http://markmurabayashi.com Just bringing it... Fri, 03 Sep 2010 15:09:03 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Sickness, schmickness. I popped in Ab Ripper X when I got home from work last night and proceeded to have my best day of Ab Ripper X to date. I completed all of the exercises I mentioned completing the other day, as well as both sides of the Oblique V-Ups ... http://markmurabayashi.com/?p=150 Last night, I was feeling really sick and run-down after I got home from work, with Ab Ripper X still to be done. 40 straight days with 0 workouts missed including optional ones, I didn't even hesitate in turning on the DVD and going for it. My mind was ready ... http://markmurabayashi.com/?p=147 Yoga X actually flew by yesterday for a change. At 90+ minutes, that should be practically impossible, but shortly after starting it seemed like Tony announced, "Best downward dog of your life! They're coming in to shoot the cover of Downward Dog Magazine" which tells me that I'm done with ... http://markmurabayashi.com/?p=145 Still chugging along. Day 36 - Chest, Shoulders, Triceps, Ab Ripper X Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps makes me feel like a wuss probably moreso than any other workout in P90X. I'm pretty good at pushups, just not when I have to do about 10 sets of them in about 40 minutes. ... http://markmurabayashi.com/?p=138 Way too lazy updating. Anyways, quick recap: Day 33 - Legs & Back This workout killed me before the rest week, and killed me even more on Wednesday after not doing it for 2 weeks. I had to wait a few hours to do Ab Ripper X because I was so spent. Day 34 - ... http://markmurabayashi.com/?p=135 OK, I'm getting kind of lazy with these updates. I'm working from home this week, so my morning routine is out of whack. Day 30 - Plyometrics Whoa. One week without Plyo was enough to make me forget how brutal it is. Fortunately, my cardio didn't seem to take a dip and ... http://markmurabayashi.com/?p=131 Phase 2 adds two new workouts to the mix: "Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps" and "Back and Biceps". This Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps workout was killer! It's another one of those where there are about 24 exercises, and just one break in the entire thing. Around halfway through the workout, Tony Horton ... http://markmurabayashi.com/?p=129 Phase 1 complete! For four full weeks now, I haven't gone a single day without completing some kind of P90X workout and I haven't eaten a single meal that wasn't healthy. Pretty sweet. X Stretch was what it was as usual: a lot of stretching. My flexibility is still increasing, though ... http://markmurabayashi.com/?p=127 One month ago, if you would have asked me what workout I was going to hate the most in the P90X program, it would have been Yoga X for sure. Fast forward to today, and Yoga X is somehow becoming one of my favorite workouts, and certainly the one that ... http://markmurabayashi.com/?p=122 Core Synergistics, take two. This time I knew what to expect coming in, so I was able to actually concentrate on engaging the core (or trying to) and maintaining good form. I wouldn't say it was any easier today, but I definitely did a lot better with the moves. I'm ... http://markmurabayashi.com/?p=120
