Day 1: Chest & Back
Today was chest and back. WOW! This was a grueling hour workout filled with push-ups and pull-ups. I was really impressed with Tony Horton as an fitness instructor. I found that I worked harder as a result. In the past, when I workout by myself I have a tendancy not to work as hard as I can. And just when I thought I was done and I could rest the P90X Ab Ripper X workout came on. The Ab Ripper X is the most intense abdominal I have done. I could not actually complete most of the exercises. But I kept with it until I just couldn’t move. THe Ab ripper X has lots of leg raises, in and outs, and other ab exercises like that. Afterwards I felt a lot of burn in my abs. I still have a long way to go. I can barely imagine the day when I can keep up with and nail the Ab Ripper Program. But this is only the first day.
These workouts do not mess around though. Just when you hope you may be done the hardest part comes and you really have to push your way through. These P90X workouts are not going to let me cheat at all. On the plus side I feel great after the workout. I just have to keep pressing play, and somehow I will make it.
