Re: tony rotation: p90 sweat 3-4

[Guest guest]

It was such a cold/rainy and depressing day, today that I didn't exercise at all, sorry Carolyn! Tomorrow I work early then I should be free all afternoon to workout. I'm planning to do PHH's Thigh Trimmer, I've never done that one before. I get tired when I do the high impact jumping jacks and also the power yoga on the P90 Sweat 1-2 (same as Sweat 3-4 but only has two rounds.) I don't have a rebounder so I just modify the jumping jacks when I get tired....I'm in lousy shape! Oh well, I just have to get used to it again. Carolyn you can't do floor ab work because of your neck/rib? No problem you can substitute whatever you want.See ya

hello! i worked for 5 hours in the deli today, so i took time

this evening to get my tony workout done. i did p90 sweat 3-4.

there were 3 circuits... first was low impact, then higher

impact, lastly was kicks and punches. each circuit consists of

3 or 4 drills which are each performed for 45 (maybe 60?)

seconds. then the circuit is repeated 3 times. i didnt find

the drills to be hard... what was hard was doing them 3 times!

i used the rebounder for the higher impact stuff... the kicks and

punches were my favourite. this was a good workout, but the

third repetition of each circuit gets old. i would have liked 2

repetitions of each circuit and either an additional circuit or

additional drills in each circuit.

as i was deciding on what to do tomorrow, i took a quick look at

ab ripper 200. oh yes, now i remember it. all crunches done

on the floor sorry jen but im going to have to substitute a

different workout for that one... one with standing abs, or a

mixture of standing and floor.

today my physiotherapist warned me against aggravating or

injuring my neck/rib. he feels there has been improvement...

while i still have pain and stiffness, i can actually move my

neck now (ear to shoulder on each side), so i guess he is right.

he is starting to cut back on my sessions now even though the

pain is still there... i guess his job was to relieve the neck

but not address the root of the problem (the rib) ?!?!!? i dont

see how the issue is not going to come back due to normal living.

i get the impression from him that there is no cure for this

issue. he just keeps recommending that i use the hot tub and pay

for massage therapy. i might go for that if i can get laura's

trainer (ben) to do the massage (hi laura). when the

physiotherpist does kick me out of the program, i will probably

have to investigate alternatives, like a chiro (?) will see.

anyway, tomorrow im doing abs (sub for ab ripper 200) and friday

will be p90 sculpt 3-4

AWESOME workout, Carolyn!!

Sorry about your neck. That has to be so annoying to deal with, especially with exercise. Have your heard of Cherry Tart juice? I have arthritis in my low back and I drink it every single day and it was helped me I'd say at least 80%. I'm thinking it might help you too?

Hi Carolyn!Smart move to sub the ab workout! I have heard/read and experienced the crunches are bad for you back. Planks are better/more efficient and natural! Can you use a stability ball?I also agree about your rib/neck issue - I think once we have a weakness it is likely to return. A big ticket to not having it return often is to be generally more aware of your movements throughout the day and to try to change your postures/movement patterns. It is tough b/c they are engraved in our muscle memories and I will quickly lapse into poor habits, especially if rushed/stressed. Wil the physio demonstrate and teach proper alignment and movement patterns so you can minimize the relapses??Donna

Way to go, Carolyn! I did P90 a few years ago and after doing each of those workouts soooooo many times over the months (I think it took me 4 months instead of 3 to finish it because of schedule issues) I was soooooooooo bored with them! They are very good though and I did this one not too long ago for the first time since then and enjoyed it again!

Yeah, ab ripper 200 would be really bad for you from what you've described. For those of us without similar issues, it is really tough! I don't think that ever got easy (though it did get easier) for me! What are some good standing or mixture of standing and floor abs workouts you've done? I don't seem to get a lot of out of standing abs but maybe it is the workouts I've done.

I agree with you about not really solving the problem without getting to the root. Just having treatment options options for when you need them, while good to have, is still rather frustrating. I hope you get more help before you're done with physio!

> What are some good standing or mixture of

surprisingly there are quite a few out there.... this morning i

just went to collagevideo, searched for standing abs and compared

that list to my inventory. the problem is that my inventory isnt

completely up to date so i need to get that done before my next

abs day. i hate not knowing if i have a specific workout that i

want to do. ugh!

anyway, today's jackie warner standing abs was quite good.

and there is chalene johnsons ab jam which also has a standing

section. taebo works the abs good, so i might do billy's new

'insane abs' on an upcoming ab day. paul katami has 'ab lab'...

cathe friedrich has 'ab hits' and 'sts abs'. crunch fat burning

ab attack seems like a mixture of standing and floor. oh, there

are alot more to explore... i will do my best to check some of

them out and report back i have lots of pilates but i

think i will leave that alone for now.

hi donna! i love doing planks

i laughed about the stability ball.... there is one in my

workout room, right on top of the tv actually. it has been

sitting there so long that ive apparently gotten used to it being

there and i dont see it anymore. so i didnt even think about

grabbing the ball for some of the floor crunches! DUH! i will

do that, using the ball does help alot, i feel so dumb for not

thinking of it.

>be generally more aware of your movements

yes you are so right. the physio gave me heck for not sitting

straight, but it actually hurt to do that so i was sort of

hunching over. now that the pain is getting better through

physio, etc... im constantly checking my posture and fixing it

which is a good thing. im much more aware of it now.

yes he had me sit down and positioned me as to what is proper

posture. he had to move my back, shoulders and chin into better

alignment.

Oh, that is good about your physio - and yes, I totally understand that once the pain is gone and once everything is loosened up and in the right place it is easier to maintain good form doing daily life activities - the trick is to constantly remind yourself to do it!!

Can you use a stability ball?hi donna! i love doing planks :)i laughed about the stability ball.... there is one in my workout room, right on top of the tv actually. it has been sitting there so long that ive apparently gotten used to it being there and i dont see it anymore. so i didnt even think about grabbing the ball for some of the floor crunches! DUH! i will do that, using the ball does help alot, i feel so dumb for not thinking of it.>be generally more aware of your movements> throughout the day and to try to change your postures/movement> patterns.yes you are so right. the physio gave me heck for not sitting straight, but it actually hurt to do that so i was sort of hunching over. now that the pain is getting better through physio, etc... im constantly checking

my posture and fixing it which is a good thing. im much more aware of it now.>Wil the physio demonstrate and teach proper> alignment and movement patterns so you can minimize the relapses??yes he had me sit down and positioned me as to what is proper posture. he had to move my back, shoulders and chin into better alignment.:*carolyn.
