Oy, today’s workout is supposed to be legs and back followed by Ab Ripper X. I didn’t have time to do the entire workout this morning since I only have 60 minutes that I can dedicate to the routine in the mornings. I’m going to try to do the Ab portion later today.
I have yet to do the Ab Ripper workout and between you me and the fencepost, I’m scared of it.
Anyway, my butt muscles, my hamstrings, my quads etc. are seriously sore. The only part of me that isn’t sore are my calves, but that’s probably only because I always work out those muscles with calf raises etc.I did notice that I can bend more already and I was able to hold the runner’s stretch or pose or whatever it’s called with more ease today.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to do any of the back portion of the routine. I’m too heavy for the chin up bar so we didn’t get it. I have nowhere to attach the bands to, so I can’t do the back exercises with my bands either. I need to figure out a way to fix that.
It hasn’t been a week, but I’m already feeling better. All I need to do now, is to get my eating under control and in line.
Hey stay with it. I am in Phase I as well but I am on week 3 there are still alot of exercises that I am unable to do. But try every exercise at least twice and next thing you know is 2 times will turn into 4. Keep up the hard work.
Thank you Kim! I’m already starting to feel better when I do the exercises. I don’t know if it’s my mind playing tricks on me, but I’ll take it nonetheless
I’m doing the “Lean” track, which track are you on?
Beachbody makes an attachment that goes in a door jam that will allow you to use bands to do the pull downs. It will be important for you to find some way to do the back exercises, as you work back twice a week throughout P90X (except for recovery weeks, of course). Stick with it and the results will follow. Sounds like you are off to a good start.

Thanks Dave!
