So this is my fourth week of P90X, an intense work-out program based on the theory of muscle confusion. Each day you work a different set of muscles, so the body never plateaus. This week is different from weeks 1 - 3, and I'm feeling the difference. Yoga and Core Synergistics back-to-back were a killer. The good news is that this week, I have Shulamith here to do it with me. It's much more fun than doing it all alone. We're both committed to the full 90-day program, in hopes of having "beach bodies" by summer. :-)
Seth is a great help to me in this program. He watches the people on the TV and points out all the ways that I DON'T look like them as I do the exercises. Lovely.
"Mom, your leg isn't as straight as that girl's is."
"Mom, you need to go faster in those kicks."
"Mom, those people are lifting 25-pound weights, and you only have 8-pound ones."
You can always count on Seth to be perfectly honest. It reminds me of when I recently received the calling of Primary Chorister at church.
Seth's comment: "You're going to be the singing teacher? But Mom, you have a TERRIBLE voice."
P90X. Bring it!!
