Day 8 – Chest & Back/ARX

Woke up before the family to get the workout done. Since it’s Saturday I got up after 7 and still got a workout and shower in before anyone else was out of bed. Little jealous of their sleep, but felt great about my accomplishment. But, I skipped Ab Ripper due to the family awakening.
                               
Did more push-ups and pull-ups then last week. So, that’s nice. I really enjoy how P90X has the workout sheets where you write down what you do. Gives me an idea of how I did last week and a push to do better this week. I’m too busy and tired to hope I’d remember any of these numbers without them written down. This week I did more of the push-ups regular before dropping to my knees to finish. Hopefully this will keep improving every week. I’m looking forward to seeing where I am with push-ups by the end of the 90 days.

I’m really hoping that at the end of this I can do a pull-up. Thus far I’ve been using bands to stimulate the pull-up move. Last time I finished P90X I could almost do a pull-up, though I was pregnant and didn’t like the pulling on my side muscles when I tried. This time I want to do a pull-up. Or two. I’m doing a higher number with the bands and thinking about stepping up to the next strength band.
