With Week One under my belt, it's time to get started on Week Two of P90X. Time to repeat last week all over again. Which means a great chest, back, and abs workout today, but I'm already dreading tomorrow's plyometrics routine.
I learned another lesson tonight. Make that two. Never workout as a couple when your kids are still awake for the night. Also, rest days must always be on Saturdays when we have all 8 kids (something, luckily, we started doing without considering how busy and tiring our Saturdays are, but we were reminded of this weekend).
We ended up getting a little bit too much rest during what should have been an hour and fifteen minute routine. Between 7 and 9:30 tonight, we passed a screaming Ember back and forth between us as we struggled through the push-ups and did the modified pull-ups (with bands instead of a bar) with ease. Our sit-ups weren't too bad, but we both agreed that everything is much easier and much more fluid the day after yoga.
Now, we have two weeks to figure out how to get in our Sunday workouts. Before the kids wake up is not an option because not only do Aaron's boys rise before the sun, but also we'd likely wake everyone. After everyone is in bed is also not an option, because Aaron needs to be in bed around 9 p.m. (he wakes up at 3 a.m. every day for work). Any suggestions?
