Day 1 (again) - Chest and Back

Well I took a break from P90X for a while, so I decided instead of starting where I left off (the beginning of the first recovery week), I should really start all over. So that's what I did. My biggest problem last time was finding the time to do the full workout (usually an hour and a half), so now I have a new plan. I am going to get up first thing in the morning (on weekdays - weekends I'll be a little more flexible) and I will do my full workout then. I had wanted to do this before, but my fiance was still sleeping so it wouldn't work. Now we have an agreement that he will be getting up early (he goes to the gym at the crack of dawn most mornings anyway), so that my workout won't disturb his sleep.

Today was Day 1 (again). I did Chest and Back. I decided this time to copy the worksheet that is provided so that I didn't have to waste time writing down the name of the exercise in addition to how many reps I did. For Chest and Back this was never much of a problem because I never did more than half the reps that the guys and girl in the video did, but this was a constant cause of frustration for me in other videos.

This time I did not try to match what I did when I left off since I haven't worked out at all for several weeks. However, I did very well. During my first try at the program I was able to figure out how to accomplish more using my mind to keep me going. I was able to still apply this, so although I couldn't do quite what I could in week 3, I did better than I did on Day 1 last time.

I am excited about starting again.
