I finally got my workout systems in. I've been doing some free-sytle workouts which resulted in a painful lower-back issue. I discovered that my major ab workouts needed to be coupled with lower back strengthening. My lower back isn't hurt at all, thank goodness, but it's just sore from trying to keep up with my over-worked abs.
So the systems I now have are P90x and Plus, Slim in 6 and Yoga Booty Ballet. I'm putting off the P90x for a little while until my back is feeling fully better. So far I've used the Slim in 6 and Yoga Booty Ballet. Man they're tough. The Slim in 6 is very fast-paced and it killed my abs the first day I used it. She makes sure to do intermittent back strengthening to protect my lower back. The Yoga Booty Ballet was immensely fun. The music is a little bit annoying, but I have my own mix of music to cover it up.
I feel great today after working out last night and this morning. I took my measurements earlier and I'm going to retake them in a month to see how things are going. My workout equipment came with three free measuring tapes so I suppose I have to use them. I'm hopeful for tomorrow!
