6 August 2011 marked Day 10 of my P90X/TurboFire Hybrid workout schedule. Intensity 95%. I made a promise to one of my FITness buddies, Mike, that I’d step up my game a little. Mike, a fellow P90Xer will be doing double workouts for the remainder of his program (6 weeks). I love competition, so I’m doing double workouts as well. When I trained at the Omni, I became accustomed to weight training for 30 minutes, followed by an hour of cardio. I did lose a bit of weight, but under consuming caused me to burn more muscle than fat. This time around, I intend to do an hour of weight training, followed by no more than 30 minutes of cardio. That should fix it, yeah? And with my hybrid schedule, I’ll be working out 6 days a week.
Overall FITness impression (results):
I remember how intense this routine is on the shoulders, but I was able to get through the entire DVD without having to stop. Plus, I’ve always got my tendonitis in the back of my mind. I improved again this week! I’ll have to document my exact numbers on here soon, but I was pleased at how much I pushed myself this time around.
TurboFire HIIT 20: OMG! I love it! I thought this would kill me…and it nearly did, but the 20 minutes went by a lot faster than I thought it would. This routine involves 3 Fire Drills: the first 2 are done twice and the 3rd is done THREE times! Once I master these HIITs, I can see this as a soon-to-be TurboFire favorite! Be on the lookout for a more detailed analysis of the HIIT 20 routine (moves, times, etc.).
Needs Improvement:
Shoulder Flys. These still invoke a bit of pain in the shoulders. I did, however, get through tthe entire set with the weights this time! Oh yeah! I think my form may have suffered a bit, so FORM needs improvement. ALL tricep kickbacks can also be done cleaner.
