P90X - Day 1

In my anxiousness to get my fitness back, I decided to go ahead and start P90X instead of waiting until 6 weeks postpartum. I passed the fit test… almost. I have never been able to do a pull-up and my abs are pretty much non-existant after 9 months of pregnancy.

Day 1 was chest and back. Lots of push-ups and pull-ups (or in my case, modified pull-ups with a band). I HATE push-ups. There is a reason they’ve never made it into my normal gym routine. I’ll do all the bench presses, pec flyes, and cable crossovers you want, but I completely wuss out on push-ups. P90X has you do like 30 varieties of push-ups too. Ok, well, it’s more like 6, but it still sucks. I’m not able to do a decline push-up or a divebomber yet, but hopefully that changes soon. Day 1 also involves ab work, but I’m going to wait a few more weeks before I start.

Plyometrics tomorrow. Fun stuff.
