Day One

Day one consisted of Chest & Back then 17 minutes of misery otherwise known as the Ab Ripper. Chest & Back is all about push-ups and pull-ups. I can do 30 solid standard push-ups, but when you throw in military style, diamond and decline push-ups I struggle. I cannot do pull-ups without assistance YET, but I will get there. For now, I put my feet on a chair for extra help.

I truly hate working my abs. Did you hear me? Hate it! I knew the Ab Ripper was going to be challenging. I struggled big time and at one point I just stretched out on the floor and completely skipped an exercise that I knew would be incredibly difficult. I am not going to complain anymore about that otherwise Chris is going to get onto me. :)

The beautiful thing is Tony Horton tells you to "Do your best and forget the rest." It's all about doing what you can and getting stronger each time. You keep track of your reps and weights on worksheets and watch yourself progress as the 90 days pass.

I finished my P90X and hopped on my treadmill for a 3 mile run. I wanted to get some cardio into my workout. I still want to spin and run with my friends, so I am going to have to figure out how to make that work. I feel great and I am excited to see my progression.
