Week 2: Day P8X

Day P8X- only 82 more days to go. The first 3 weeks you do the same workout regime each week in the same order. Saturday we did Chest and Back. The push ups were a little easier; easier meaning I did a few more reps. For many of the push-ups I was on my knees still, but I literally had no upper arm strength when we started, so I'm making small gains. During one of the decline push ups I think I strained a core ab muscle. At first, I thought it was a side cramp, but then as I continued to try the push-ups, I just broke down and started to cry. The pain in my left side was horrible. I could hardly sit up or lift my leg off the ground. I wasn't able to complete the entire ab-ripper X because my abs were hurting so badly.

Day P9X- Plyo. I was able to complete the entire Plyo routine today. It was much harder this time for J and I. Not sure why? Perhaps, the first time we didn't know what to expect and this time we knew so we challenged ourselves harder. I'm hoping my ab muscle is just a strain. I don't think girls can get hernia's at my age, so I might just skip out on the ab-rippers for another day or 2 and then try again later this week if it feels better.
