We struggle against ourselves, physically and/or mentally with any exercise. This is my journey.

P90X Day #1 - Chest & Back, Ab Ripper X

Well tonight was my first night back in P90X and it was great to be back into it. It was rough but I pushed myself through it. As Tony says "Do you best and forget the rest." There were times the second time through that I wanted to do more, but just physically couldn't do anymore. I'm surprised that most of these numbers are the same as week 1 the first time I did this.

Well after pushing and pulling my chest, shoulders, arms and back to fatigue it was time to work on the abs with Ab Ripper X. I forgot how much it works the entire core and not just the abs. My hip muscles were getting a great workout! I finally got through it, there was some pausing to get a break, but I made sure to get all 25 reps in! Just finished my recovery drink and ready to relax before going to bed.

Throughout this journey of transforming myself I will post my numbers so that you can see my improvement. Here are my numbers for tonight.
