Calm Down

So the back issue passed apparently without incident however I was unable to really push myself as hard as I wanted this week. After Family Day off coaching I did a tuesday workout that I can’t really remember but I think was a P90X2 whole body affair. Wednesday was bootcamp and we did a cardio abs session similar to the last one but with variations I will have to embellish on next time. Thursday I did another P90X2 workout of PAP Lower, a workout I had never done before and which I enjoyed but it made my already sore ITB even worse. Today I took off, partly because I was sore but also because there were really no kids to do gymnastics conditioning with. It’s been a tough week with the threat of back spasms or a lengthy downtime hanging over my head but I hope starting tomorrow I can turn up the wick and get back to the serious work of keeping myself in shape.

R9D75 – Bootcamp 3.7.1 Cardio Abs

I have been thinking that the cardio workout could be shorter and harder. That would leave extra time for abs every 3rd class which I think is a great idea. So that in mind, last night we did the revamped cardio class and added some abs stuff throughout and an extra section at the end. I think it went well, I know my abs are feeling it today! It’s not a rip off of Shaun T’s cardio abs, but now I realize the name is the same maybe I should go back and do that workout again and see if I can pick up some tips ๐Ÿ˜‰
