I'd say I have to skip this one today and make it up on the day I'm doing X Stretch.
Today I went to Big Santa Anita Canyon to take my parents for a hike. Even though we went to the easiest hike, we didn't get to the waterfall since my mom couldn't handle the hike. I was thinking I could substitute Core Syn with this hike if it gave me enough workout, but apparently not. We spent about 2 hours there, but only walked on the paved roads before heading to a Chinese restaurant for a dim sum.
After we got back, it was already around 4pm and almost time to start dinner. I decided to skip Core Syn and make it up on Thursday, where I'll be doing X Stretch. In some ways it'll be good since my parents will be away to San Francisco trip so I'll have more time to squeeze in the workout.
Lately, my knees have been feeling very tight and stiff, especially after I stand up for a long time. Hopefully it's not something serious. :( I hate it if I have to skip more workouts. Good thing is, this week is my recovery week, so the workouts are "less intense".
Anyway, I apologize for not uploading any pictures lately since my parents are staying in my office room, I can't use my desktop computer and this laptop doesn't have the graphic program that allows me to resize the pictures.

P90X Lean Phase 1: Day 5 - Legs & Back, Ab Ripper
Today I woke up waaay earlier than my alarm clock but had to go back to sleep again. It was 1:30 am!! Oh wait...maybe I shouldn't be too proud of waking up before my cellphone alarm. This morning, I woke up LATER than my cellphone alarm. It was 5:15 am, and I nearly jumped out from my bed, wondering why the hell I didn't hear my cellphone alarm. It turned out that I forgot to turn it on..DOH!
After getting ready, I was dreading that I couldn't do both Legs & Back and continued to Ab Ripper due to the timing. However, I still managed to do both. Here's why, I skipped some of the Legs & Back exercises, especially the pull ups. I don't have any pull up bars nor resistance band so those workouts are meaningless to me. Btw, I guess Legs & Back will be in my least favorite workout, along with the other weight lifting workouts. My knees are pretty weak, so I try not to do deep squats as it'll put more strains on my knees. I think I got this knee problem since I tried to do the squat from Core X. Despite my arbitrarily, I still managed to break some sweats from this Legs & Back.
Ab Ripper felt so much tougher after I worked on my legs alot. Speaking of which, I felt more burn on my legs & thighs than my abs doing the bicycle moves and crunchy frog. Anyone noticing this or perhaps I didn't do those right?
