August 7th 2010 Daily Update

The start of the weekend, and after a work week of early starts and later finishes a chance for a lie-in. Up at 8:15am and on the scales showed a weight of 75.9kg. First time below 76kg so great news, however this week has been one of weight fluctuations on the daily weigh-ins, like due to the early starts. The official weigh-in comes tomorrow.

Morning

By far my best Yoga X workout to date. Not only did I burn nearly twice the calories of my previous attempt I actually felt like I was working out. I found wearing gloves/socks rather than bare hands/feet allowed me to hold the positions better.

• Elliptical Sprint 8 reverse: 255 kcal, 141/155 bpm, 02:39, 16:28, 01:11
• P90X Yoga X: 534 kcal, 107/142 bpm, 09:11, 02:56, 00:00
   

Evening

Also my best Cardio X, pushed myself much harder as shown by heart rate, kcals and heart rate zones. As Cardio X includes some Yoga and some Kenpo (in addition to Plyometrics and Core Synergistics) I'm finding my co-ordination and familiarity with the sequences improving and I'm also pushing myself much harder. I'm now finding that in both the Yoga and Kenpo sections that I'm having a much more elevated heart rate as I'm giving 110% rather than just going through the motions.

• P90X Cardio X: 510 kcal, 138/171 bpm, 15:28, 13:03, 13:57
