- P90X; Day 4 -

Yoga X...wow. I guess that the "X" at the end of Yoga should have dispelled any thoughts if mine that this would be easy. Tony and "the kids" jumped right into yoga poses/terminology that was way over my head, but I was able to catch on by watching Brandi. Im no Yoga expert, but it was pretty apparent that these moves were on the advanced side, and better suiter for seasoned yoga vets. By the end if the session, I could tell that my flexibility had increased however and I am already looking forward to next weeks Yoga X.

- P90X; Day 3 -

Shoulders and Arms tonight, followed by another Ab Ripper X session; awesome. I've never worked out my arms/shoulders in that capacity before, and I'm sure I'm gonna' feel it. I'm not going to say that this has been the easiest workout yet, because I honestly believe that Tony Horton will pop out from under my bed and make me do Seated Tricep Dips until I puke. In all honesty though, I think that by Day 3 we have all bought into the "Bring It" philosophy...that's definitely going to make it easier to meet each challenge head on and finish strong. The Ab Ripper still kicked my ass, but I've made significant progress in just the second installment.
With that being said, I'm afraid that tonights events will bring a whole new meaning to the phrase "sore as hell". I almost feel like a pansy for complaining about how wrecked I was today.

Tomorrow is Yoga X; should be a nice break. Brandi is NOT looking forward to it, and has advised me of the suckiness associated with "holding poses" (whatever that means).

Bertoglio out.

- P90X; Day 3, pre-workout -

Ok, so my intention was to originally post AFTER each workout but I gelt compelled to get on here this morning of Day 3 and try to convey just exactly how sore I am. I'm trying to remember if I have ever been this sore in my life, and so far P90X wins. I am sore in places that I didn't even know I could be sore and this doesn't exactly bode well for tonight's workout. Stay tuned...
