P90X - day 3

Ok, so Day 3 we did chest and back and let me tell you that it is 10 times more difficult than shoulders and arms. I'm super tight today. I have been up for about 3 hours now and the soreness is starting to set in. It feels so nice. I pushed myself hard last night and every time I thought I couldn't do any more I did some more. My shoulders are sore, my chest is sore, my back is sore and my legs are sore.

About the workout:

I can't do a pull-up or a chin-up without assistance (my husband laughed at me because I couldn't do one, but he wasn't in there doing the workout). Tamara and I needed to use a chair for all the exercises on the bar. The push-ups were difficult to do at the end and i had to do them the sissy way. The way I look at it is that at least I'm doing it. My core isn't strong enough to do the standard push-up. Every time I try my lower back pulls. Anyway, the workout was fast paced and very hard. It got my heart rate going and I broke a sweat. We were very proud that we finished. There was one exercise that we couldn't do. Well, Tamara could do it better than I could. It looked like a porn star move but it was called the dive bomber. It was ridiculous!

About workout results:

I'm the same weight, which I expected. I think I need to be adding some cardio to get the results that I really need. I'm so happy that I'm actually feeling this! I know that I sound really crazy saying that, but I need to feel sore! I'm hoping that by the end of the first 30 days I can drop 8 pounds. That may be a crazy goal, but I know I can do it!
