During my first round of P90X, I dreaded Legs & Back because my legs were really weenie even though I thought I they were pretty strong. Boy, after that workout was I wrong again this round too. Although they were better this round than the first time, I was still pretty wimpy. Ha!
Legs & Back sounds like a very excruciating workout but honestly, Tony Horton makes it really fun. It has a great combination of squats, calf raises, lunges and of course pull-ups to work the back of shoulders. If you aren't strong enough to do pull-ups or have the space for it, the program also shows you how to use a resistance band to get the same workout. My favorite exercise of the entire workout has to be calf raises with the least favorite being the iso toe lunges or the single leg wall squats. They are killer! I am already sore in my hamstrings after this workout so I made sure that I went and made my workout recovery drink directly after that.
I followed up this workout with a cardio abs workout from Insanity and Shaun T. I simply love that ab routine as you don't do a single crunch. The plank work is killer but so effective and fun!
