Total Synergistics "A full body resistance workout featuring compound movements, which utilize multiple muscle groups in every exercise. With compound movements, the increased force to the body stimulates the body’s natural ability to produce preformance-enhancing hormones, such as testosterone.

 Agility X "A full body workout requires floor targets to dictate movements, Agility X uses both aerobic and anaerobic energy, focusing on precision, power, flexibility, balance, and strength.

Triometrics "Old-School plyometrics is jump training. Welcome to Triometrics, X3’s state-of-the-art take on a plyo workout that goes far beyon d simple jump training. “Plyometrix” here means explosive. It’s a highly effective means of training muscular efficiency or power. The downside of this training is the time factor. The more explosive force that’s created, the more downtime you need. Triometrics’ proprietary formula utilizes three different levels for every exercise, each targeting a different physiological response while minimizing the downtime needed between movements. The result is a workout that increases speed and power in a fraction on the time you’re used to training."

Was going to do My Doubles after the Yoga.. but maybe doing it in this order will be better for today.
1h10 PM MY-DOUBLES Program P90X3 : Pilates  ~ 30 mins HOME FITNESS with Tony Horton
I don't think I would have made it AFTER Yoga, and I definately couldn't have done an hour at this intensity.. My right knee still hurt on right planks.

Pilates "A century ago, Joseph Pilates founded a style of training he coined Contrology. By understanding the importance of controlling the body through its core while centering on breathing and balance, he revolutionized how we can strengthen the foundation upon which our bodies can better function and endure the effects of aging. P90X3 takes Contrology into the millennia by combining Pilate’s fundamentals with modern science, resulting in a workout that builds core strength and muscle elasticity, stabilizes the joints, ans creates a solid human platform to perform the activity we call life."

Combining karate, kenpo, jiu-jitsu, judo, and tae kwon do, this martial arts-based cardio workout does a lot more than increase your heart rate.

PLANNING P90X3 "Semaine de relâche"  (Spring Break) I want to take this next week  to try out the Work-outs before getting to do them in the actual program in the second block. : Incinerator, Eccentric Lower, Accel erator / Isometrics, Triometrics, Decelerator.

well..  This one is scary. / but ok, :  I do all the PUs on my knees and change the 10 reps to 12 reps. Mostly with DB 10s ( DB 5s for shoulders) and Black Elastic for Pull-ups and Chin-ups.

 Incinerator "This is one routine designed to burn you out. Exercise is one of the few times in life where failure is a goal. With Incinerator, it’s your ticket to results, as you’re forced to bring it until there’s nothing left to bring. In exercise terms, failure is important in defining your limits. If you never fail, you simply cannot achieve your potential. This push-and-pull-focused workout uses back to back movements engaging the same primary muscle groups. The first movement targets hypertrophy (muscle growth) and the last movement pushes you just past your limit. With Incinerator, failure is your only option."

HOME FITNESS with Tony Horton
I was actually looking forward to doing this, although I dont want hypertrophy at all, but I guess once in a while it's ok.. I decided to eat lunch before, cause I think it's better for the metabolism. not to do all the things at once. / This is one that's really good to paper log the weights, and try out the weights like I'm doing now. I wrote what weights I used, and what I think I should use next time.

Eccentric Lower "Referred to as, “negatives” in gym vernacular, your one-word synopsis for these workouts will probably be “pumped.” Time under tension is the key to creating the greatest hormonal releases to induce hypertrophy, or muscular growth. In these workouts you’ll slow down the eccentric (or negative) half of each movement until you’re begging for mercy. Concentric is when the muscle shortens, eccentric is when it lengthens. During each exercise you’ll focus on the later because it recruits more muscle cell motor units than the concentric half, resulting in the biggest testosterone bang for your time-under-tension buck."

Isometrix "A strong foundation is essential for overall fitness, so Isometrix combines isometric contraction with instability to make your core rock solid. Isometric contractions occur when the muscle neither shortens nor lengthens and the joint angle does not change, building the static strength. Adding instability to the mix requires your body to fire its stabilizing muscles. When training these two simultaneously, you create an unshakable platform to work off, heightening the affects of movement training that you’ll target in other workouts."

HOME FITNESS with Tony Horton I do Push-Ups instead of #10  cause I really need them. / Kablam is Chair & Back lunge.

Triometrics "Old- School plyometrics is jump training. Welcome to Triometrics, X3’s state-of-the-art take on a plyo workout that goes far beyod simple jump training. “Plyometrix” here means explosive. It’s a highly effective means of training muscular efficiency or power. The downside of this training is the time factor. The more explosive force that’s created, the more downtime you need. Triometrics’ proprietary formula utilizes three different levels for every exercise, each targeting a different physiological response while minimizing the downtime needed between movements. The result is a workout that increases speed and power in a fraction on the time you’re used to training."

HOME FITNESS with Tony Horton
OK, So I have to tell myself that this is just exploration; If it had been an exam, I would have gotten about 40% on it LOL OH and I have MEGA DOMS in my left glutes but I don't exactly know from what. I woke up at 4am because they hurt so much, and I took 2 Advils at 11 and still felt them all through the work-out. oh, and I just noticed, this is a Block 3 exercise.

Decelerator "Most athletic injuries occur on landing, not during takeoff, which is why a University of Southampton study concluded deceleration training is a must for general fitness training programs. Decelerator focuses on this type of training, using strategic angles to force loads on different parts of your anatomy, thus increasing your ability to stabilize and protect muscles, connective tissues, and joints. It also focuses on the strength and explosive power associated with launching into a move, creating a balance between your ability to go up strong and come down safe."
