Disclaimer: P90X is tough and you should be in decent shape before going all out using this system. You could certainly use P90X to get fit but listen to your body and only do what you can. This is *my* journal and I do not advocate that anyone do what I'm doing. Some of it is probably very foolish and you should do your own research and/or consult with a doctor before doing crazy stuff like this.
Super condensed version today. It's been one of those weeks and I'm behind on just about everything.
Day 80 - I did P90X Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps. Two words: Pike Presses. Three more words: Wear a helmet.
I postponed Ab Ripper X because my ribs hurt. Later in the day, I did Turbo Jam's 20 Minute Jam and did the Ab Ripper minus a couple of the exercises that my ribs wouldn't allow me to do.
Walking: 4.26 miles.
Day 79 - I did P90X Back and Biceps. I can't do the pull-ups but I really like this workout. I realized afterward that I had messed up my schedule and done P90X back to back. Oh well. Completely different muscles.
I followed Back and Biceps with p90X+ Abs/Core. This DVD is easier on my ribs than Ab Ripper X. You do ab exercises from 4 different positions: hanging from a pull-up bar, standing, on your hands and knees or in plank, and on your back. It's the on-your-back exercises that hurt my ribs but they're only a quarter of the exercises.
Walking: 3.67 miles.
Day 78 - I did a Turbulence Training workout followed up with P90X Kenpo X. I still can't throw the punches with full strength, especially the uppercuts but I still build up quite a good sweat.
Walking: 5.39 miles. I covered some ground today.
I followed my calorie plan for the week and I iced my ribs when I had time. They are starting to feel better so maybe another week of healing (this is healing?) and I'll be going full speed on everything again.
I have a couple of success stories but I'm going to have to save them for Tuesday.
Keep pressin' play.
