Yesterday was Legs & Back, this workout always kicks my tail! It doesn't matter how far into the workout I get either, this workout kills me. Maybe it's because of all the squats and lunges. I know that the workout is making me stronger, I am just wondering when I will make it all the way through.
Last night I missed some of the exercises because my legs were cramping up, this was the first time I had cramps in this whole Journey. I knew one day I would have to deal with this and I am glad it happened so late in this Journey. I was bale to battle through the workout and I pushed through to the end but it was a challenge.
Today I fully expected to have sore legs but to my surprise they were not sore, that is a complete testament to my routine. I had to start it right after the Ab Ripper X workout and it continued throughout the day. I am pretty sure that without my routine I would not have done the next workout in this P90X Journey.
Why is this workout so tough?
- Sneaky Lunges- where your heals can not touch the floor 20 reps.
- Side to Side Lunges- from a standing position lung to the right and to the left 20 reps.
- Calf Raises- three different sets with 15lbs weights in each hand: toes pointed toward each other 25 reps, toes forward 25 reps and toes pointed out 25 reps.
- Wall Squats- sitting on the wall for 1 min and 30 seconds
- Step Back Lunges- with both feet side by side, step back for lunges with 8lbs weights in each hand 15 reps on each side
- Dead Lift Squats- using no weights bend over and touch the floor while in a squat position
- Super Skaters- doing a squat with one leg off the floor and that leg goes toward the back of the room while the same side arm goes toward the front of the room 25 reps on each side.
- 10 Different Pull Up Styles- doing close grip overhand and reverse grip + 9 more different kinds of pull ups, enough to give the legs a break every now and then.
I love this workout, but it wears me out. I am looking forward to Kenpo later tonight, day 76 is right around the corner.
