Day 25: X2 Shoulders & Arms/ ARX

I was so excited that Shoulders & Arms was just over 50 mins. It’ll totally be doable to tag Ab Ripper on to that in the morning. Unfortunately, not today due to a hectic morning… but in general. This week has been really weird at night; two of the three nights have seen the kiddos up late and consequently I’ve just gone to bed with them. Here’s hoping tonight can be back to our normal schedule with me getting stuff done (including Ab Ripper) after they go to bed.

I wasn’t sure what to expect with Shoulders & Arms. With the shoulder pain I’ve been having I wasn’t sure if I was even going to be able to do it. Turns out I didn’t have to worry. The foam rolling in the beginning was great for my shoulder and the moves never hurt it! The workout was a set of moves repeated three times. I like that set up because I know exactly what’s coming next and if Tony gets long winded I can just move to the next thing.

So far Phase 2 seems heavy on the arm work and I kind of missed that after the One on Ones. Today most exercises were done on one leg or the stability ball so the balance factor really helped to work the whole body.

The low point of today was when one of my weights ‘rained’ in my eye. Our 10lb weights are the old concrete in a plastic shell type and one has a crack in it. I had to pause the DVD and rinse my eye. But, that did motivate me to duct tape the crack. Guess the weight won’t be getting any lighter anymore. Maybe it’s time for more modern weights.

 

Ooh...and I got Ab Ripper done when the kiddos went to bed. Man, that's hard!
