P90X Day 43 Completed: Chest, Shoulders & Triceps, Ab Ripper X
Team USA celebrates Zach Parise's game-tying goal
Day 43 of my P90X workout is finally over! Today I did Ab Ripper X earlier in the afternoon, and I just finished Chest, Shoulders & Triceps. I would have done the workouts back to back, but I couldn’t miss USA play Canada in the Men’s Olympic Ice Hockey game. I really thought we were going to pull it out after that amazing shot by Zach Parise. When he made that shot my wife and both jumped off the couch screaming with excitement and our dog started running around the Living Room in circles. It was a major disappointment when Canada scored during overtime.
P90X Day 22 Completed: P90X Yoga X
P90X Upward Dog
I just completed day 22 of the P90X workout! Today I had to do Yoga X because it’s the first day of the Recovery week. It felt really strange doing Yoga X on a Sunday since I’m so used to doing Chest and Back, and Ab Ripper X. I felt like I should have been doing pull ups and push ups versus getting into Warrior One and Warrior Two poses. It was a calming workout though and I got through the entire P90X DVD.
P90X Day 15 Completed: Chest and Back, Ab Ripper X
P90X Chest and Back
Day 15 of the P90X workout is done! Today was Chest and Back and Ab Ripper X. P90X Chest and back went great today! I really pushed myself and was able to add 1 pull up to each of the different pull ups (on both sets). Also, for the push ups I added 1-2 reps on the first set of push ups. For the second set of push ups, I added 1-2 reps to the push ups with the exception of the Decline Push Ups, and the Dive-Bomber Push Ups. By the time I got to those exercises my arms were exhausted so I stayed at the same reps for the Decline Push-Ups and I ended up going down 2 Dive-Bomber Push Ups from last week. For the exercises where you use the dumbbells (or resistance bands) I added 5 pounds to my dumbbells and stuck within the 8-10 rep range.
P90X Day 8 Completed: Chest and Back, Ab Ripper X
P90X Diamond Push Ups
Phewwwww! Day 8 of my P90X workout is complete. Today was Chest and Back, and Ab Ripper X. I did Ab Ripper X first this time, and it actually seemed to go better. I still had to pause the P90X DVD like usual between some of the exercises though. Also, when I got to the Mason Twist I ended up stopping at the 10th rep (I’m really mad at myself for doing that) and taking a quick break. Ab Ripper X is a tough workout and I hope one day I can get through it without stopping!
P90X Day 1 Completed: Chest and Back, Ab Ripper X
P90X Reverse Grip Chin-Ups
I just completed day 1 of the P90X workout!!! Only 89 more days to go :-)! Day 1 was Chest and Back, and the Ab Ripper X.The Chest and Back workout consists of 12 different exercises (lots of pull ups with the the P90X pull up bar, push ups, etc.), with 2 sets of each exercise (you go through all of the exercises once, and then you do it all over again, except in reverse order). The first set wasn’t so bad, but by the time I got to the second set, I was definitely feeling the pain (a good kind of pain). I pushed through it, and I feel like I got a great workout.Continue reading
