Day 1 – Core Synergistics
Finally! I’m back in the swing of P90X! I’m really excited to be working again.
The workout… It kicked my butt all over the place. I had a quote to describe it today: “It’s like I was in a wet T-shirt contest”. My shirt was completely drenched, front, back, and even the sleeves.
I started out fine. I felt confident. I think that made me work harder in the first couple sets, making me exhausted at the end. I’m definitely not in the same shape as the end of last summer (obviously), but I started the workout like I was. But I crashed hard. That’s fine though. I made it through most of the workout. My core really isn’t my strong point physically, and I’m not nearly as in shape for cardio, so these workouts are going to be a good challenge for me.
I am glad I worked hard the last 3 weeks while I was being a counselor. It definitely helped.
This workout really made my shoulders exhausted. I don’t know why really. A few of the moves use some shoulder strength. I think it was all the stabilizing my shoulders had to do while doing the pushup moves along with holding my arms up in some of the ab moves.
I’m just happy to be doing P90X again and working to improve myself.
A reminder: My photos are not retouched or edited in any way outside of cropping them down to a better size for posting on the web. I shoot for consistency in the pictures as best as I can so the comparison pictures later will be reliable and accurate, as opposed to the progress pictures you see in every infomercial.
So, it’s picture time.
Food today: Lunch was two Chicken Sandwiches from Chick-fil-a. Dinner after my workout was a chocolate whey protein shake, a grilled chicken breast with A1 steak sauce, and a low fat string cheese, and a LOT of water.
