Day 5 P90X

Two days from finishing the first week.

My Hubby is traveling for work again, so I came home at 5 (arrived at 5) and got my daughter motivated right away. Went to the basement and started ARMS & LEGS and AB RIPPER X. Arms was all pull ups in varying stages or hands in differing positions. We both still can not do any pull ups, so we have a gold gym and we simulate the pull ups that way. It is still a strain and still gets a burn out of the muscles and that's what I want from us. To feel the burn to know that it is working and eventually will get us where we want to be. My daughter was a trooper and did her very best to keep up, she did great in the band exercises (pull=ups) the legs were harder than you would think my upper leg (top) and my calves were on fire by the time we were done.

Then we had to throw in the 17 minutes of AB Ripper. I find this hard to do but I want this part the most. A nice flat stomach. So on the exercises I can't do I do crunches. My daughter does her own version of crunches as well. I did find I was able to do more than I could the first time. Not much but more and that was encouraging. I hope to one day be able to do it all and look back and think about the time I struggled. =)

So tomorrow is Kenpo?? I think it is boxing of some sort. This will be a day of sweating and getting it done.

Keep the faith, we will get to where we need to be one way or another.
