Day 52 (Wednesday - July 30)
Kenpo
Kenpo today and it went well as always. It’s still probably my favorite workout. Goes by so fast and I break a hell of a sweat while doing it. Almost done with Phase 2 already. Looking forward to tomorrow’s X Stretch day. Should feel good!

Day 51 (Tuesday - July 29)
Core Synergistics
Another round of Core Synergistics today and it went really well. Haven’t done the routine since the last recovery week which was about 3 weeks ago and I’ve improved on most of the exercises, if not all. Broke a hell of a sweat and am looking forward to tomorrow’s Kenpo workout!

Day 48 (Saturday - July 26)
Kenpo
Kenpo today and it went well as always. Love the workout. It goes by really fast and I don’t even notice how much of a sweat I’m in until the routine is already over with. Spent pretty much the rest of the day studying.
Day 49 (Sunday - July 27)
N/A - Rest Day
I was going to do the Yoga routine today that I missed on Thursday, but since I will be doing Yoga tomorrow I decided to just take the day off. I took a long walk in the afternoon and tried to enjoy the day apart from some more studying. Tomorrow I start week 8 and my 2nd recovery week!
Day 50 (Monday - July 28)
Yoga
My 2nd recovery week already! I haven’t done Yoga in a while and am happy that I finally pushed myself out of bed to get it done. The routine went really well and I can see a pretty good improvement in both strength and flexibility since the last time that I did it. Still having some problems with the crane, but it’s more of a balance problem now rather than strength. Should be getting it soon enough! I enjoyed the routine this morning and am looking forward to tomorrow! Cheers!

Day 47 (Friday - July 25)
Legs & Back + Ab Ripper
It’s Friday! Anyway, did my Legs and Back routine this morning and it went really well. I find myself somewhat less motivated when I wake up lately, but I think it’s just that it’s getting a little darker outside (days are getting shorter) so early in the morning. Pushed myself out of bed today and got the workout done. Managed to up my reps on almost all of my pullups and chinups, so I’m happy about that. Still not using any resistance on the leg exercises, but I’ll probably add it in with my bands in Phase 3. Ab ripper went really well as always. I’m still kind of bummed that I missed out on my workout yesterday, but what can you do. I’ll make up for it on Sunday. Looking forward to Kenpo tomorrow! Cheers!

Day 46 (Thursday - July 24)
N/A - Rest Day
Well, was supposed to do Yoga this morning, but I just couldn’t get myself out of bed. The limited sleep I’m getting due to my schedule is creeping up on me I guess. Decided to just catch up on some and push my Yoga routine to Sunday to replace the X Stretch. Not too happy with missing out on a workout and actually regret not pushing myself up and doing it. I seem to be loosing some motivation, but I’ll make sure to get myself back into it with a good and intense Legs & Back routine tomorrow!

Day 45 (Wednesday - July 23)
Back & Biceps + Ab Ripper
Half way done! I wasn’t super motivated this morning to do my workout, but I pushed myself out of bed and got to it anyway. I’m happy that I did and am happy to see that I’m staying dedicated to this routine so far. The workout went well, I believe I could have pushed myself a little harder at times, but I still managed to up my reps on a few exercises. Ab ripper went well as always, and by the time I got around to it I was in a much better frame of mind. Other than that, I took a walk last night and my legs are finally no longer sore from Saturday’s workout. Tomorrow’s Yoga X. Haven’t done it in a while, so we’ll see how it goes.

Day 44 (Tuesday - July 22)
Plyometrics
Legs are still sore from Saturday and chest is sore from yesterday. I didn’t get much sleep last night, which more than likely didn’t help my recovery much, so I’m not too thrilled about that. My schedule is pretty hectic this summer with both school and full time work. Anyway, Plyometrics went well this morning. I started off a little slow due to being somewhat groggy from the little amount of sleep and the fact that it was grey and raining outside, but after a few minutes I got into it pretty good. My shirt was drenched and the workout felt great. Looking forward to tomorrow’s Back and Biceps!

Day 41 (Saturday - July 19)
Legs & Back + Ab Ripper
Back on track and loving it! I did the Legs and Back workout this morning and it went really well. I’m still not using much or any weight on the leg exercises due to my left hand having problems holding weight straight down for a long period of time ever since I broke it a few years ago. Anyway, I’ll probably start using my resistance bands to make up for it next week or in Phase 3. Other than that, I managed to up my reps on all my pullups and chinups, which I’m very happy with. Ab ripper went well as always, still ripping through it. Those heels to the heavens are brutal though. Looking forward to Kenpo tomorrow, my favorite workout and I haven’t done it in a while. Cheers!
Day 42 (Sunday - July 20)
Kenpo
Kenpo finally today. I feel like I haven’t done this workout in a while and it went great! Really missed it. It’s fun and goes by quickly, but has me sweating like crazy. My glutes are still sore from yesterday’s workout. I also took a long walk around noon and then spent most of the afternoon doing some work on my back porch, lifting bricks and heavy bags. Broke a good sweat there too. My shoulders are a little sore from all the carrying. Good day all in all. Starting week 7 tomorrow!
Day 43 (Monday - July 21)
Chest, Shoulders & Triceps + Ab Ripper
Started week 7 today. Did the Chest, Shoulders and Triceps routine. It went well, my shoulders are still a little sore from yesterday’s yard work and my glutes are still sore from Saturday’s workout. Managed to up my reps on quite a few exercises. Those one-handed pushups are still killing me, can’t wait to get real good at them! Looking forward to Plyo tomorrow. Should be a good week workout-wise! Cheers!

Day 40 (Friday - July 18)
N/A - Rest Day
Well, once again stayed over at my girlfriends place so I didn’t get to do the Yoga X routine this morning. I’m really kind of bummed that I’ve been missing X Stretch and Yoga so often lately, it’s just been a couple of hectic weeks with her parents on trips plus school and work, but I’m going to make it a point to get back on track tomorrow and try and not miss anymore workouts. Looking forward to Legs & Back. Cheers!

Day 39 (Thursday - July 17)
Back & Biceps + Ab Ripper
Still somewhat sore from Monday’s workout in the shoulders and triceps. Today was Back and Biceps and it went pretty well. I really like this routine as it works the biceps a hell of a lot. I got a really good pump out of it again this week. My pullups and chinups seem weaker in this routine, I’m not sure if it’s my mindset or whether it’s because my biceps are more tired. My guess would be a combination of both. Anyway, I’m happy with how it went. Ab ripper went well as usual, still doing the whole routine without any breaks and even adding in some reps here and there. Broke a good sweat and had a good workout.
