P90X: Day 4

As another morning began, I lay in my bed afraid of what sensation awaited me upon trying to move.  Thankfully, I was rewarded with a minimal amount of soreness in my legs and abdomen, though it appeared that my arms were still somewhat asleep.  The same sensation stayed with me throughout the day in my biceps, but otherwise I feel good.

Today’s routine was ‘Yoga X’, which sounds a bit ominous really.  In reality, it was a challenging but rewarding routine to get through regardless of how many positions you were actually able to contort yourself into.

To say that today was a day off would be incorrect, as you still find yourself sore after the workout.  It was today, of all days, that I found myself coming close to pulling muscle during one of the poses.  This was an interesting feeling that makes me wonder just how much other effort I didn’t notice while performing the poses and doing some deep breathing.

Tomorrow is ‘Leg & Back’, as well as another installation of good old ‘Ab Ripper X’.  Chris and I both wonder how our bodies will respond to the stress, but we’re starting to feel better overall as a result of forcing ourselves to do the program every day.  Till tomorrow…
