Day 3 P90X Shoulders & Arms Followed by Ab Ripper X!

Forgot to medicate before bed...my head thought it was trying to ache last night and I meant to take an advil but forgot...so being like I am I woke up and had the same slight headache as last night. Feeling a bit groggy and discombobulated I found my advil and downed a couple of them. Headache was gone within a few minutes! Yaay!

So...I logged onto www.wowy.com and verified my workout for the day...really didn't need to because I knew what I was supposed to do. ;) My hubby had finished his workout by 4am so it was my turn. Pushed play around 4:15am with my grandson keenly watching me. Oh yeah...I did select the Silent with Ques (sp?) option because I have created a descent workout playlist for the time being that I love!

Here I go...I had plenty of umph to get me through the entire workout minus the bonus round. I will pick those up in Phase III. I had to save something for Ab Ripper X ya know!? LOL I had to work around my grandson who almost got clocked a few times because he started wandering around the room. ;) He did try to do some of the workout with me...all I can say is sooo CUTE! :)

I have to admit that my weight selection was much lighter than what I ended with when I finished my first round of P90X last year...but being down and out for the past couple of months will do that to you. My max weight for anything today was 12.5 but I mostly utilized 8 and 10 lbs with more reps. I know I will be back to heavier weights by the end of this round so I am happy to get some burn with the lighter weights! I am thoroughly sore from my previous 2 workouts so I know it is working! :)

Once I finished both Shoulders & Arms then Ab Ripper X, I promptly headed to the kitchen to make my daily foods that I pack in my cooler bag and take to work. Plus I had to first make my recovery drink...but I only had half a serving which is one scoop of powder. I am cutting that back except for Plyo X days when I will have half before and the other half after. :)

Equipment needed:

• Shoulders & Arms/Ab Ripper X
• Dumbbells or Resistance Bands for presses, curls, kickbacks...etc (amt of weight depends on your abilities)
• Mat (Ab Ripper X will put you on the floor...you may or may not need this...just depends on your preference)

1/2 serving Results & Recovery Drink
2 poached eggs
