P90X Review Chest & Back / Ab Ripper X (Day 8 - Phase 1)
I rested on day 7 (Monday), but was back at it on Tuesday morning. On Monday, I felt like I was coming down with a cold, so I took some cold medicine and went to bed early hoping I could whip it over night. No luck, I was sick. I was dogging it all through the P90X workout. I tried the tip that Chris had left in the comment section of this blog and it seemed to help get more out of the pull-ups.
When I started P90X, I purchased a set of push-up stands to enhance my P90X workout. They arrived at the end of last week so I was looking forward to try doing push-ups with them. They worked out great, I’m glad I made the purchase. I’m not using them to extend the range of motion so much as to just take some of the pressure off my wrist.
I felt worse at the end of the work-out then when I started, but I was glad I completed the workout. Making excuses to not work out is how I went from physically fit to out of shape over the years.
I made a protein shake for myself with the intention of drinking this on the way to work, but my stomach was so upset, I didn’t drink it until noon or so.
I couldn’t get my car started, so my wife had to take me to work. This just added to the stress of the day… and week.
