The Average Joe Fitness

I have a love/hate rela­tion­ship with the Legs & Back work­out rou­tine. I loathe leg exer­cises; always have and most likely always will. I hate this rou­tine when I put the disc in. There is that nudg­ing in the back of my mind say­ing that it’s ok if i skip it this week.

I hate this work­out dur­ing the rou­tine. Right off the bat, the bal­ance lunges are a killer for me. That nudg­ing comes back say­ing that it’s ok to stop early. I still hate this work­out after it fin­shes with the sore legs that I have as a result.

How­ever, about a half hour to an hour after the work­out the sore­ness starts to wear off and I start to feel great. I get that burst of energy I get with the other P90X exer­cises (the dif­fer­ence being I get burst about a half hour into the rou­tine) and I love this rou­tine. I’m happy that I put in the effort and that I didn’t give into that nudg­ing to skip a work­out rou­tine that i don’t really like.

Now, I bet my legs are going to be sore tomor­row (and I have a 9:00 am tee time) but I will love this rou­tine until next week when it is time to do it all over again.

This is a great work­out. For those that have dif­fi­culty with leg exer­cises, or hate them like me, this will feel a bit tougher. Also let me say that P90X over all is a dif­fi­cult work­out reg­i­men, so when I say one them is tough, that is in com­par­i­son to the other P90X routines.
