P90x Review - Week 1, Day 5, Back/Legs
Morning!
Today I got up at 3am and pushed PLAY by 3:30am. Today was Back/Legs and my oh my, did I learn lots about myself.
First off, my right leg is still quite weak from the surgery recovery. Thus, squats done on that leg go down, oh, 3 inches if I’m lucky? I figure that with time, I’ll improve, so I’m not angsting about that nor am I trying to go lower. My left leg, however, is peachy, and I was able to dip down pretty well.
My favorite squats here, of course, are the wall squats - those are rather easy for me to do. The one-legged wall squat was a challenge.
And don’t forget about the pullups/chinups! I adore these exercises (along with pushups) so I had a great time with them. Widearm pullups are nil, mind you, but hey…I’m just starting out.
Ab Ripper X was a nice way to end P90X today. I can do between 15 to 25 reps of each exercise - again, I believe time will help me build up my endurance.
Since today was Back/Legs, I will confess…after the workout, I did go downstairs to use my PreCor Hack/Squat machine. I’m only using 70 pounds (I figure start easy) but it did contribute towards a very lovely burn afterwards.
I completed everything by 5am and was back in bed by 5:05am. After the kids go to school, I’ll do my 55 minutes of cardio on the treadmill and continue with my work at home activities.
And that be my review of P90x, Back/Legs,
Barbara
