Round 5: Day 9 - Total Body Plus

This is "Mr. Moon," it's harder than it looks.  (That's what she said.)

After we finished working out this morning, Mrs. Gias said that Total Body Plus was always harder than she remembers.  After sweating bullets this morning, I have to agree.

Round 5: Day 5 - Chest and Back + ARX

Pullups, they do a body good.

Chest and Back is one of my favorite P90X workouts, hands down. 

I like that it's all body weight exercises.

I like pushups.

I like pullups.

I like Tony's pep talk at the end.

I like that it was the first P90X video I ever did.

I like that it feels like a truck ran over my chest when I'm finished.

OK, maybe not so much that last one.

Round 5: Day 4 - Fountain of Youth Yoga

Quick, think of an inappropriate caption for this picture. Yeah, didn't take me long either.

This is the first time in a while that we have done some yoga...and you could tell. Although I was already sore from the past few days' workouts I was also pretty tight in my stretches today.  I'm not quite the Stretch Armstrong that Mrs. Gias is, but usually I can at least bend and get to my feet. 

Not today.  I could barely get my hands to reach my shins. 

Round 5: Day 3 - Shoulders and Arms + ARX

It looks like I died and am moving towards the light...

Holy crap I'm sore. 

We've been pushing it pretty hard these first few days of Round 5 and my body is starting to feel it.  For reasons passing understanding my butt feels like I went ice skating and fell on my ass.  Repeatedly.  It hurts to sit down, it hurts to get up, it hurts to do oblique v-ups during Ab Ripper X.  Hopefully a little yoga tomorrow will work out these kinks.

Round 5: Day 2 - Insanity Plyometric Cardio Circuit

Navy shirt, black shorts.  What can I say, I'm a snappy dresser in the morning.

I had delusions of grandure of doing Plyo Max Circuit this morning.  It's basically the same workout we ended up doing but it's about 20 minutes longer and has been known to literally make your heart explode. 

After a brief discussion with Mrs. Gias, she thought it would be a good idea to leave our hearts intact today.  At the end when I had to use a beach towel to wipe up my pool of sweat, I thought she made a good call.

Round 5: Day 1 - Total Body Plus

Hello, old friend.

It's time to start a new round. 

We did day one of a new round this evening and it kicked. My. Ass.  I was sweating bullets at the end.  I could keep up, but boy, did I feel weak.  I don't have much time to post tonight, but I will put something up in the next day or two with our new Round 5 schedule and my goals for the round. 

Should be interesting.

Insanity Pure Cardio

Mrs. Gias said, "it looks like you have three legs." That's what she said. Ha!

Back to a fitness video today.  We've been doing other things, running mostly, this week and this morning we decided to get back to one of our old favorites.  And by old favorites, I mean, heart attack inducing cardio with Shaun T. 

You remember Pure Cardio, right?  It's the one with no breaks where Shaun T mentions that he's nervous for the workout because it's so hard.  So, yeah, good one to start back up on.
