Today I did the first disc of the P90X workout. Today was Chest & Back with Ab Ripper X afterwords. The Chest & Back workout focused mainly on that with tons of push ups and chin ups. Since I don't have a chin up bar at the moment, I had to hold off on those exercises. As for the push ups, I had to modify at times and drop to my knees. In the beginning I did about 12 of the classic push ups. Then we started doing other variations. I tried to stay on my toes but soon had to drop to my knees. At the end of the workout he started to do dive bombers. Those were some of my favorite to do with The Biggest Loser workouts. But to attempt dive bombers after 20 minutes of push ups was virtually impossible. I was barely able to do one complete dive bomber. My arms were just too weak and tired.
Long story short, I think I did pretty good for my first day. I modified where I needed to but kept the pace up. Then we went into the Ab Ripper X portion of the workout. Uhm.....yeah....I'm gonna have to wait on that. I was barely able to do a few of them, even with my modifications. I'll have to slowly work my way into that one.
The one thing that concerned me about the workout was that I did not sweat as much as I thought I would. Granted, I did not suit up like I used to. I have on a pair of light shorts and a t-shirt. That's all. I figured I would need to be more flexible and comfortable for these workouts. In the middle of it I did feel a good sweat coming on, but nothing like the buckets I used to drop with The Biggest Loser workouts. But again, this was just Chest & Back. I'm sure I'll be sweating in the coming days.
