Week 2 day 1

Week 2!!! Today was Core Synergenics and this workout gets you moving. I enjoy this workout it works all different areas. I was able to do more of it today this being my second time on this video and while I still had to take breaks, I did really well. I'm still having a lot of difficulty on the push up moves, I know that should be simple, but the combination of how I'm built and little upper body strength makes it sooo hard, but I'm determined to get there soon! I kind of "improv" my own version of a push up till I can get my arms built up enough. I've also got to get me something "cushion-y", to put under my yoga mat, cause my hardwood floors kill my knees and my feet tend to slide out of position a lot. I'll be looking for a solution while I'm out shopping today. I (again) love working with the weights, I've only got light weights now but plan to go up a few lbs next time I shop where I can get them. I notice that I can sit differently now, more comfortably, I'm much more limber when doing housework, and dont get as tired and out of breath as soon as I used to. And again, waiting till day 30 to do any measuring! Can't wait! P90X Can you bring it???? I can!~!!

  1. Are you doing "girly" pushups off your knees or full blown push ups off your feet? Not sure about cushiony under the mat but if your feet are slipping due to the mat sliding then get some of that no-slip cabinet/drawer liner to go under your mat. I know they use it here at the gym since the floors are concrete which can get slippery when sweating. If not I know several places that sell foam pads with different thinkness and density maybe you could do something like that under the mat though it may make it a little lumpy but more comfortable.

  2. Thanks, I tried a rug under my mat today and it still slipped, so I bought some foam floor blocks with the gripper on one side today at Lowes and I'll try it tomorrow! I can do a couple of full-on pushups and the rest are what you call "girly". I am a girl ya know!
