Day 71

Yesterday was another great workout, although, I know that after weights and Push Ups I will not feel the real soreness for a couple of days.  I did a lot of push ups and that usually takes a couple of days for the soreness to set in.  The workout was tough because I did more reps in all the different exercises throughout this workout.  I felt it, right after the workout, my arms were very tight.  Today however, I do not feel that bad!  I have gained so much strength in these last 70 days it just blows my mind.  

This whole journey is not about big muscles, it's about changing my disease.  I believe that I am on the right track with this workout.  I may not get where I want with this first round, but somewhere down the line I will find a way to ease this beast of a disease. 

The progress that I have made already is amazing.  Before this workout I would wake up with no feeling of life, my disease always had control, now it does not! I may have a little more soreness each day to deal with but for the most part it is gone by mid morning. 

I remember doing this very workout on Day 1, I was doing maybe 5 push ups and I was on my knees because I couldn't do them the right way.  Now, I am doing them the right way, and on day 71 I did 10-15 of each one.

Push Ups Round 1:

1. Standard Push Ups- I did 15
2. Military Push Ups- I did 10
3. Wide Fly Push Ups- I did 15
4. Decline Push Ups- I did 10
5. Diamond Push Ups- I did 10 (this is the only one I did on my knees because of my wrist issues)
6. Dive-Bomber Push Ups- I did 15

Round 2:

1. Standard Push Ups- I did 15
2. Military Push Ups- I did 10
3. Wide Fly Push Ups- I did 15
4. Decline Push Ups- I did 10
5. Diamond Push Ups- I did 10 ( from my knees)
6. Dive Bomber Push Ups- I did 10 (to tired to do any more)

If you combine all them together I did 140 push ups last night, way more than I ever thought possible in a thousand years.  This total is all about how this program has changed me and my body.  This shows my progress from the start of this workout to now, my goal is to get to 150 and I think I can do it.

The workout was Chest and Back, but my arms are the body part that felt this workout the most, at least right now.  I am looking forward to Plyometrics tomorrow, this workout will test me to say the least.  It's more of a cardio workout, and I struggle with those.  Bring It P90X, is that all you got!
