Round 3 / Day 85: One-on-One with Tony Horton - 30-15 Upper Body Massacre + Killer Abs

Arms. Too. Sore. To. Type.

Round 2 / Day 85: P90X Chest, Shoulders & Triceps + Ab Ripper X

The kids spent the night at their grandparents, so I got up late (6 a.m.!) to exercise. And given that I didn't need to rush through my workout today (no diapers to change! no breakfast to make!), I took my time with Chest, Shoulders & Triceps and Ab Ripper X. For the first time in weeks, I stayed with Tony's pace; I didn't zoom ahead, nor did I skip the warm-up stretches or cool-down exercises. And as a result, I was able to increase both my reps and weights pretty substantially today.

In my frantic rush to squeeze in my daily workouts before the kids got up in the morning, I'd overlooked the importance of taking a few recovery breaks. Now I know, and knowing's half the battle.

P90X Day 85: Yoga X

I love it when Tony saunters up to Audra as she tries to stay balanced on one leg in Royal Dancer Pose. He sticks his hand right in her face and waves it. With a mixture of defiance and defensiveness, Tony then says to the camera, "I didn't mess with her ch'i." 

Whatever you say, Tony.
