Day 17 P90X Shoulders & Arms with Ab Ripper X

Breathing...

One thing that has taken me a long time to figure out is how to breathe while working out...I have to say I have improved immensely over the past year thanks to Beachbody trainers...many times they will remind us to breathe.  Making it a habit and doing it properly is the key.  I have found that when you can do this you will have a more productive workout because you are getting the much needed oxygen into your system and you can actually feel your muscles better!


Today's workout consisted of Shoulders/Arms/Abs....the exercise rotation was shoulders, biceps, triceps...1, 2, 3 and repeat...then another set for shoulders, biceps, triceps, repeat....I believe you get it.  :)  I did up my weights on every one and my chair dips improved dramatically...week 1 I was only pushing out 23...week 2 I dropped to 21...this week...I knocked out 30 and 27!  I was surprised actually!  :)  I love it when I can see noticeable improvement in my strength.  I also increased weights like I mentioned before....all feels great!  Guess I need to get me a half serving of recovery drink before I head out!  :)


Ab Ripper X....I hate it...but I love it!
I am going to start logging my Ab workout...I am not up to a full 25 per set like Tony suggests....so I need to track and see how I am really doing.  I really concentrate on form and feeling my abs doing the work is very important to me...I hate wasting a workout!  ;)
