Day 10 - Post Workout

Day 10 has proven to be much better than Day 9. I have definitely learned my lesson about morning workouts. I actually prefer to do the workouts in the evening and think that my overall athletic performance is best after 6 pm whether it be hockey, baseball or P90X workouts. I didn't get to my workout until 8:30 pm tonight. Much later than I would have liked, but I was still able to get through it without bonking. I ate dinner two hours prior.

I really pushed myself in the Shoulders and Arms routine and tried using 10 lbs weights for most of the exercises. I definitely felt the burn and will be paying for it tomorrow.

I said that I would push to complete the 300 plus reps in the Ab Ripper X routine and today I finally figured out how to accomplish that. I found that I can push myself to complete all of the reps in the set if I take a short break after each exercise. I got through most exercises without having to stop part way through. There is still room for improvement but it feels good to know that I can do if I really really really push myself.
