P90x Day 5 - Legs and back

This morning I felt a little better. The pain in my arms and when I tried to use my elbows was very minor.

Then I did Legs and Back this morning.

Now I hurt.

My legs are pretty torched after the workout today which I am nicknaming "Everybody Loves Lunges". My flexibility is still pretty poor and as a result my Hamstrings are really tight. As a result my lower back which is an extension of my hamstrings is really really really (repeat) sore. I can't even really stand up straight right now and I'm walking around in somewhat of a T-Rex posture. I've been taking some Advil and trying to stretch so we'll see how it goes. I don't feel like I injured my back in any way and while there is a bit more pain in the lower right where I blew out a disc in my back 2 years ago I don't think I did any damage to that.

I could tell my lower back was weak and sore from all the squats and lunges as I was finishing the workout. I skipped the Ab Ripper today just to make sure that I didn't injure myself. My core strength and flexibility just isn't where it needs to punish my core.

Tomorrow is supposed to be Kenpo. I'm going to do it unless I'm really hurting. If that's the case I'll flip rest/stretch and Kenpo.

I was joking around today with a friend saying that at the end of my 90 days I'll be just about at the point I should have been at before I started the program. Sadly I'm not sure that is too far from the truth.

Overall my energy is way up today. I was really dragging the last two days but today other than my lower back I've felt really good. Which always helps morale.

I'm really really looking forward to the stretching DVD.

I'll push play on something tomorrow.
