Day 1 Overview

Okay, I did the first day of P90X last night and I made it all the way the way through the workout. It was the core synergistics routine. Now I'm not gonna tell you that I did all the reps or even completed all the moves the way they were supposed to be completed, but I did it. I sweat a lot, too. I usually don't do that. So that means I worked hard and pushed myself.

I am just going to state for the record again that I hate push-ups. It seemed like we were doing push-ups every 2 seconds. What the heck? I know, I know - push-ups work the entire body, yadda yadda. I am just saying that of all of the parts of my body that could be hurting and my wrists hurt the worst. Poor little things haven't gotten the message that the rest of me is fat and they need to bulk up a little to hold my weight in all of the different push-up moves. Oh well, no pain, no gain right?

Other than that I did better than the first time I tried this to see if I was gonna like it. My BFF and I have been using Skype to exercise together for the last couple of weeks. You might ask why do they have to do that why don't they just meet somewhere? Well she happens to live in South Florida and with me in Northern Indiana it makes it a little difficult. She is a month ahead of me, but the regimen matches up pretty nicely. So we can still work out together most of the time. Push-ups aside, I liked the moves in Core. They were simple and to the point. This time I figured out how to do Superman-Banana and Banana Rolls. Bow-to-Boat was still difficult, but I got there. By the end I could barely hold myself up, but I did and by the end of cool down I felt pretty good. I relaxed a few, then had to go out and carry water to the horses, but that wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be either.

So overall, I think it was a successful first day and can't wait to see what Cardio is like tonight!
