P90X Winter 2011-12 Day 14-15: Rest Day and Chest & Back

I had a rest day (celebrated my DD's birthday) on Wednesday.  Yesterday, I did Chest & Back.  I was able to increase my pushups to 74 full, and 60 assisted pullups.  An improvement over last week, but of course still behind where I was last June.  I won't be doing C&B again until after we get back from Barcelona in February!

  1. You are very brave for doing the P90X. A friend did the whole 90 days, and then did it again. There was definitely a noticeable improvement in the before & after pics he took. I did Insanity once, but didn't do very well with the second month. It was definitely tough!

    I didn't try P90X because of how long the exercise sessions were, and the Ab Ripper,OMG, after two pregnancies, I don't think I can ever have abs like those women on the DVDs !

    Good Luck with following P90X, I hope you stick out the whole 90 days and then do another round, like my friend did !

  2. I did three full rounds in 2008-2009, then I kept starting it a bunch of times, until I did a full round and half a second round this last spring when I first did Dukan. I have had 2 kids, and yes you can have abs like that! There was one woman who had 6 or 8 kids, and her abs were unbelievable! I know it works for me, but it's a time investment for sure. It usually takes me 60-75min per workout because of interruptions. I also do a bit of ARX either before the workout as a warmup, or sometimes I did it in the morning, so I wasn't tired. I'm not doing very much of the ARX right now, that's the next thing I have to figure out, a mix of the BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) and ARX abs. The first time I did P90X I put on 7lb of muscle, but I was still 143lb at my lowest, so I'm hoping to get to 135lb w/muscle this time.
