Thurs Post - Back and Legs Review P90X Week 1

I had an awesome workout this morning - Back and Legs, and Ab RipperX. My worksheet was off for the Back and Legs dvd, though, so I had to cross out all the names of the exercises on the sheet and write in the correct things. It made the record keeping a bit more difficult (plus, I didn't know what was coming next). But, it will be easy next time since it's done.

I think I enjoyed this strength training P90X dvd the most so far. It had a variety of pull-up exercises, and lots of different leg exercises - many of which I hadn't done before. I also liked the fact that only a couple of the exercises were repeated. Almost everything was different, so it made the workout more interesting and fun.

Then, Ab RipperX came on, and I impressed myself in that I did everything without stopping the dvd even once! I still have room for improvement, though. There are harder versions of some of the exercises that I can do. And, I was behind on a couple of the moves (but I finished all my reps during the short break between exercises). And, I can always lift higher. So, still a lot of room left for improvement. But, this is definitely progress. And, it's only the 3rd time that I've done Ab RipperX.

After work I scheduled an hour long massage. The timing worked out perfectly. I'll go there straight from work. I think this will be perfect for my muscles. And, hopefully it will have me refreshed for trapeze tomorrow. I've really pushed myself this week. I'm not used to such long or so many strength training sessions. I think normally my weight sessions are 35-40 minutes. Hopefully I'm gaining endurance, too. I can't wait to see if there are improvements for the trapeze.
