P90X: Day53 Core Synergistics

Another CORE exercise! What did I tell you?

45 minutes through the exercise my head was spinning, heart rate's shot through the roof.. I was nauseated by then. I had to forward the video to the cool down part. Man was I out of condition. Yep! That's what I get for skipping Kenpo and X Stretch. :D Well.... On Saturday I decided not to do Kenpo since I played badminton for 3 hours... that's good exercise already. Sunday, uhm I was too lazy to get my butt going.

So what is it about core exercise that's so difficult? Core synergistics incorporates multiple muscle groups; your abs, back, hips, pecs.. your midpart. The exercise sequence is fast paced.. followed by multiple sets of push ups... Your doing like 30 reps of one exercise with weights and then 15-20 reps of push ups. In core synergistics you perform like 5 or so different kinds of push ups...and then there's the bow to boat.. superman to banana.. right, it sounds cute. But not when you're squuezed to your limits already and asked to perform more core maneuvers... it's EXTREME.. after only 10 minutes my sweat started pouring like rain showers.. They were everywhere! I kept hydrating myself but eventually I had to give up. I didn't want to push myself.. not today anyway. I know how hard this exercise is since I've done it like 5 times since Day1. I feel it's too much but I do it anyway. Bottomline is.. Just do your best, and forget the rest!
