Day Two

Let's just say that I had to take Ibuprofen to sleep last night. My body HURTS! I did 50 minutes of plyometrics last night (high intensity jumping exercises). I think I've been run over by a train. Greg took last night off - he might have strep throat and sleep sounded like a better idea to him. We did buy a "recovery drink" and protein powder as recommended by the video - to help our poor muscles recover. Maybe it will start working some magic. Tonight is shoulders and arms - as if they don't hurt enough already...

Day One

Last night was day one of our new fitness adventure, P90X. If you are not familiar with P90X, you might catch a glimpse of it on an info-mercial. It is "extreme body-shaping." Greg and I kicked butt last night for 1 hour 15 minutes, working our chest, back, and abs. I did 50+ push-ups (modified, of course!). We followed the advice of many people by modifying the workout to our ability level, yet I still feel like I might have been run over by a truck. At least my upper body anyway! We also took our "before" pictures as recommended by the videos so we can see our progress at the end of the 12 week program. We'll be working out 6 days a week for at least an hour. After studying my "before" pictures, I think this is a good thing! I'll keep you posted on our progress.
