Day 3: P90X and Family Fun Day

Today was fun with my son day.  We went to Crews Lake Park and rode the trains there. We also took a leisurely walk to the playground where I mostly stood around talking to other parents while he played. Sitting on, not as padded as I would like, bench seats was not the highlight for my already sore inner thighs. Alas, I enjoyed the great outdoors as it was a beautiful day!

Today's Workout -
I did day three of the Lean program which is Arms/Chest as well as Ab RipperX. I met a new nemesis which actually was two exercises requiring the same movement I was not capable of. The first was the ladder climber and the second was the push up to V crunch- I think. Anyway, I am not able to actually come up into a sit up. My core is non existant but moreso than that I have a horrible back. So I modify those to high crunches and hope that I will eventually be able to roll all the way up and toe my toes rolling back to a V position.
How was it? How do I feel?
 As always, I am glad you asked. My thighs and glutes are still a little sore. My arms were rubbery immediately following the workout. I did not use a heavy weight as I only own 5 pound weights. I will be picking up some 8 and 10 pound weights also. Over all I feel pretty good. I definitely think I will be sore in the morning.
Sidenote -
 The aforementioned "before" pics that were taken yesterday are still on my camera and I looked again and thought- get it on and get going Heather. So, I will keep on trucking. Next Saturday I will add my usual Kickboxing to my daily workout.

Thanks for reading. I will check back in tomorrow!
