Hey All! Today was my first time with Chest, Shoulders and Triceps. WOW! Love this workout. I'm feeling my push ups get deeper and steadier and I can feel the strength I'm gaining, even though I was not 100% this morning. I followed it with Cathe's CoreMax #2 (stab ball). Did the first two of Ab Ripper and decided I'd rather be tortured by Cathe. LOL. I'll go for a run this afternoon.
 
I figured you'd like that workout Christine!

I did an easy run this morning and will do P90X Chest & Back plus abs this afternoon....the dread factor on those pull-ups....x( :)

Enjoy your workouts...:)
 
Happy cold, rainy Monday fellow X fans. Hit it hard today with chest and back (last one of this 90-day rotation - yay me!), ab ripper x and 4-mile incline walk. Wonderful DH (he says the kids - ok honey)got me an Ipod nano for mother's day and it had my cardio coaches already loaded. Bless him. Enjoy your effort today.

Lorrie..I agree with Christine! Your DH is a definite keeper!

I do believe I will have some DOMS tomorrow from Chest & Back...I wasn't even lazy and did all the push-ups on my toes...those divebombers are killers!!!
 
Hi All...
Did plyo. today. I enjoy this workout. Reminds me of my old soccer practices. All I had in my head though, was a friendly reminder to "jump higher".
Chest and Back are sore today from yesterday...ouch! Love the feeling. Lorrie - my last c&B for me, at least for a few weeks. I start "recovery" next week. Looking forward to that.
Good luck on it Christine! Those divebombers ARE killers...on the last few I end up collapsing!
Christine...I'm glad you liked C&S&T. It gives me something to look forward too.

HEY Lorrie...Your husband could teach my husband a few things! he..he.. That is so thoughtful! Definately agree...a keeper.

I can definately tell the workouts on this 3rd week seem much better to me. My form is much better! Liking them more and more. Won't completely replace CAthe, of course.

I just have to share with all of you who say my DH is a keeper - YOU ARE SO RIGHT! We dated for 13 years and were (and are) the best of friends before we got married 9 years ago. So we've been together for a while. Funny thing is - I still like him more each day! Ok - mushy part over. See you tomorrow.

This is my FAVORITE P90X workout! It seems to go by so quickly: no dread factor at all, but very effective. It even makes me dread chest/back less (since they are paired during the week).

Carole, I know what you mean about the chin-up/pull-up dread! I'm doing a chin-up challenge (goal of being able to do 5 real chin-ups from a dead hang by end of summer...hoping the summer is very long!) but I still have to use assists on all the P90X chins/pull-ups. I'm nowhere near the 30 reps or so they are doing, and could let it discourage me, but I just keep trying and doing my lame version of what they are doing. (I keep telling myself that most people...women AND men...can't even do one pull-up).

Sunday was Chest/Back, and this time I did the whole workout, follwed by Mindy's stability ball section of " All About Abs" (I really like these as add-on workouts! And I'm less apt to skip them than I was with "Ab Skipper" !)

Yesterday, I took it easy, and instead of my interval/plyo cardio (which I will do today), I did 7 sets of " cat squats," holding various cats with each set (Scooter got 3 sets, because he seemed to think it was fun, and everybody else got 1 set...even though Simon seemed to like it as well!)

I decided to sub incline dumbbell presses for those, because I can't do anything closely resembling what they do (I can't quite figure it out!) and feel like I'm doing anything effective...and I like a bit more upper chest work anyway and miss dumbbell work for the chest if I don't do any.


I did most of my push-ups on my toes (the exception was the " heart-to-heart" triangle push-ups, where I took a tip from Mindy and put my hands on a medicine ball for them, and put my knees on a balance disc so got quite a stabilizing challenge for them..
 
Kathryn - that's too funny! Cat squats - literally! I guess you used the Cat Stance, too...

I subbed IMax 3 for Plyo X today. I love that workout! But with the running I've been doing, my HR doesn't get as high, which is a bummer. I usually peak at 161 on this one, today I peaked at 149 and that was with some major effort. Oh well.
