Feel the burn baby! HA! What a great workout. I thought, boy today should be pretty laid back with just shoulders, arms, and an ab routine (which I missed the first day). I put in disk 3 and this one is go, go, go. I was sweating up a storm even before the warm-up was done. I got a little nervous. HA!
It was awesome! I think I'm going to need bigger weights though. Although the one guy was using bands and I do have those, so maybe I'll try them next. I'll have to review what the color of the bands mean though so I don't kill myself. I have 5lb dumbbells here at the house, and they worked well. I had a burn a few times, but overall it was probably a tad too easy for me. I completed at least 15 reps on every exercise (yea, too easy...darn). I went ahead and did the Bonus Round. Loved, loved, loved the side tri-rises. I'd never heard of them before, but they'll be a new favorite.
I put in the Ab Ripper X - OMG! I was wondering where the sheet was to keep track. Well it's simple, do 25 of everything. Um, not so simple. I did take it easy so that my ab muscles wouldn't flare up...I mean seriously, am I the only person in the World who gets a charlie horse in her abs?! I did at least 10 of every exercise except for the crunchy frogs - Ouch! and the v-up/roll-up - OMFG! HA - pardon my french. Good grief those were tough. I can't wait to be able to do all 25 of them! AND I WILL DO ALL 25!!
So, day 3 of P90X and I'm loving it. I feel great and super strong! I hope this energy keeps up. I'm seriously thinking about doing the shakes and replenishing drinks. It's all so expensive...now I know why there are so many coaches (discount!).
Speaking of coaches...never heard from the one randomly assigned to me. I have to say that I'm a bit disappointed in beachbody. I'm super stoked to be doing P90X, but I feel as if the website as a whole is a bit complex. It's hard to know where to go to look for help, and it seems that everyone is a coach and every coach has different opinions (and some have no idea what they're talking about). Anyway, not sure I like the site, but I LOVE the workout!
Let's see what tomorrow brings!
lol I share your same enthusiasm for the ab ripper....I saw the time clicker on the bottom and thought to myself, oh 16 minutes, this is going to be great......wrong!! :) As for the shakes you should check out your local health/fitness store, they have items that are pretty comparable and way less expensive. Keep up the good work!
