P90X: Round 2, Day 1
Chest/Back & Ab Ripper X
I did P90X at the beginning of the year, really just dipping my toe in to see what it was all about and if I was ready. I completed the first 2 months but had to quit to accommodate my annual bout with pneumonia. I suffer from adrenal insufficiency and have the immune system of a wet kitten. Interestingly, that's the reason I began taking my nutrition and health very seriously.
I've lost over 75 lbs in the past two years, once tipping the scales over 250 and now in the best shape I've seen since college with nowhere to go but up, er, down. I used to be a competitive dancer and have become an avid swimmer so when I found P90X with it's focus on proper form, fluid movement, and discipline I knew it was just the thing to take me from "Weight Loss" exercise to "OMFG Train Like An Athlete" exercise.
I turn 33 in 2.5 months. I'm throwing a pool party. I've already bought the bikini and hung it up on the fridge; I'm about 10 lb over "acceptable" in it. My husband is away on business & won't see me until that week. I am out to make some jaws drop.
So Day 1, Chest/Back and Ab Ripper. I rocked on Chest/Back. I can feel the new swim muscle. Abs was harder. I do a lot of Pilates and I always *think* I have strong abs until I do Ab Ripper. :-D So I modify, break the 25 into 2 sets of 10 and get it done that way.
I have yet to find anything that feels as good as a completed P90X workout. :-D
