Final Legs and Back of P90X Round 1

3-26-10


Today was legs. I really struggled to get out of bed and I had a terrible attitude about this workout this morning. I’m really ready for recovery week. My mind and my body are just tired. Anyway… I was very frustrated with myself this morning because I just couldn’t knock the cobwebs off and get into the workout. That’s not to say I didn’t go as hard as I always do, but I felt weak and struggled. The worst part of it was my mindset. It is best described by “blah.” Then about halfway through the workout I decided to not use the chair at all on close grip pull-ups. 8. 8 pullups after I was already tired with no help. 8. Now, this may not sound like a lot of pull-ups for you, but 8 is spectacular in my mind. I have long arms and pull-ups have just never been my thing. If I could do 8 there, I think I’d be in the 15 -20 range when I was fresh. After I did that the attitude got a lot better.

The ab workout is getting too easy. I’m not really sure what to do about this. Today I did about 15 more Mason Twists after they did their 50. I know I’m at the end, but I’m thinking about the next round. So one thing I started doing today was on the scissors, I added in a touch the sky move for the top side. Let me explain… legs scissor like they do in the video but then I reached the arms to the ceiling and got my shoulders off the ground. It was a combo between the regular scissors and the 3 part touch the sky from the yoga workout. Just trying to spice it up, but seriously, something has to be done about this ab workout. It’s just too easy.
