P90x Day 43 - Chest, Triceps, Shoulders, Ab-Ripper

So far so good for this week. With the help of my lovely wife going "Are you going to get out of bed or not" this morning I was able to get up and get a workout in before work. I'm still so tired when I wake up regardless of how much I sleep, but I have to believe that's going to pass shortly. Yesterday was the last day of anti-biotics so I'm declaring myself officially cured. I've still got a bit of a random cough sometimes, but I think that's more clearing out the junk from last week than an actual illness.

Today's workout was Chest,Triceps, Shoulders or "Push day". I can't say that I'll miss this workout too much when I get back to "Push/Pull" but it's a real doozy of a workout. I'm still amazed at how much of a workout you can get in simply doing different types of pushups. It's amazing that the fitness industry has convinced us as a nation that in order to build muscle and get fit you have to have alot of fancy or expensive equipment. But the honest truth about that is that it simply isn't true. Using your own body weight you can get a better workout most people do in the gym. It's all about determination.

Not the best Ab-Ripper workout today. But I can feel it for what little I got done.

Diet this weekend was decent and got this morning started right nutritionally. I'm hoping to ride the wave of new energy for the last two weeks of this phase and hopefully put up some decent results.

Plyometrics tomorrow and running. My legs are still warm from Saturday's Kenpo workout so I'm sure tomorrow will be a great workout. Hopefully my lungs are catching up to the rest of my body as far as conditioning.
