So I woke up a little sore from my HIIT yesterday; I think the push ups did it, because when I tried to do push ups for my home workout today I could barely do it. It feels good though, and I might be mistaken but I think I see more definition in my arms.
Today's free workout on my phone was pretty good-- again it was hard while I was doing it, but after a rest I felt fine. I found out that I can't do clapping push ups yet, and contrary to popular belief, I cannot hold even a one minute plank. I am giving myself 2 weeks to build up to a one minute plank. The Ides of March shall be my progress check. Bring it!

Ab Ripper @ Home
Greetings! I write this barely able to lift myself because my muscles are so incredibly rocked. Monday, I went to the gym on post with the intention of working with the trainer, but instead hung out on the elliptical for an hour and came home to use one of my phone apps. I used Workout Trainer, and it had the P90X Ab Ripper routine on it, so I did that. It was hard while I was doing it, but once I rested, it didn't hurt anymore. Nor did it hurt afterward. And even today, I am not really in pain so much as just can't move. Surprisinly my abs are fine-- what's affected is my super lower abs and what seems like my upper leg/front part of my hip area. My right leg in particular does not want to let me lift it above about 6 inches off the ground. I'll proabably end up doing it again, but none too often!
