Day 38: Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps with Tummy Tuck

Well, I made it through the 2nd week of P90X Chest, Shoulders and Triceps and I must say it was much easier this week than last week. I am still of course unable to do the one-arm push-ups and clap/plyo push-ups without going to my knees but I felt much stronger and was able to more repetitions. I was able to increase my weight on most of the tricep extension work which was exciting. That is the area that I really need to work on the most because I still have some flab waving back at me in the mirror. ha! Yesterday was really great because as I was brushing my teeth I noticed that I had a bicep muscle again which was SO awesome. I was thrilled and know that the muscle development has been much more this round because of the added protein that I have included in my diet.

Following the workout, I decided that instead of Ab Ripper X from P90X that I would do Tummy Tuck from Brazil Butt Lift. I really like the moves and the plank work in this 18 minute workout and the variety of abdominal work that I get from mixing it up throughout this round of my hybrid P90X and Insanity regime. Everyday I do something new and different and I really think that is crucial for long-term success. I am so happy with the turnout of my program and the results I am getting.

Day 11: Shoulders & Arms, RevAbs Mercy Abs

A lifting day, finally! I love to lift weights especially my arms and shoulders so I was really excited about today's workout. I know, I am addicted if I get that excited but it always leave me feeling super afterwards! A sense of accomplishment. Today was really just about like last week other than I added a few more repetitions to my chair dips as well as my side-tri rises. Does anyone else feel the side-tri rises in their abdomen as well? I sure do but that is probably a good thing. I need all of the help that I can get in that department. Today I also did 20 minutes of Cardio from RevAbs, Rev It Up and then for Abs instead of Ab Ripper X, I did RevAbs, Mercy Abs. That is a simple yet effective workout and I definitely felt the burn following that 15 minute ab routine. What a great workout day! See you tomorrow!
