Sunday:
Cardio:
HIIT
1. 2 minute warm up - light jog.
2. Sprint 15 seconds and recover jog for 45 seconds. 20 sets (20 minutes total).

Have fun Niner! Hands off those princesses!
Saturday: kickboxing, 60 mins, plus 8 minute boxing tabata. ~500 cals. Band played at the wedding ... more calories in than out, I'm sure!
Sunday: cardio & strength:
10 minute circuit warmup.
3 rounds of the following barbell complex:
6x deadlifts
6x power clean
6x front squat
6x push press
6x rear squat
6x bent-over rows
No rest between exercises, and no putting the bar down until an entire round is complete. Just 95 lbs. I didn't think it would be that tough, and it took less than 15 minutes, but oh. my. god. it was a killer.
5 sets flat bench press, pyramid to 5x210 (new personal best) supersetted with dumbbell curls, 5x8 at 35lbs.
Bodyweight split jump squats and hanging leg raises, reverse pyramid 10x, 9x, 8x etc. down to 1x.
Finally 10 minutes spin-bike intervals.

Monday - cardio & strength:
10 minute circuit warmup.
3 rounds of the following barbell complex (again, no rest until a round is complete):
6x snatch-grip deadlifts
6x snatch-grip high pulls
6x hang power snatch (from knees)
6x rear squats (tried overhead, but gave up quickly!)
6x snatch-grip behind-the-neck push press
6x power snatch (from floor)
A wimpy 70 lbs, but really this is intended as cardio more than strength, and I was definitely gasping for air by the end.
5x5 regular deadlifts, pyramided to 230, supersetted with dumbbell tricep extensions, 5x8 at 25 lbs
"Bodyweight countdown" 10x, 9x, 8x etc. of jump squats and push-ups
10 mins. spinning.
Assessment: the weak link is the forearms, which were really burning by the third round of complexes. May need to tweak the order a bit to give them a rest. But I like the fact that it's cardio that doesn't feel like cardio, lol.0 -
Goofy just isn't as fun as princesses, though admittedly, he is more silly.
Nice workout. I like that kind of cardio, too.
Monday: Strength Training.

Food: On target. Barely...peanut butter!0 -
In P90X, those pushups (with feet elevated) are called "decline pushups." Makes sense, but also kind of odd as they actually simulate an incline press.
Mmmm, peanut butter ...0 -
