Just 89 More Days

We did our first workout last night. The first video was Chest and Back. The second was Ab Ripper X. Wow what a workout. It killed me. Julie was wiped out as well. I think I started off with too many push ups the first round because by round two I was dying. I took it slow by doing regular push ups and when I got tired I moved to push ups on my knees but my arms were jello by the end of the video. I also did all of my pull ups using a chair and even those assisted pull ups were killing me.

I was exhausted when we started Ab Ripper X and by the end of the 3rd exercise all I could do was flop on the ground like a fish out of water trying to follow along with the video. I need to get more flexible to do most of the ab exercises.

Julie did very well. She was also tired but she didn't seem and dead as I was. Maybe she is just not as wimpy as I am.
