This Core is on FIYUH.

Did I not say that my abs/core would be announcing themselves today? Indeed. And I love it. I will say- when you have major DOMS in the core, it makes a cardio workout that includes boxing moves quite, um, intense. I had to adjust my workout today- long story short, but I did not do my workout immediately upon waking up, so I did P90X Legs & Back, followed by Cathe MMA Boxing workout. I did not do Insanity as planned because that HAS TO BE DONE (for me) the very first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. So, I simply ADJUSTED. I didn't NOT do cardio. I just did what I could. And it was a total 5-star workout.
I kept FEELING every area of my abs during the boxing part and that is cool- because you realize how you can be working that core effectively while doing a cardio workout. Lovely.
I don't have much time this morning, so forgive me if I don't get my vlog in- I have to be downtown all afternoon, then I have a dinner meeting. I'll do my very best! ;-)
Also- gold star for Kelly! I was very pleased with the (assisted) pull-ups I was doing in the P90X workout this morning! Part of me felt like if you do it "assisted" (with a chair, or at the gym on the machine), it's not really working. Um. HECK YES IT IS. I'm not shying away from that anymore. I may surprise myself and work up to unassisted pull-ups this year. ;-) Wouldn't THAT be awesome?
Gotta run people. Have a great afternoon.
Question of the Day: When do YOU workout? Morning? Lunch break? Evening? After Dinner? Split?
Below is a clip of Cathe's MMA Boxing workout. Very nice.

Great post! I love working the abs by doing some intense cardio. Boxing and kickboxing are great ways to do involve the core! I love working out to Gilad on FIT TV and to some Wii Fitness for great boxing cardio. Great for my abs too! Thanks for sharing ! Take care :)

Nice! Great job adjusting instead of doing like I do sometimes - I can't do it as planned so I wont' do anything at all! grrr I hate that I can be that way!
I like to split it - light cardio during lunch; ST and/or heavy cardio after work!
Kel- that is what I am fighting against big time, my "all-or-nothing" tendencies. You are always so consistent, it's awesome.
Jen~ how do you like the WII?
You'll get those pull ups girl..just keep workin' on it!
Morning workouts ALWAYS for me!
cheers hon!
Hey Kelly! Too funny we did the same strength work out
I love P90x! I am doing an 8am workout and loving it!
Besides boxing what other cardio DVD are you loving?
I don't enjoy boxing for some reason! Anyway kick butt week so far!
Can't wait for tomorrow shoulders:)
Erin- I am so loving getting my workouts done as early as possible in the morning. Such a relief AND it makes sure that it all gets DONE!
I love boxing, I love kickboxing, and I love Insanity plus Kettlebells~ I have only one Kettlebell workout but it's a heartstopper and it rocks!
Rae Rae I cannot believe how sore I am from the pullups. That means I'm working muscles I haven't been and I love it! WOOT!
