P90X Block 2---kicks my trash

Dear P90X Block 2,

As a die hard workout fan, I would like to be the first to congratulate you on officially kicking my trash! Yes, I said kick my trash. :) This block is definitely more extreme than the first. If you could please take the chest, shoulders, triceps video and remove it from the block I would be perfectly OK with that.

Signed, The girl with the shaking arms


Ya like that letter? I think it suits the way I'm feeling right about now. The chest, shoulder, triceps video is definitely the MOST difficult for me. My arms are shaking right now from getting my butt kicked! I think I've entered the realm of the more sadistic type workout personality: I tend to enjoy being incredibly sore. LOL! It shows me that I'm not at a plateau (which is what I tend to struggle with) and that I am by no means taking it easy. P90X is so fun, and is constantly changing it up and confusing the body. Let me just give you a little insight into the dvd I did today. (chest, shoulders, triceps) If you don't like push ups then you WON'T like this video...lol. I just so happen to struggle with push ups,(I'm pretty sure most women do, unless your Gwen Stefani or PINK) and there are plenty of push ups to go around in this video. It's pretty much push ups, shoulders, triceps- repeated over and over again. By the end you might just fall flat on your face while trying to slowly descend your body down into the push up while your arms are screaming NO MORE PLEASE!! (or at least that's what happened to me.)

Food for thought P90X creators: WHY do you save the one arm and clap push ups to the end of the video??!! COME ON!

Anyway today was CRAZY. Also one more thought before I close out this post regarding Pink, I have to share this because I thought this was AWESOME and another reason why I wanted this P90X program. My fave magazine is Womens Health and in that mag last month there was a interview with Pink, they were asking her the regular stuff they ask what do you eat, whats your workout routine, about her tour, etc. She was telling them she does NOT work with a trainer contrary to popular belief, she does her workouts on her own. She also said that she was visiting her brother ans sis in law and that her sis in law was doing a workout that Pink could NOT keep up with, it made her angry that she couldn't do it so she decided she'd get it and master it. Ya want to guess what workout it was?? Oh yes it was P90X!! Now keep in mind she is not being paid to say what she said, she's not a spokesperson for the company or anything. But she said she takes it on the road with her and she does that and some extra cardio to keep in shape. I'm a believer! :)
