Day 1: Holy Crap!

I am on the floor typing this.

Seriously. I don't know how I am going to drive. This is painful to type. What the hell was I thinking?

Seriously, it was a great workout. My reps were very low compared to the people on the video.

I thought I was going to get a little sick to my stomach when it started. I think the HEavy protein shake was not a good idea, even an hour before. Maybe add an extra 30 minutes before. I also had a carbonated (0 carbs/0 fat) soda about 2 hours before. That probably wasn't smart.

I used my MyGym for the Lawnmowers and the Heavy Pants, but the Back Flys were hard with the bands. I am not sure how well I did them and the vid didn't do a great job explaining how it should look without dumbbells.

Ab Ripper X is killer. I am usually pretty strong with my Abs, but this was pure, unadulterated torture. I was curled up in a ball crying for my whoobie!

I'm trying the recover drink right now. It's pretty good. Anything that will make me feel it less tomorrow!

Here's a quick vid that I did immediately after the workout:

(Unavailable at this time!)

I brought it today, although there were times where I thought I should quit. This blog will be a major motivational factor. I hope it is informative and interesting to anyone who has stumbled across it. But I am writing it for myself first and foremost. Thanks to anyone who is coming along for the ride.

My first words exactly: Holy Crap!

I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking that I was gonna die during Day 1....although you're a better man than I...I couldn't do Ab-ripper...just nothing left in the tank. I'll do it week 2m though.

Keep it up!
