P90X Review – Week #4……..I just finished doing P90X Shoulders & Arms with my wife and brother in law. I’m so glad I did this workout today. I needed it so badly you wouldn’t believe it.
I have been dogging it since last Wednesday when I did an hour of P90X in the morning, followed immediately by 2 hours of racquetball and then another 2 hours of racquetball that evening.
I was feeling great the next day, but that was my niece’s wedding and for whatever reason I just dogged my workouts ever since. I haven’t felt like doing much of anything workout wise this week.
I’ve been assistant coaching my 12 year old’s football team, but I don’t get any workout benefit from that. My left knee is making all kinds of fussing noises and my right shoulder and triceps are still sore from a month ago.
Surprisingly, none of the exercises in the P90X Shoulders & Arms workout really give my shoulders or triceps too much trouble other than the “lying down triceps extensions” routine as well as the very last “side-tri-rise” exercise.
The rest of the exercises I”m pretty much pain free with. I feel pretty good right now…better mental outlook and attitude so I’m grateful I got off my fat butt and did my P90X for the day.
So….as of right now I have a little momentum……a very little bit of momentum and I need to capitalize on what little amount I have and keep running with this ball so to speak.
I keep pushing all our football players to work through the pain and exhaustion so I better be willing to do the same when it comes down to me and my performance……..don’t wanna be a hypocrite with these boys.
I have to stop using lame excuses to justify skipping a day which turns into 2 or 3 or more days when I don’t workout.
I do love being able to workout with my wife…she really helps me get in the right frame of mind. She enjoys the workouts and feels so much better about herself when she’s consistent with them. We’re still struggling with her work schedule, but we’ve decided that we just need to suck it up and get up everyday at 5:s0 am and just do it…..plain and simple…no excuses.
The bottom line is that we enjoy spending the time together with P90X and it helps set the tone for everything else once that one hour workout is complete…..it’s a much better way to start the day. We’ll have to make a concerted effort this next week and push each other to make sure we actually do this every day.
I will just keep moving forward and learn from my past mistakes and then put them behind me.
As Tony says – “Bring it!”
