another great first week.
started the p90x program this week and man it is great. Really works muscles that you don’t hit when you just do the straight forward lifts. I know a lot of iron heads on here would think it is stupid because you are not lifting a ton of weight, but I am soaking wet after every workout and I typically dont sweat it out htat much normally.
today i did a high intenisty run on the treadmill then the ab ripper X workout that is
The workout itself:
11 exercises–25 reps of each exercise in this order:
In and Outs (picture being in boat pose and moving your legs in and out)
Bicycle-Same as in and outs but with a bicyle movement
Bicycle in reverse
Crunchy Frog- In and outs with your hands out at your sides bringing them in and wrapping your legs close to your chest
Fifer Scissors-lying on your back one leg hovering over the floor, one up and a 90degree angle both feet flexed and changing them scissor style
Hip Rock and Raise-sort of reverse crunches
Pulse-ups/Heels to Heaven-Reverse crunches with straight legs
V-up roll ups-Similar to a teaser
Obliques-side lying lifting legs and shoulder up at same time, kind of an oblique crunch
Leg climbs-lying on back one leg bent, one leg extended rolling up to top
Mason twist-Oblique twists done VERY quickly with legs raised up off the floor
My abs are burning. The leg and back workout I did yesterday has me crippled
