light...i mean light..jog/walk back to cone...then went back into plyo...talk about hard....my heart rate was near 180 the whole time! to say the least it kicked my butt...but..i was able to workout for 50 mins. this way...my sprint at the end was more like a jog...but I pushed myself...going to go for a nice walk in the morning with luca to help with the soreness that I already know im going to have...looking forward to seeing if shawn t can whip me into even better shape...
i must be crazy:)
