P90X - Half of Legs & Back, and Ab Ripper - 9/4

My intention earlier this week was to do the legs and back workout after the brick on Saturday, but after I got home from the run, I really really did not want to do anything more. It was a case of being over anxious before the days exercise - so on future bricks I think I'll be best served by considering a day over and done with after the run.

The problem was that kinda threw off my planning for when to do the legs and back routine - one that I'm experimenting with shifting from Tuesday due to residual soreness for a couple days after the workout. Part of the reason for doing it on Saturday was that it'd give me Sunday, Monday and most of Tuesday to recover prior to Tuesdays' tempo run. So by not doing the legs workout on Saturday, I had to come up with a new plan - I could either skip it entirely (which I didn't want to do at this point), or maybe go for a partial workout. I decided to go for the latter - instead of the full hour long workout, I'd just go through half of it. As it turns out, the first half has the majority of what I'd consider the most beneficial exercises anyway - balance lunges, super skaters, wall squats, single leg squats, single leg wall squats, step-back lunges, etc. The hope was that by doing half the workout, the soreness and tightness incurred would not last as long, and I could be recovered for Tuesday's run.

So we'll see how that goes.
