Bring It!

Round 1, Day 1: Intense feelings of trepidation, worse than the first day of school. There is nothing like the personal humiliation of confronting one's physical limitations and P90X allows plenty of opportunity for that. Such as your arms collapsing during pushups and landing with a pronounced "OOMPH" on your chest. And not being able to lift your arms up to wash your face following the workout. And the soreness in your arms, chest and back for two days following the exercises.

Of course, all of this is good. It meant that there was work to be done. If you start at the bottom, there's only one way to go. I wasn't going to get any worse, only better.
