Chest and Back, Ab Ripper: Week 2
The start of week 2! I am so happy I made it through my first week. It was tough but I did it! I am pushing myself as hard as I can! I am proud to say I was able to do a few more push ups than I could do on day 1. That proves I am getting stronger. I did not get dizzy or nauseous this time! I upped my weight also. I am using the bands for my pull ups and I upped the resistance on the bands too. I am pushing to be able to do my first real pull up by the halfway point. I am starting to feel good about myself again! It's only one week in but I am already seeing a flatter stomach. My weight has actually gone up a few pounds. I am attributing that to some water retention due to the weight training.
Ab Ripper X was a good workout today. I felt like I could do more than last week. I am pushing really hard on this too. I want to have a nice looking stomach once the fat is gone. My core is getting much stronger. Yesterday after dinner was the first time since I can remember that I got up from the table and my lower back did not hurt! I'm sure that a lot of the little aches and pains that I just chalked up to aging will slowly start to go away!
BRING IT!
I would recommend you to perform these cardio workouts before doing your abdominal exercises. Add in a good diet plan to your routines and you'll be noticing changes in no time! Be sure to workout no less than 3 days a week making sure that you manage to finish each core exercise within the week.
