End of Week 1

Well today competes my first week of the program. Today was rest day but I did do the stretch CD and it felt extremely good for all my worked tight muscles. Its also been good to learn some new stretches for before playing soccer or basketball.

The last two days I worked my legs and back and did KENPO X for the cardio. I thought I did ok on all the leg exercises. The one legged squats were near impossible to do in a 90 degree angle but I was able to do them sitting a little higher. The major thing was the increase in total crunches during AB Ripper X. I went from 114 to 180 to 224. The jump from 114 to 180 is due to learning the exercises but the increase from 180 to 224 is huge. near the end I still need to work on my form and straightening my leg but that will come as I continue to work on my flexibility. I also need to get my hand down on both sides during mason twists. When I can do that I will feel pretty good.

Kenpo was intersting. I did some variations with what I had learned doing my white belt training the past couple of months. But was able to push through on all exercises. It was one of the better workouts I've done.

Now onto week 2. I am dreading it a little bit only because chest and back has really been the hardest to do. Part of that is because it was my first day and pull-ups and push-ups really are my weakest exercises. I'm hoping to see a pretty good increase on push-ups. Any increase in pull-ups will be good.

Now for the stats. I am down to 205.5 a reduction of 2.5 lbs, and I was measured wrong for my other stats. Fortunatley I still had my first measurements so I went from 28% body fat to 26.49. The calculator states that I lost 3.8lbs of fat and gained 1.3 lbs of lean mass/muscle.

Time to start week 2.
