Wow, we made it thru our first week already. So far, so good. I skipped writing about day 7 which was stretching and will combine some info into this post. Last night we started on day 8 which is back to the first DVD of chest and back.

The day 7 Stretch X was a great relaxing workout. The warm up session got are blood flowing and actually caused a few drops of sweat. The instructor broke this DVD down into about 3 different sessions which targeted all areas of the body. The stretching was perfect for loosening up all of our tight and sore muscles from the first week of P90X workouts. We followed this session up with a 1 hour interval workout on the cyclops trainer to a Robbie Ventura power cycling DVD.

Sunday is our start day. Now we are onto week 2 of phase 1. This session hammers you with push ups and pull ups. We each increased our total reps on every exercise this week. The pull ups are still the hardest part and we end up having to spot the last few reps. The other exercise that we find to be pretty hard is one called the Dive Bomber. You start this move off by being in a somewhat downward dog position. Then you slowly scoop your body down and forward in a diving motion. Once you get to the forward spot, you reverse the move. This exercise kills your shoulders and arms.

Speaking of arms, it’s time for me to run to the sporting goods store. Right now I only have a few sets of dumbells (35lb, 15lb, 5lb). I want to pick up a set of 25lb before our next arm workout DVD.

L8R,
