P90X: Day 3

If you are noticing that I’m late posting this blog, there is a very good reason for that inconsistency.  That reason goes by the name of P90X too.  Yesterday (Day 3) was one of the most excruciatingly painful days I’ve been through in my life so far.  Tony, our instructor, can tell us that we have to “Bring It” as much as he wants, but when you are so sore that standing up is painful, you have to tone things down a bit.

Even so, with a bit of Advil and lots of water, I was able to complete the two routines for Day 3.  The ‘Shoulders & Arms’ routine was a pretty rough one, I can say without a doubt that I have never tried harder to work on my biceps and triceps.  The only results I’m feeling at the moment is the same “sausage” sensation that I’ve gone through with both my abs and legs before this.

The second routine of the day was again Ab Ripper X, and for the second time this week I have been horribly incapable of keeping up with the routine.  Sure, it didn’t help that my abs were still painfully sore from the first time, but I did my best and tried every single workout on the routine.

I feel as though this day was a bit lackluster, but I did the workout despite every protest my body offered.  I think that continuing with the routine will be the hardest challenge in the end, so with that in mind I’m still doing great.
