Well I was slightly disappointed this morning when I stepped on the scale. :( Simply put I "gained" 1.5 lbs over the last week. I will confess now...those DARNED Girl Scout Cookies did it! LOL As I told my husband this morning...I don't know why I even eat them...I am not enjoying them like I used to! Maybe I think I will enjoy the next bite? Who knows!?
Goal for this week and beyond...AVOID any and all Girl Scout Cookies! (I have to deliver tons of them with my daughter this week...I am plagued by the presence of these cookies...we have a booth sale this weekend!) I will do better!
Moving on to today's workout....
I was determined to BRING IT this morning due to the fact that I got mad at the scale number! Well I didn't disappoint myself...I am a bit shaky while writing this...so I know I pushed hard! I admit that I really zipped through the workout...but that is mainly because my max reps are done long before the allowed time for each move, so I just move onto the next one. And I took shorter breaks. :)
I increased my reps on most moves and added more weights on the lawnmowers, heavy pants, etc....Ab Ripper X was a bit difficult because I didn't feel like I had any more fuel...but I did finish it and I was sure to watch my form over my numbers. Right now I am not hitting 25 with each set...but I am pushing myself.
I have to admit that I truly love P90X...out of all the Beachbody workouts I have done...this one is my favorite so far! :) ChaLEAN is a very close second! I might do that after this round!
Equipment needed:
- Chest & Back/Ab Ripper X
- Dumbbells or Resistance Bands for lawnmowers, back flys, etc (amt of weight depends on your abilities)
- Pullup Bar or Resistance Band attached to something above head
- Mat (Ab Ripper X will put you on the floor...you may or may not need this...just depends on your preference)
