Day 19 – Legs & Back/ARX

Again I found myself awake when the alarm went off. Today because my daughter was eating. So, when she finished I started my day and that left me a little pressed for time. I really thought I would have to put off Ab Ripper until the evening, but I was able to get it done and grab my Shakeology for breakfast on my way out the door.

I really like how this workout pairs two totally different areas of the body. Just when legs are getting sore you get to take a break and do some pull-ups. However I think doing Ab Ripper after a leg workout is just mean.

 

I really look forward to when the kiddos are older and I can do the workout when they’re awake and nearby (without too much fussy or interruptions). I love the idea of them seeing Mom working out and knowing that fitness is important. I want us to be an active family as they grow and keeping my energy level up will help with that. There was one evening early in this P90X round where I attempted to work out while the kiddos were up. Didn’t pan out for me, but it was sure cute watching my 18mo old son try to do jumping jacks with me. He got the arm motions down and tried to bounce his legs. He kept looking between me and the TV; probably trying to figure out why I was doing (or trying to do) what the people on the TV were doing. Hopefully the lesson he learns is to be active, not to imitate everything he sees on TV…
