Day 5 P90X

So I started P90X on Monday this week. I took some pitures and felt like I was going to die on a couple of the days. These days would be when I did Plyometrics and Yoga. If you ever want to feel like your going to die after doing a workout try the Plyometrics and go all out. Yoga on the other hand will make you feel so weak. After 45 min of the standing postures you might as well feel like you could roll over and die. But the benefit of yoga is that it teaches you to relax.

All the other days have been good. I have worked out hard but sometimes just wishing that I could afford a set of free weights instead of having the bands. But I guess that is why I have had a gym membership in the past.

So now this week I have not lost much weight if any. I have weighed myself and have only seen about 1-1/2 pound difference. that could easily be just that I did not eat as much the day before or just that my body is in flux.

Today being Friday was my leg & back day. I have to be a little careful as I have two bad knees and so I have to tone down the moves at first so that I don't cause any damage. Wall Squats I would say are the most difficult, especially the single leg squats. I cant say much about the pull ups as I have always had a difficult time with them. When I did this last year I got up to being able to do 5. That is really good for me. This time around I started off a little better. So I am hoping and have a goal to be able to do 10 by the time I am done with this whole process.

So now for the Bad news. Here are my pictures. You should be ok since this is only a few pictures of me so you won't have to wear protective eye wear.
