P90 Xplitive!?

So my sweet Adam purchased P90X...

Talk about a proud moment for him.  He came running downstairs a couple weeks ago telling me he bought it...Okay!?  

So the package came in the mail on Saturday and he has been studying the program from front to back...No big deal, good for him!  So he intently watched the introductory video and so forth.  He's even following the diet!  Great for him.  I told him it's just a matter of eating right, drinking lots of water and exercise.  

But this isn't about Adam, this is actually about me and what I decided to do with him.  OH MY GOSH!!!  I told Adam I would do the workouts with him!  So I get a text at 4:27 Monday morning asking if I was ready (I was upstairs and still had 3 minutes before my alarm goes off normally)  So I ignored the text for a couple more minutes then got up at exactly 4:30 to go wake Nicole up as usual.  Then I quietly went back into my room and VERY sleepily got into my workout clothes.  When I went downstairs Adam was all ready to go with the DVD on pause waiting for me.  

I knew I was in for a workout, but I wasn't quite ready for this.  The very first workout is basically all push-ups!!!  I have never really been able to do very many push-ups because of my arms.  When I do a push-up I am never able to get the full lift and rest when needed.  Anyway, I started this workout saying I will do my best and just do what I can.  So that is what I did... a full hour of push-ups and pull ups!!!  I did more push-ups in that hour than I have EVER done in my entire life to this point!  Needless to say...I am in excruciating pain in my arm and chest area two days later!!!  And I might add I'm not the only one feeling this way.  

So of course P90X is a 6 days a week workout, so of course we had to do it again last night!  Again an entire hours of working out, but this time with squats and lunges!  Ever heard of squat jacks?  Yeah me either until doing them last night...its basically doing 30 jumping jacks in squatting position X 2!  

OH MY GOSH TALK ABOUT KILLER!

(I feel for Jake today)  

Once the workout was finished I went upstairs and took a shower and chose not to talk to anyone for the rest of the night!  I decided it would be best to go to bed and sleep the nausea and pain off instead of being a grump.  

So around 10:00 this morning I got a text from Adam...R U sore

My reply....Heck Yes!!!

All I can say is, the next 88 days BETTER be worth it!  I will compare the pain I am feeling to the pain I felt regularly while training to do the half marathon.  But this is an all over pain, not just in my legs.
