Training - P90X - Day 5 - Legs and Back - HOLY COW!!


I woke up this morning around 2:30 to take care of my daughter and when I rose I don't think I have ever been quite that nauseous before. My alarm went off at 4:23 and still not much better. However, I did get up view the exercises for the Leg and Back workout and made my way to the gym.

Once I started working out I did not feel too bad, but let me tell you the minute I was done with the workout I became quite ill to my stomach.

I did however knock this workout out. Myself and 3 other buddies all scrambled all over the Y to do this workout. People were looking at us weird as we did the Groucho walk and sorts, but let me tell you that this is a killer workout.

The fact that weights are barely used and my legs feel this fatigued is great. I have bad knees so the less heavy lifting the better.

I am writing this a few hours later and I can barely walk. I was already sore from the previous workouts and especially after Yoga X. Man, I can honestly say that I am not sure the last time I have been this sore.

My concern now is that I am in no mood to eat. My stomach is on edge. I hope that that does hurt my progress so far. I am actually surprised at how much food I have to eat.

I just hope I feel better tomorrow.

I just hope I can get out of bed tomorrow.

I can only imagine how hard Kenpo X is tomorrow.

Woe is tomorrow!

I will post my leg workout details tomorrow. I have not had time to upload it from my phone.

Nice job! Is this your first time to give P90X a try???? Yoga X is a tough workout, no matter what anyone says! It works! I like Tony's shorter version called Fountain of Youth much better! Less time consuming too! GREAT luck!

I love Legs & Back (except pull ups which we can barely do)! it is crazy how you can wear your self out on that and yet use no weights! Hope the soreness subsides (though personally experiencing soreness is indication that i put in WORK!) -sefa

Yes, this is my first time doing P90X. It is tough. I can barely get out of bed. The yoga x was really hard. My legs are still jelly 24 hours later, but it did not help that I was sick all day and barely ate anything.
