Core Synergistics is AWESOME!!!!!!!

Did the Core Synergistics last night and loved it!!

It's a tough, tough workout, but I love what Tony did with it. He varies the movements throughout the entire workout, allowing you to hit every muscle group in your body. I was somewhat clumsy with it since it was my first time doing it, but now that I know how the moves work (more importantly how they're SUPPOSED to work) I'm sure I'll get better at it next time.

I find the level of creativity that Tony used in these workouts to be very impressive. I can't really see how someone could get bored with P90X, at least within the first going through. I guess if you did a second go at the 90 days how perhaps it could get monotonous, but that's where the P90X Plus comes in and the maintainance part should allow each person to experiment. Do what you want so long as you change what routine you follow from time to time and you can't get bored. Go up in weight, build more muscle. Go down and do tons of reps to really burn out your muscle groups. The adaptations are there for you to use and man it's great.

I've also started following Tony's Twitter and blog because the guy has a ton of inspirational stuff to say. Perhaps I have a little man crush on Tony (ha ha, all guys have a man crush, they just don't want to admit it) but he's an interesting person. I'm still not sick of his ridiculous jokes yet, and I don't think I ever will be.

I'm excited because I've decided to make a ton of lean beef jerky. I'm getting the meat, cutting it, and marinating it tonight, where it will sit in the marinade for about 3 days, and then I'll cook it out on Sunday. MMMMMM. Beef jerky is a great snack because you take the fat off of it prior to cooking, the cooking (or dehydrating) gets rid of the rest of the fat, and you have no limit as to what flavors you can use! I'm going to make a spicy batch and a sweeter, smokier batch and see what my co-workers think. It's also an easy way to get a extra serving or two of protein in each day without having to eat the same old stuff (for me that's chicken and tuna).

Kenpo X tonight and I'm excited for that too. I enjoy that workout quite a bit, and I'm thinking about investing in a couple weighted gloves or some reallllllly light weights (like 8-16 oz) to make that workout more intense. Not for a while though as it's challenging enough for me now with no weight.

Only 6 more days until my first batch of results photos!!!!! I'm soooooo excited!

Well, that's it for the time being.
