Back to having ab pain with just about anything I do. Makes me wonder...did I do too much, too soon? I really babied my abs for the first week and then slowly started adding back in some exercises, but modifying them if I felt any tenderness at all. Finally, made it back to actually participating in and modifying the exercises in the Ab Ripper video. Was fine, no pain or soreness the next day for Kenpo. Same thing for Stretch X the next day. BUT, on the following day, during the Yoga video, I was feeling a bit sore again. Didn't push too much as a result. And even more sore and ginger during today's Core Synergestics. Didn't push it at all. And very sore, anyway. Not thrilled about it. I really want to do P90X the way intended...for those fabulous results, so it is discouraging to have to step it back a bit. And sore abs are impacting how I'm feeling in general. Grrr.
Feels good, though to be on Week 4. We get to change up the routine a bit this week...no isolated arms, legs, back, or abs and double-up on the yoga and stretch. Neither of which are exactly "easy", so it doesn't really feel like much of a break. And, next week, we start on Month 2, with some additional changes in the rotation and, I think, some videos we haven't done yet. Great fun!
Also a bit preoccupied with Bunny-watch. Bunny's not doing so well this morning. Seems a bit touch and go and if there isn't a change for the better over the course of the day, we may need to make a tough decision.
