Today was my first time ever doing Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps.  I did not know what to expect and the amount of push-ups right off the bat scared me.  I’m fairly sure the reason the older lady was in the video was to break not only the stereotypes that only the young and supple can be fit, and also the stereotype that women have puny upper body strength – and this one I admit I feel victim to right away.  I was sure I wouldn’t be able to do more than half of this workout if the amount of push-ups kept up!

However, I am happy to admit that I could do every single move except for the one-hand push-ups I just barely did, and the clap push-ups I cheated on but still got done.  I also did a lot more reps on all the exercises than I thought I would, and even switched out for a higher weight a couple times.  Overall, this workout definitely worked some parts of my arms that have been dormant for many years I could tell because they feel all tight and tingly in spots where I’ve never felt anything before.  I think I am going to like this one, and I hope it starts to build up some extra arm muscles for me which I’m sure it will!

I also did Ab Ripper X today, and surprisingly after a week off still got 25 on each move and did not feel as burny as usual right away until about 3 moves in.  So today was a good day.

I did Cardio X yesterday and forgot to blog, not much to say about it, did good, no problems, now gearing up for super long yoga tomorrow
