Day 29 is Chest, Shoulders and Triceps followed by Ab Ripper X. I also had a little extra energy at the end so decided to do a little Ten Minute Trainer Cardio work.
Boy that was a tough day, but it felt great!
Chest, shoulders and triceps is a different routine then I was doing the first 30 days. This switch is designed to help you avoid a plateau. I think it will work. Today was a lot of new moves, more intense push-ups and definitely some tough shoulder and tricep work. This rotation of push-ups includes the push-ups with claps in the middle, one armed push-ups, they push-ups that slide your arms to the side to incorporate a shoulder fly. I love the variety. In this workout is also more weight work to get your shoulders and triceps to really feel the burn.
Once I finished that intense workout, I did my standard Ab Ripper X. I weight deserately to get to the mason Twists at the end because I know my torture is soon over. But, wanting those 6 pack abs means doing the work. And ab ripper X will get me there!
Since I seemed to have a little extra energy, I decided to do a little bonus workout. Where that extra energy came from was a surprise, must have been that recovery week was what my body needed to jump start Phase 2.
My bonus workout was the 10 minute trainer cardio workout. This workout comes with a resistance band that straps to a door and goes around your waist. I opted to skip the extra resistance work. I am so glad I did. the cardio workout is 10 minutes, 10 moves each a minute each. It reminds me a lot of Plyometrics in P90X with some jumping in tires. It made me feel like I was training for football practice, running away from the defensive line. All I know it was short, fun and I was soaking wet when I was done. I will definitely add some more of the 10 minute workouts into my daily rotation. And I will remember to use this on days were I am short on time. No more excuses, here I come.
