Day three, only 87 more to go
Well this morning I got up and finished the third workout of P90X, shoulders and arms, and Ab Ripper X. I know I didn't post yesterday but it was my first day back to work in over a week and I was a bit too busy. Let me get you up to speed. I went into the jump training thinking that it would not be too bad since I have some pretty strong legs and felt like I had some endurance built up in them to get me through the workout without any issues. I was able to get through the workout but it was pretty hard and I looked like I had been running for a good 5 or 6 miles when I was done. I asked a few guys at work that have gone through P90X and they assured me that the jump training never gets easy....something to look forward to. Moving on to today. I was looking forward to today's workout since everyone knows I am a big fan of upper body workouts since I think that is where I need the most help. It was not all that bad a workout but since some of the exercises I did I was able to get up to 20 or so reps I know I need to add a little more resistance to the moves but that is OK since just like Body-for-Life I need to find my baseline on these moves and work up from there. Next week when I do the workout again I can either go to stronger bands or loop the bands to make them shorter and add the extra resistance that I need. When I was done with the workout I felt it in my triceps and shoulder pretty good but I don't know how the arms are biceps are going to feel. I expect them to be a little sore but nothing too crazy. Even though tomorrow's workout is long (90) I am looking forward to it as well, tomorrow is Yoga X so I don't need to worry about doing any weight training or jumping just need to work on working the sore muscles and building some flexibility. On a side note I did a lot better today on the Ab ripper workout than I did the first day, some of my numbers went up, so although I can't keep up with the folks on the video yet I saw some progression. I think more if it has to do with knowing the moves better as I really don't think I am going to gain that much strength in just one day off. I have no doubt in my mind that my abs will be the most sore tomorrow as they were still a little tender when I started and as I type this they are still tight and a little tender. I will let everyone know how the yoga goes tomorrow, I am betting it is going to be an early morning for me so I can make sure I get enough time to get the workout done but like all these workouts it will be worth it.
