P90X Day 5 - Legs & Back, Ab Rip X

Workout time: 6:15am - 7:30am

After getting my butt kicked yesterday, I realize that I have a long way to go. Nevertheless, I will "Bring It" for the entire 90 days to put the program and my body to the test. I hope(know) that this will bring huge improvement to my dancing skills as well.

This morning was Legs & Back followed by the dreaded Ab Ripper X.

Legs and Back is another great workout imploring various lunges, squats, calf raises and other legs movements as well as a great variety of pull-ups for back development. It's amazing how much of a killer workout you can achieve with body-weight only movements alone.

There's one exercise, in particular, that stands out to me - The Wall Squat. To perform this exercise, find a wall , now squat down with your back against the wall until your thighs are at a 90 degree angle to your lower legs (just like you're sitting down). Hold this for 30 sec or so then start alternating lifting your feet and holding... This will sure burn your legs quick as my thighs we screaming for relief.

Ouch.. but I love it!
