P90X Day 1 - Chest and Back

This was an absolute killer. You do twelve exercises two times each. I was pretty angry at myself when I could only do six diamond push-ups after I set a goal of twelve.

I was panting for air and my muscles were burning. I really got a chance to see that even though I have been running for two weeks, I am still hopelessly out of shape. The ab-ripper comes on after the workout and I could only do it for three minutes (it is supposed to last sixteen).

I will have 12 chances to do this specific workout, so I look to get much much better at it. Fortunately, the 55 minutes wen by super-quickly and the workout was fun...at least when I was able to do the exercises.

So I've got 89 more days, and I've got to stick to it. My goal is to lose 25 pounts by April 25. If all the workouts are this intense, that should be a breeze...
