Day 3: Shoulders & Arms, Ab-Ripper X DONE

Is it really only day 3?? It seems like I have been doing this forever. I feel so close to Tony, now. Hehe...

Seriously, that guy cracks me up. Every time he says "gorrrrgeous" with that wonky British (??) accent I giggle furiously. He was particularly silly in the shoulders and arms workout. I really liked this one, but I think I need to get some heavier weights. I tried some of the moves with the bands like Daniel... oh, Daniel. So far he is my P90X boyfriend. So dreamy, and did I mention he is wearing a backwards hat the whole time? Yea, he was a good motivator. Anyway, I think I want to pick up some heavier weights for some of these exercises. I also have to figure out what to do for the chair dips because as Julie knows - my dining room chairs are a BIT high. I tried using the ottoman but that didn't work very well.

This time I took some notes so I could remember what I wanted to say. One thing I forgot to mention on the other days was that I get so confused sometimes because I am really used to workouts where the leader mirrors - meaning when she says use your right arm, she uses her left so it is like you are looking at a mirror. Tony doesn't do that. So sometimes I am visually following him and then get all confused when he says, "Ok, now use your left arm" and that was what I was already doing. I will get used to this method in time but right now it's throwing me off a bit. Another note: Dreya totally has pit stubble in this one. That makes me happy. If the ripped, awesome trapeze artist can forget to shave her pits, then she seems just a bit more human and relatable, ya know?

There's a bonus round on this one, and since I had gotten up a bit later than I wanted I decided to skip it, especially since I had the Ab Ripper coming up. Today's a holiday, so I did it in the morning, but I don't think I will skip it normally because I will be doing it on Monday evenings when I have more time.

So, after I finished the shoulders and arms I was happy because although I felt tired and worked, I wasn't super sweaty. YAY! No washing hair today.

Ha. Ha. Ha. The joke was on me.

Ab Ripper X is only 15 minutes long but it is a KILLER. I could only do about half of each set before petering out. I think I said "Are you effing KIDDING me??" about 50 times throughout. I know I will get better at it as the weeks go on, but right now I feel like a loser doing this. Oh, well - just more room for improvement!! ;o)
