Training Log: Day 6 of 99, Shoulders and Arms, Cardio X

Just read UltraMarathon Man – great book to read before you go workout (makes it seem REAL easy)

Felt better today (ate better yesterday).  Shoulders and Arms did burn like heck, but it still remains my strongest bodyparts.   As a note to all P90Xers, I modify my routine to include more weightlifting at the expense of some of the flexibility routines and Leg workout.  Not that I ignore Flexibility, but I simply cannot perform the Yoga exercises at this point, so it seems less than productive.  I just don’t think you can get the proper muscular growth only working those bodyparts once a week – so I make sure I get them in twice.  Also, since I have started a running program, and do Plyo and Cardio and Back (twice), the Legs and Back workout seemed the likely culprit to go.  Instead of Yoga, at this point, I make sure I include the X Stretch on Sundays.  We’ll see if it works…

Followed up Shoulders and Arms with Cardio X, which is a great second workout.  It incorporates some Yoga (the easier moves), Kenpo, Plyometrics, and some Core work.  Plus, it’s only about 45 minutes long,  so I got both these workouts done in about an hour and a half.
