I started really late, but I was determined to not repeat last week's mistake.
Plyometrics- I think I did well. I had my heart rate in the 140's or 150's throughout the majority of it.
I haven't been getting a good amount of sleep since the weekend before last. I think it's starting to catch up with me.

Day 15
Start of week 3...
Chest and Back- Though I was on my knees alot, my push-ups had great form.. elbows, straight back, and going down low. I increased my weights for the "Lawnmowers" and "Heavy Pants" to 20lbs, and feel I can increase my weights for "Back Flyes" to 10lbs. I didn't notice an improvement over last week in my pullups, I may have just been more tired going into it this time though.
Ab Ripper X- I improved on some routines, but also did worse on some others.

Day 14
Cardio X- In a way it's like a sampler of the other Cardio workouts.. Plyometerics, Kenpo X, and Yoga X. With the addition of a few somewhat comical routines. I struggled with the Superman position, I would definatly like to get that down at some point. My heart rate got in the 140's and I generally stayed in the 130's.
After that since I allready had my shoes on, my heart monitor on, allready got a shirt all sweaty, and still had some energy.. decided to go for a little run.
Running- I only ran/jogged 1k, but got my heart rate up to 168.. which puts me in the "Optimal conditioning" or "Anaerobic Zone". Ideally, I should be in the "Aerobic Zone", occasionally crossing into the "Anaerobic Zone" to increase the funcitionality of my cardiovascular system.

Day 13
Kenpo X- I felt like I was giving alot of effort, though my knees felt a little off. My upper body moving strong throughout though. My heart never got in the 140's, but often times entering the break periods it was only in the 110's. Maybe its good because it's showing I can work hard with a low heart rate. Alot of the times I felt, I was giving more energy out then the people in video.

Day 12
Legs and Back- My left knee is definatly worse then my right. I'm not sure I can switch my hands for the "Switch grip pull-ups".... soon though.. soon.
Ab Ripper X- For "Fiffer Scissors"; I lay my arms under my back (to help support my spine), take alot of short breathes (like a woman giving birth), and sort of squeeze my buttocks. This allows me to get the form alot better and really focus on keeping my legs up.. and at the least keeping my bottom leg straight out.
Getting near the end of my (sugar free) Almond Milk (when it comes out in clumps).. it sort of taste a bit like Vanilla Ice Cream, though many people would probably disagree.

Day 11
Ending up not going to lunch at work (not enough time to meet deadlines), so I'm posting a bit late.
Yoga X- As far as I remember everything went well. I have a better idea of the flow and forms for the beginning part (which is also the most intense part), so I don't have to look at the video as much.

Day 10
Got off at around the same time as last night, but this time I got everything caught up. So that will put me in a good position for tomorrow.
Arms and Shoulders- Everything went very well. The weights I used were good and I think they will stay the same next week.
Ab Ripper X- I really felt that burning feeling in my Abs at the end of it this time. I'm getting better at keeping my legs up during the "Fifer Scissors", but still have trouble keeping them straight out or straight up.
