Day 2 - plyometric cardio circuit, p90x shoulders and arms, ab ripper

So yesterday I didn't do Insanity- not because of laziness, but because I totally tweeked something through my shoulder and neck. Gave it a rest day yesterday, and got a nice massage from Eric and I think that helped a lot. It still hurts today, but it's okay enough to use it. So I'll just skip my rest day on Sunday - and use it from yesterday instead. :)

Also, I'm really excited to get moving on getting pretty again. Saw a pic of me on my cruise... I HATE MY LEGS. SO let's get these bad boys toned!

Monday Eric and I went swimming. The tri is 1.5k swim or .98 mile or about 1700 yards. I was able to swim 200 yards in six minutes. I'm going to keep track of my time and try and get better and better. I have a long way to go. Good thing it's not until July. :)

Talked to Molly yesterday and she wants to start running on Saturday. :) Leg... you better be good. I think I need a new routine of icing after running. I think that might help a lot in terms of feeling my leg hurt or not. We'll see.

Okay, now to all my readers...biggest question!!! In p90x, you do three weeks of the same arms, and then a rest, and then three weeks of new arms, etc. BUT, Friday was always back and legs - with the extra pull-ups. But I'm not concerned about doing weights on my legs, just for my arms. SOOOO... do I just do a bunch of pull-ups? OR, because Insanity is only 60 days, should I just do the first arm day, then the next arm day, then on friday pick up the first arm day again, and then monday would be the second arm day, etc etc. So like on Friday I would do chest and back again, monday would be shoulder and arms, then wednesday would be chest and back again, and then friday shoulder and arms again? Then I'd just do that until it was three sets of two, then switch to the next set of arms. What do you think? HOPE IT MAKES SENSE!! :)

  2. I say you just do a constant rotation so what you said here, ". . . I just do the first arm day, then the next arm day, then on friday pick up the first arm day again, and then monday would be the second arm day, etc etc."
