P90x Review Arms/Shoulders – Week 3, Day 3, Total Days – 17

Morning,

Today was the day I gave myself permission to wake up late and do my P90x in the morning. Alas, my body laughed hysterically at me and threw me out of bed at 3am.

Sigh. Can’t win.

Started the workout at 3:30am, and I decided to (amazingly!) NOT kill myself with overweights. So I begin with my cute little 20 pounders and by the end of the workout, was reduced to 10 pound dumbbells (but still achieved quite a flaming burn).

This is the third time I’ve done this DVD, and I noticed finally that the sets are in 3 – 3 exercises, then repeat… 3 different exercises, then repeat….and finally the 3 last exercises and (you got it) repeat. That has to provide benefits to muscles that I never got when working out on my own; I simply lack the discipline to keep that structured.

Weight-wise, seated static curls are still at 35 pounds (yay!) but standing statics; I can do 20 pound dumbbells for a bit and then regress back down. As I’m kinda sorta a wee bit utterly exhausted from yesterday’s workout, I didn’t push myself that much – I just worked until the burn. I’ll probably top off the workout later on today with my seated statics….it gives me a feeling of accomplishment.

And tomorrow is Yoga Death! Joy oh joy (NOT NOTNOTNOTNOTNOT), but I will admit, I do appreciate it when it’s finally over. :)

And that’s Day 17,

Barbara
