P90x Week 12: Day 1 - Chest Shoulders Triceps

This is our Easter Turkey Dinner workout ... we got back from a family dinner tonight and squeezed in the first workout of the last week. It was pretty intense and the food overdose didn't help. We are happy to be in the last week, and look forward to measuring the results at the end of the week... unless we keep eating like we did today (we may need to do another round of P90x to work that off).

P90x Week 11: Day 3 - Shoulders and Arms

We have filled up our workout sheet for Shoulders and Arms - we won't be doing this routine again... for this round of p90x anyway.

A funny thing happened during the workout today - my (almost) 2 year old daughter tried to help me during the Crouching Cohen Curls - she has never done that before. I guess I looked like I was struggling and needed a spot.

P90x Week 10: Day 1 - Chest, Shoulders, Triceps

What a workout! I don't know what it was, but my triceps were dead today - I was really feeling them in the first few exercises. It was a real struggle to match what I did last time we did this workout. It may be that I was using the pushup bars for most of pushup exercises... does that put more stress on the triceps? Anyway, it was a good workout.

P90x Week 9: Day 3 - Shoulders and Arms

The kids seem to realize we are tied up when we workout and are not able to watch them as close as we do at other times. Today, for example, they pulled a box of corn flakes from the cupboard, took it to their room, and dumped it all over the floor... the whole box! By the time we realized it, there was corn flakes all over the bedroom and into the hallway... lovely.

We're still feeling it from the weekend volleyball tournament, especially in the warm-up.

p90x Week 7 Day 1 - Chest Shoulders Triceps

Weighted circles are a killer - I am only using 10lbs, but it brings a tear to my eye every time I do them.

This program has been good for my shoulders though. I had been suffering from bicep tendinitis for the past 5 years or so - the pain has seemed to go away since doing these exercises. I don't know if it is this workout that has helped, or if it is yoga or x stretch - regardless, I can now sleep though the night on my shoulders!

P90x Week 5 Day 6 Kenpo and Week 6 Day 1 - Chest Shoulders Triceps

I've been a bit delinquent on my posts, but don't worry, no workouts were missed (I know you were worried). So here are two new videos: Kenpo x from Saturday, and Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps from today. Shilleem missed Saturday's workout due to illness. Luckily I was sick on Sunday which allowed to recover enough for Monday's workout.

P90x Chest, Shoulders, Triceps - Week 5: Day 1

Did Tony say there was some trick to the "One Arm Pushup"... cuz I think I missed it if he did. Those are very hard. I was able to do some on my knees, but I think it will take some time to get up to proper form.

Feels good to be back to doing some weights. I think I'm going to feel it tomorrow due to the recovery week. I think that is the idea though - don't let the muscles get into a routine; it will stunt their growth.

My old friend "Ab Ripper" is back too... I didn't miss him much; he's still a pain in the side...

Week 3: Day 3 - P90x Shoulders and Arms - Doin it like a Teradactyl

First, I should probably explain the title... there's an amusing part in this workout during reverse arm-circle warm-up, where Tony compares the movement to a Teradactyl backing out of trouble - good for a laugh the first couple times you hear it and diverts your mind off the burning shoulders... Thanks Tony! (Now that we are in week three we are on a first-name basis)

About the workout - mid-week and feeling pretty good. We did some measurements this morning that were encouaging... not a ton of progress, but there was some and it was measureable. I think measuring progress helps to keep going - that is probably true for any goal.

Today, I actually did all the ab ripper exercises too - not in perfect form, but I was trying/struggling the whole time - no breaks! This is a huge for a guy that detests that workout! I'm taming the beast...

Enjoy:

P90x Week 2: Day 03 Shoulders and Arms

Another day done! We noticed the camera was shaky again during the warm-up, so we had to do a warm-up re-do. This means we actually burned a few more calories on this work out than normal... good work Shilleen!

This workout is a favorite because it doesn't exhaust with cardio - it is "shoulder - bi - tri, shoulder - bi - tri"... although it is followed by the Ab Ripper which drains any strength left... I HATE IT!... still no love.

Week 1 - Day 3: Shoulders and Arms!

Here it is - week 01: Day 03 complete P90x Shoulders and Arms workout! If only we could move this fast in real life - we'd get so much done in a day.



I find in this workout I have to watch my dumbbell weight - if I go too heavy in the beginning, my arms are toast mid-way through. If I pace it right - it is a great work out! The real challenge for me is the 16 minutes of Ab insanity (aka: Ab Ripper X) after the Shoulders and Arms workout. In the words of Tony "I HATE IT, yet I love it"... well, I agree with the first part of his statement, I am working on the second part. I added a new fitness goal to my list: to be able to do all the exercises for the full length of time within the next 90 days! Common, who's with me??
