P90X: Day 15: Chest and Back

Looking forward in the program, this is the last week of these workouts before Recovery Week. The first two weeks have served as a sort of warmup, to re-acclimatize my body to the rhythms of the program and to prevent shocking my body and possible injury by trying to do too much, too soon. This week, that changes.

Today, I tried to increase my repetitions and increase my weight. The increase in weight tired me out, so I had to pause the DVD a couple of times to recover sufficiently to carry on with the next exercise. I wasn't too happy with that approach, but I've learned that it's important to listen to your body and do what is necessary to put yourself in a position to succeed. This should be an interesting week.
