P90X Day 5

I've decided that this week will be my official first week of P90X, not a dry run. With the execption of not having a chinup bar on Monday, I've given my all to every workout so I want it to count. On Monday I'll be adding in the nutrition portion of the plan.

Yesterday's workout was Legs and Back. The Legs part was pretty much all lunges and squats. My butt was sore this morning! The Back part was all different kinds of pullups. I can only do three at a time even with the assistance of a chair.

P90X Dry Run Day 4

This morning's workout was Yoga X. The first half was basically first series Ashtanga and the second half was balancing poses and floor work, like inversions. It was really hard. I was impressed - muscle head Tony Horton is a very good yogi - a lot of the poses were advanced (at least to me). He was actually calm and way less cheesy than usual.

This was a 90 minute workout that included a ONE MINUTE savasana. That was fine with me though because by that point the boys were awake and dancing about my head so it wasn't a very relaxing environment anyway.

P90X Dry Run Day 3

This morning's workout was Shoulders and Arms. I actually didn't think it was too hard but the biggest dumbbells I have currently are 10 pounds. I plan to get some 12 and 15 pound dumbbells over the weekend which should make it more challenging the next time I do it.

Ab Ripper followed this workout. My ab muscles were still so sore from Monday's Ab Ripper that I couldn't even do half of the exercises on the video. Last night my abs were almost as sore as they were after my C-sections - I could barely turn over in bed. I'd better get a killer 6-pack when this is over!

Tomorrow is Yoga. I'm interested see how the ubercheezy Tony Horton does as a yoga instructor.
