Day 59: Shoulders and Arms

I'm being prompt today! 

This workout felt like coming home to an old friend.  I haven't done it in a while, and it was nice to get back to it.  I was a bit worried going in because doggonnit if my chest and shoulders didn't still ache from a few days ago.  I just trusted the system Tony's set up, and it is a good one.  I felt the pain in the stretch/warm-up, but once I got going with the actual workout, I didn't notice the old pain.

I did notice the new pain, but it's a good pain.  I also enjoyed my reminder to not smash my face.  I had almost forgotten that old TOTD, and it's just as relevant now as it was then.  I was amazed how much stronger I was at this routine today.  Certain moves that were struggles to get to the 10 rep mark with a lower weight weren't struggles today.  I was consistently taking myself to 15 reps with heavier weights.  I am going to have to bust out bands soon.  They're cheaper than dumbbells, and I've about maxed out what I can do with the hand weights I've got for this routine.

And speaking of bands, I've decided that I am going to do P90X while visiting Illinois (I can pack bands easily.  That's the transition I was going for there).  I was planning on just jogging, but with the heat they're having this summer, I know I'll rarely get myself in the great outdoors to do it.  I don't do well in the heat.  So, if I take bands with me, I should be fine.  I just don't want to end up taking a 12-day workout break.  That would be bad, not to mention depressing. 

I'm ready to face my day.  Sore, strong, sassy.  I needed another "s" word, and that's all I could think of!

Day 59:  Brought.
