P90X: Day 56
Today I started week 9 of P90X. I have entered the third and final phase of my first round of the program … and I kicked ass today.
Week 9 Day 1 starts with Chest & Back followed by Ab Ripper X. Chest & Back is about 50 minutes of push-ups and pull-ups with a few resistance band sets for the back. Yup. 50 minutes of push-ups and pull-ups. There are 6 different types of push-ups and 6 different back exercises.
I set a personal best today: 90 push ups during the workout. It felt great to reach this number. I’m not sure if I’ve done 90 push-ups total in my life up to this point; never mind in just 50 minutes. Plus, 8 weeks ago when I started the program I had to finish this workout doing push-ups on my knees. Now, I’m close to 100 with my knees off the floor. I’m very impressed and proud of myself.
Nutrition could have been a little bit better today. I did start the day with a Greenberry Shakeology and ate every 2-3 hours, but the quantities of my main meals could have been a bit more. I guess I need to hit the grocery store so my kitchen is a little better stocked.
Tomorrow: Plyometrics
