Day 29

Yesterday was tough; Chest, Shoulders & Triceps, and what a workout.  I was pretty sore later in the day, and I am still sore in my neck and shoulders right now.  However, this was an intense workout with more weights than I am used to so far in this workout. 
The different exercises in this workout are designed to focus on muscles that will build definition and to get results.  I hope that with these next three weeks of doing the same workouts that I will take a step further in this Journey.  My muscles have changed over the last 5 weeks and the confusion has worked to this point, now I just need to make it through the next 3 weeks. 

Chest, Shoulders & Triceps:

• Slow Motion 3 in 1 push-ups- lower the body in 4 counts and then raise in 4 counts, then repeat in Standard and Military.
• Overhead Triceps Extension- I used 8lbs weights, holding weights, extend arms overhead.  Keep upper arms stationary and elbows from flaring outward. Lower weights behind head, then straighten arms back up then repeat.
•  Scarecrow- in a staggered stance hold light weights in each hand, raising arms so they are parallel to floor with elbows bent at 90 degrees.  Keeping elbows, wrists and upper arms locked, rotate weights up and back as far as you can.  Slowly return weights to starting position and repeat.
• Y-Press- holding weights or bands just above shoulders, press up and out slightly, so that at the top of the motion arms are in the shape of a Y.  Going to wide can result in injury.
• Pour Fly- using light weights raise arms straight out with dumbbells and tilt wrist to simulate a pouring motion.
• One Arm Push-Ups- on knees (separate as far as possible) place push-up hand on floor underneath shoulder and the other arm behind back.  Go as low as you can and switch hands each time.

These are just a few of the different exercises in this routine.  There are 25 all together to complete the workout and it is intense to say the least.  I am ready for the next workout Plyometrics, I am looking forward to what each workout gives me and my body.

I know that none of this would be possible without my routine, that I have followed since the beginning of this workout.  It is the sole reason I can do this workout, and continue each and everyday.  My routine allows me to recover faster each and everyday, so that I can continue with the next scheduled workout.

I am ready for that Beach Body!
Bring It P90X!
