Does ANY of that sound fun? Do you know what synergistics means? Tony defined it as multi-muscle movement. Arrggghhh. But, I feel good, over all... You need to work your core. No matter what, no matter what you do, core is vitally important, I promise. Core is involved with everything.
Even tough it was hard, I feel I could've pushed myself a biiiit more on this one; I was going kinda slow trying to learn the exercises and pace myself, but now that I know what's coming I can do better next time... Oh, want to hear the incredible journey I had to go through to even be able to DO this today?
Okay, so a friend gave me the P90X, right? Well, core synergistics and stretch x were missing. No big deal; a second friend of mine downloaded the files for me, and my boyfriend at the time burned them on to a DVD for me.... well last night, I suddenly had a suspicion- do they really work? I pop the burned synergistics in, and IT WON'T FREAKING PLAY. Nor would it play on a computer. Enter crisis mode at eleven at night. I then run around trying to download the files, set it up so I could watch it on the computer, SOMETHING. Then I remember- I have the flash drive with the files on it! YES!... But I truly don't want to work out on the den computer in a public space. So then I go into my sister's abandoned room, set up one of the old computers, and spent about an hour setting that up and making sure I could run the videos on it. End result? I'm ready to go to bed at about 1:30, and I'm waking up at 6:30 to exercise so I can go to parades later... Good grief. But, we're all set up now, so we're good.
Speaking of Mardi Gras, I need to go shower and get read. Have an awesome day guys!
Love love,
