Day 3 of Turbo Jam

I know...what happened to P90X, well I got up to Week 8 and well...got married.  This put a huge damper on finishing my round of P90X.  I intend to, but after getting back, then going on a business trip, I just needed something fun.  I decided on Turbo Jam (and eventually Turbo Fire).  I needed something...girlier.  Tony Horton is amazing and great, and incredibly male.  So I went and got married and well, am feeling well, kind of like I need something fun. 

Turbo Jam is a quick program and should get me back on track, because I am off track I am a derailed train.  I was going to start the program at beginner, because I still believe I am a beginner...turns out I am not.  I popped in the "Learn & Burn" video and well, did it twice in a row and still could have gone on.  The next day was the 20 minute workout and I could have done it twice, so I decided to move onto advanced instead.  That's what I'm doing, so day three was Cardio Party.  Yes it is dancy, yes it is way more girly with all the house music and "finesse" but it is a capoeira workout in disguise.  It has lots of punches, lots of ab work, and lots of kicks.  I like it, actually.  I can do this for four weeks and then go and finish my round of P90X.  After that I would like to do Turbo Fire, which is like Turbo Jam, but with more HIIT rounds than the Turbo Jam sessions have.  HIIT is High Intensity Interval Training, and you peg your heart rate, bust is all out and then recover, then do it again.  If you do that for 20 minutes then well, you burn a hell of a lot of calories. 

So that is my update.  I worked out on Christmas!  Yes!  Woot!  It was good and my thighs hurt and well, I had pie, so it all evens out :)

Merry Christmas
