P90X Review: P90X Chest, Shoulders, Triceps Review

Cake Order: Got this order for an eye dr. Its German chocolate with fondant eye drops & the Snellen chart (learned the name of the eye chart in the process!).

Today's Tip: Weight Maintenance: Support
When you’re in it for the long haul it’s important to find people who really get what you’re doing and are there to cheer you on or lend an ear. A lot of my clients find that their friends or family members are supportive early on, but after they’ve reached their goal, the support can wane. In that case, turning to an online community may be key to staying on track. Even when you feel confident in what you’re doing, you’re bound to have a bad day now and then. Having at least one person you can turn to for encouragement can prevent you from slipping back into the old patterns that led to the weight gain.Read more on Shape.


Today's Review: P90X Chest, Shoulders, Triceps
Tony Horton, 2004 *** (3 of 5 stars)

Tony leads this 43 minute workout w/ 3 backgrounders in a gym set. You will need dumbbells and optional pushup handles, & a chair. There is a countdown timer for the workout & each exercise duration.


After a warmup & long stretch, exercises include: tons of pushup variations, side & front shoulder raise, chair dips, pike press, side tricep pushups, disc (plate or rag) shifting pushups, scarecrow wipers, overhead tri extenstion, Y press, seated tri extentions, 1 arm pushups, arm circles, weighted football throws, pushup to side plank, fly- row- press, lying cross over punches, etc. Guaranteed to burn out your muscles!


I rate this advanced because of the amount of pushups. Kind of redundant and just too many pushups for me to actually enjoy this workout. If you arent a fan of pushups this is not the workout for you, alternately if you love pushups- youll love this workout. Tony is chatty but not annoying to me- I like him, he keeps it fun and keeps the workout moving along.
