So I started Phase III yesterday with PAP Lower. Good work out but I was kind of disappointed when it was over. It is essentially 8 moves, four times. You do four moves and then start over with those 4 moves until you have done each of the moves 4 times. Then you get a rest and do four different moves, etc. I mean, my husband comes up stairs sweating like crazy and I broke a sweat, but just barely. And I was trying very hard on the moves and giving it lots of effort so I know that was not the problem.
Woke up this morning and was a little sore on one side of my glutes. That was it.
Then I did PAP Upper this a.m. Same thing. 8 moves, four times each. I think I am going to have to throw in some ab ripper at some point as the abs on upper and lower just don't seem to be a whole lot of work.
Anyway, I am not giving up on it. It was my first time for both workouts and the moves were challenging but I turned off the dvd player thinking that it just wasn't enough. But I was not impressed with Plyo the first time I did it either and it came to be my favorite X workout.
I am afraid though that Phase III may get monotonous. I am sincerely hoping not! You do PAP Lower, then PAP Upper, then Yoga, Rest day, PAP Lower, PAP Upper, Rest day. Same eight moves two days a week and then a different set of 8 moves two days a week. We shall see!
I will say that I have noticed a significant change in my physique. My arms and abs are more defined and when I squatted down earlier today I could really feel the muscle in my leg when I put my hand on my quad. It was wonderful! I have been really hoping to get my legs in better shape. Someone even complimented me on my arms the other day and a lady at the gym said "Your abs are ripped up!" And that was a huge compliment because her abs were pretty "ripped up" too! Patience and consistency is the key! Watch out bikini - here I come!!!!!
