I got up early enough to complete my workout this morning, and for some reason I did not look in the workbook to see what routine that I was supposed to do today. I guess I just thought that I knew what was planned. So, I ended up doing the Back & Biceps routine today instead of the Chest, Shoulders & Triceps routine. I even forgot that I was supposed to do the Ab Ripper X routine afterward(forgetting the abs may have been subconsciously intentional.) I did however, do the ab routine a few hours later, and I will do the Chest, Shoulders & Triceps routine on Tuesday where I was supposed to do Back & Biceps.
The Back & Biceps routine was just the kind of routine that I was looking forward to, to start off Phase 2. I love it! I have never in my life, done so many curls in one workout, but I guess that is the nature of P90X. Just like the enormous amount of push-ups and pull-ups that are in the Chest & Back routine, except this is not a repeat routine. There is a huge variety of different types to curls. This routine also has all your favorite types of pull-ups with at least one new style(corn-cob pull-ups.) I am glad that I moved my workout to my works' gym, as the access to a large assortment of dumbbells came in handy, and It would be a real challenge to get the resistance right with bands(especially the last curl exercise were you are supposed to change resistance four times during the move.)
I was amazed when I stood on the scale today. I have been loosing, on average, one half a pound for the last four days. Then today I lost three pounds since yesterday! I am aiming to go Double and pick up the Cardio X routine three nights a week in the evening. We will see how that goes with my schedule. I am really starting to have fun now.
