Day 5 Back & Arms with Ab Ripper X
This morning was Legs & Back (can you say burning?) and Ab Ripper X. We were able to finish the Legs & Back portion, but Sherri ran out of time for the Ab Ripper X portion. She will complete it tonight, while Steve is at work!
What a good workout... we chose to do some of the exercises without weights, but still felt that it was intense enough! We were required to do many "chin-ups" that required palms away from your body. This is designed to work more on your back, and not so much your biceps. Sherri used the resistance bands, and Steve used the pull-up bar. Great results from today... as is evidenced by tired, sore muscles already! Looking forward to Day 6 (tomorrow morn) - Kenpo!
Stay tuned!

P90X - Day 4
Day 4 Yoga X
WOW! The Yoga X routine is long, 1 1/2 hours long to be exact. We were not able to complete the program in its entirety this morning due to time constraints; however, Sherri finished it this evening while Steve was at work.
Yoga is an interesting fitness routine and it is an exercise regime we've never done before. At first, we thought we wouldn't get much of a workout with Yoga, but that is so far from the truth. Many of the moves were a challenge for us, but that's the beauty of it - it's a challenge!
The Yoga format is slow and methodical; the room is filled with quietness. This was great because it allowed us to focus on my breathing and form. Very difficult for Steve to be quiet, though!
Yoga X may not be for Steve at this point because there is too much "hands over shoulder" movements. He paid the price for it this morning. So we are hoping to continue building up the muscles that surround his shoulders and then try again at a later date.
Until tomorrow...
