P90X Chest, Shoulders and Triceps...


Yesterday was great. My leg is feeling stronger!! I had to modify some of the moves in my cardio today as I was doing Drill Max and could not do the high impact moves due to my injury. It worked well however for a good way to get my HR up and give me the right about of challenge without pushing it too hard. My weight session was great. I lifted well. My chest was sore from all the push ups on Tuesday but I "pushed" through.  I can really see the benefits of logging each exercise with reps and weight as last night I was able to read how my shoulder work has increased in such a short amount of time.

Never forget that progress comes in many forms...from the scale, inches lost, increase in aerobic fitness, lowering of your resting heart rate, increase in muscle mass and strength and improving your dietary habits which will last a life time!  Lets work hard to progress every day in some way or another, always taking a step forward in the right direction!
