homepic Day 11 – Core cardio and Balance.  I decided to switch things up and go with this rather than the yoga this week.  I was wanting to through it into the routine and this was a good as any day to do it. Felt great.  It had been some time so really enjoyed it.  Definitely different pace than the P90x Yoga X or the much shorter Patience yoga but for the standpoint of a general what I would call a mid-week recovery workout worked perfect for me.  You’ll find that I’ll change things up from time to time through out the program depending on how things are going and how I feel.  Love having so much variety on hand to be able to mix it up with all types of workouts.  From the insane pace of Insanity to the booty workout’s from Brazilian butt lift.  There is something for everyone.

Day 12 – Legs and Back  / Run (4.x miles)  I started the morning with a 4.45 mile run.  Felt awesome. Finally getting my playlist in order to match up for a 7 – 8 mile run.  Keep tweaking as I get longer and adjusting the order some to make sure I'm keeping the pace as I want it. It’s been fun with all the tinkering.  Overall the runs have been getting better and better I feel.  I do think I need to stretch more.

Legs and back that night at my usual ‘bat’ time workout.  Now I will say that it wasn’t as strong/intense as I would of liked.  I did go heavier with the weights.  I’m wondering if it played in part due to the running in the morning and taking something out of my legs. Not sure.  But I got through it, and was very happy that I didn’t stop.  Pressed play.

Day 13  - Kenpo Cardio Plus/ Chalean Extreme Burn it off – Love doing the P90x Kenpo workout.  Never fails to get a great workout, heart-rate up and solid calorie burn.  I continue to use ankle weights and weighted gloves with most of the cardio workouts now. some it is tough so will vary depending on which one.  I’ve decided to put on the wish list a weighted vest. :).  Should really make things interesting down the road.  Won’t get for a while but will be fun. 

CE Burn it off did this with the wife during her workout time.  We had a BLAST.  She is doing awesome with sticking to her workout plan and slowly making changes in her journey to new found health!  Here to help her reach her milestones! You can also follow her journey @ her site.

Day 14 – Rest day/ Basketball  My weekly basketball is tonight.  Only a couple more weeks left. I’m going to miss it that is for sure. I’ve really enjoyed the past 4ish months.  The new found cardio endurance from Insanity, and the running has really allowed me to get in there and play some fun defense. It really is my only ‘benefit’ i bring to the table. lol. I really can’t shoot for squat.  Throw a pick here and there to get a guy open and that is the extend of my ‘skillz’.  But it is fun, another workout.

So are you really enjoying what you are doing now? are you getting in motion at least 3 times a week? Have you found something that you enjoy to get you down the right track of getting healthy for yourself and your family.  Remember, you don’t only affect yourself. You are affecting the lives of your children and others around you.  it really is contagious. 

Both exercise and nutrition side.  they each play a crucial role. But you have to start.  Start slow, but just start.  Press play, get outside, take a walk, whatever it takes.
