P90X Day 3 after 8 miles on the Computrainer.

Day 3 of P90X is history. We started off the workout with an 8 mile time trial race on the computrainer. This course was a gradual climb with about 1.5 miles of flats. All total we put in about 24:30 minutes of hard riding time. Our legs were pretty beat from last nights workout. After a good warm up and the initial surge at the starting line, the legs started working like I wanted them to. We left the bike shop and and drove home. As soon as we hit the door we were on to day 3 of P90X.

Today consisted of Shoulders, triceps, and biceps. This was a pretty tough workout and I definitely had to back off the weights as I struggled through the last 20 minutes. There were several exercise routines that I had never seen before. The methods really isolated the muscles very well. The bands are a little hard to get used to. The easiest way I have found is to watch the people on the DVD and model my form after them. It gets more comfortable then for sure. I found myself switching back and forth from dumbbells to bands depending on the exercise.

If anyone is wondering about muscle soreness, the answer is YES, we are without a doubt feeling the pain. The good thing is that the pain isn’t to where you don’t want to move or get out of bed. It’s different than the pain one would experience after hitting a heavy bench press workout after a month off.

Speaking of bed, it’s time to hit the sack. damn I miss my late night snacks ๐Ÿ™‚
Day 4 should be interesting. hmmmm, Yoga, this is a first for me.
