    chest and back done, ab ripper done too, felt that last one though, it's not the best I ever did, but we had pizza outside today as we lost power, and even though I played it safe, my body could tell it wasnt a good food for a workout!

    Hi all,

    Completed c/synergistics today and an hour of stretch yesterday – nice alternative to yoga for flexibility. . How’s everyone else doing?

    tonight is plyo.. already logged it to help me focus! Though I have to say that so far it is the workout that I dread a bit, it's definitely the toughest for me

    Hey Everyone! Tonight was chest/back for me. Last week I could do 11 "real" push-ups and tonight I did 16! Still can't do a pull-up but I will honestly be amazed if I can do 1 at the end of 90 days. How is everyone else doing? Plyo tomorrow. :)

    Weekly Plyo is over, it is definitely the toughest workout so far. I could not do the bonus round yesterday, I was over my 85% for the whole last round, and I guess I pushed too much, maybe I should have modified some at that point.

    I also had pizza for lunch, and even if it was a small piece, it doesn't fuel properly your body for a plyo workout. I need to focus a bit more on getting more fruits and veggies every day.

    Thinking of getting a juicer, but I fear that the cost is too much (in veggies and fruits, not the machine itself)

    @unfitunhealthy - At my one month mark, I had only lost 2 lbs and 3% bodyfat.. which wasn't even close to what I was hoping to lose... however the actual inch loss was much more motivating. Did you experience the same type of results?

    Kenpo today - my favorite!!!

    @achasnis: no, not even close. I’ll keep on going, see what happens. Have decreased my cal intake as not burning recommended cals. Fingers crossed will start seeing some changes.

    Thanks bjgenwright, unfitunhealthy, and lisa451999 for your words and motivation! I am working on the classic sched. Thanks you all for your support. This morning i was thinking i'd like to take a bit of a break by doing cardio x instead of plyo x. Then as i was about to put Cardio in i changed my mind. Plyo went by a little faster and i have really improved from week one. Although, i still must say, i am uncoordinated when it comes to the pitching/catching moves. As for shoulders and arms, the bands are slightly not cutting it. I dont have heavy enough weights so i'm going to try adding my 5lb dumbells...i'll update tomorrow. Good sleep everyone!

    Anyone else really sore after the Yoga? You can truly tell that some muscles are really solicited by some poses

    Yes, yoga definitely makes me sore! I feel the burn EVERY time during the last vinyasa sequence.

    Chest, Shoulders, Triceps today! Enjoy your workouts!

    I just got done with Day four... the dreaded Yoga X - At 15 minutes I was mad, saying this was stupid... at 30 minutes I stomped out of the room... at 31 minutes that stupid Tony Horton was on my shoulder saying "If you hate it, and it is hard... that means you need it more...." so at 32 minutes I went back in and finished.

    Nice, I only get mad at him on Plyo! But yes Yoga is tough and long, but you feel so good when done!

    Way to hang in there mcdonl! Does anyone else just kind of collapse to the ground during the vinyasa when he tells you to keep your elbows in tight? Just me??? :-)
