Yes, it is here everyone.  I am stoked about this new DVD from Tony Horton.  The next DVD installment from his new One-on-One series.  I have not had a chance to review it, since it just came yesterday. 

The Olympics only comes every four years, so I have been glued to the TV watching Michael Phelps take charge and sweeping the world with his gold medals.  You go Michael.  I am thinking about adding swimming to my routine.

I finally realized why I don’t like to run.  I have been on the treadmill twice this week.  I have squeezed in 3 cardio sessions in so far.  Yeah me!  But, yesterday I realized that my little toes get all bruised up.  I hate that and they are so sore.  After my class yesterday, I had to take my shoes off to let my toes breathe.  That is why I think I will go swimming.  Give my little toes a break.

Remember change is good and a variety of cardio exercises is great.  You need to mix it up people.

I will get back with you on how it went with Tony.  Can’t wait.

I switched my routine from the Power 90x lean routine to Power 90x Doubles routine.  why?  Well, because along with my eyesight I have lost some brain cells along the way. 

I thought with every cell in my being that I needed to push my self and add more cardio to my regimen.  I do, really, if I want to get rid of the stuff that is covering what many have told me is the rectus abdominis aka six-pack to show, then I am going to have to do more cardio.  Yuck!  I hate to run. I don’t have time to go to the base and get on the spin bike or treadmill.   I know I have said this before in the “What was I thinking” post.   Why can’t I just shove an enama up my you know what and just get it over with?  No, I couldn’t do that, I guess I will just have to eat bushels of apples, or is that bundles of apples? 

Well, I have gone running twice this week.  Two times too many this year.  I feel alot better and my shins are aren’t talking to me as much.  I guess that is good.  Now, I was suppose to do my chest, shoulders and triceps on Monday also, but man I was really exhausted after my workout in the morning class.  We really did work hard and I did not really want to because I knew I was suppose to do the Power 90x routine.  I put it off.  So, now I am behind and I did the routine today after my evening classes, which no one came for on Wednesday.  Now, I will have to do the back and biceps tomorrow which was suppose to be just YogaX.  Well, I have two Yoga classes to teach on Thurdady, so I will do those and figure out if I want to do the back and bicep routine after I have lunch with my friend.  You know priorities.  :) 

I think I will do a little jogging tomorrow again, not too bad so I will keep it up.  I will do my back and bicep routine.  I really need to get my push-up routine going as well.  When am I going to have time for all this blogging and working out?  Urgh!

I do have a dead line and I am sticking to it.  Just apples and yogurt.  Oh, and I found an awesome protein drink too.  it has a cinnamon taste to it.  I love cinnamon.

No excuses.

WOW! Is really all I can say at this point.  I wanted to up my cardio and I love doing TurboKick and Kenpo on the Power 90X.  I really haven’t had a chance to do this because i have really been busy with Lowe’s stuff.  People aren’t buying houses they are just fixing up the house they have and keeping me busy, which is a good thing. 

I have had to change up my routine a little and do some stuff on my own.  This is week 4 of the Power 90x challenge and I am working through it pretty good.  I teach a Yoga class for Hardin-Simmons Univerity for the Summer Session.  It starts at 9:10 and of course students these it really must mean something else.  So, I decided that I would start jogging around the track for about 30 minutes before Yoga.  I hate the run, but I know it really works for me. What? What the heck was I thinking.  Okay, so the jog went pretty good.  I worked on my breathing and stayed focused.  That is what yoga will do for you people.  Helps you stay focus on all areas of life.  I really felt pretty good that day.  I had to go put some blinds in after yoga class at the military base.  Just 3 blinds piece of cake.  Right!  I had to drill through metal and it was kickin my butt you all. 

Later that day, I had to teach TurboKick.  I really needed the extra calorie burn.  I burnt 503 calories that segment and earlier for the jog I burned up to 166 not much I know.  Met my goal for the day 750. 

Well, the next morning which was Wednesday, OMG, my stinkin shins were yelling at me.  “What the heck were you thinking?” they asked.  Those little babies were so sore all day.  Did I mention that I hate to run.  This is why.  Now, I have to ask myself do I want to run today?  I really need to because I did not yesterday and the Power 90X calls for cardio today. I hate to run.  Maybe, the treadmill sounds a little better and really easier on my knees and my little ol’ shins.

I really have to gear up for next week, because I want to start the doubles routine.  Ugh!  Do, I want to tackle that.  How can I?  I can’t seem to get the other routine in regularly.  Well, I have done really well, I have been keeping tracking on my worksheets Tony.  You would be soooo proud.  When am I doing to get the Plyo Legs in?  Legs and back are on Saturday.  I maybe doing 3 routines on Saturday just to get everything in.  Whewwwww! 

Finally started eating my oatmeal in the mornings and have way more energy.  It is good for you.  The girls in my morning class told me to quit eating it, I am really working them hard this week.  Hey, that is way they get for being on vacation.  Not my fault, they needed the boost, those slackers.  Ha They know I love them.  Okay, check back on my progess.

Remember the Breath is the most important part of anything.  It is literally life.  Learn to breathe deep.

Okay, here I am, on week number four.  I am a little depressed since it doesn’t look like I have dropped anything.  On the other hand, I feel good about myself in the fact that after last week’s shoulders and arms I am stronger.  I can definitely do more weight. 

I received my one-on-one with Tony and viewed it with much excitement.  It looks pretty darn exhausting.  I am crazy enough to try it.  Heck yeah!  I will probably just do it once.  ;)  If Tony can get extremely exhausted I know I will probably regurgitate which is really appealing.  Well, we will just see.

Okay, this week is suppose to be like a little one, but you know I feel like I have not done enough since I did have to bonk on a few days because of other things I have got going.  I am going to start running again in the morning before my Yoga class.  Just 30 minutes I think ought to do it.  So, that means I will have 3 activity things going on back to back.  Um! I think that should work.

Did you know that there is a way to run?  I taught a summer jogging class.  The techinique and the breathing are really important for running.  Now, we all should be able to run if we don’t have jacked up knees like I am seeing in younger kids these days.  What the heck people.  Arms are suppose to be by your side and hands nice and relaxed.  The stride should be a nice confrontable stride with heel toe, heel toe, not flat footed.  Ouch! :(  The body should not be straight up but slightly leaning forward to help the body propel forward. The breathe should come through the nose and the exit the mouth.  Nice and deep and not choppy.  There you go.  Of course when you get towards the finish line you should speed it up lenghten the stride pump the arms and get going.

Next week, I am going to try the doubles routine.  That means I will do a workout in the morning about 7:30 and then proceed with my other workouts and come back in the p.m. and do another one.  This is really suppose to jump start my butt and get me where I need to be.  Wish me luck.
