This was one of the workouts that I couldn't wait to get back to. Building muscle is what I want this off-season and this helps me get there. My numbers matched where I originally started and I see them only going higher!
Ab Ripper X was much easier this time even though the last few days my abs were very sore. I'm still having trouble with the sit-ups but I'll keep working on that and in no time I'll be able to knock them out in no time!
I'll be posting my numbers tomorrow.
Man do I love this workout! I had a hard time getting through this but a month and a half off of exercising will do that to an individual. At times I think that I should be breathing harder through that workout but I know I'm getting after it when my legs are burning like they were. The funny thing about P90X is that I'm fine the next morning but as the day goes on the muscles start really screaming at me. But by the time I need to work them again they calm down just enough for me to abuse them, suckers!
My chest and shoulders are still sore from last night but I remember that from last time and they should be ready to go by tomorrow night. Well, I've finished my recovery drink and now relaxing and calming down before heading to bed. Since the Rays aren't playing tonight I can go to bed earlier that last night.
