Power 90, Day 2

Did Sweat 1-2 & Ab Ripper 100. It's cool that even though Ab Ripper is a separate workout, it's built into the Sweat workout as well so that it launches right after your cool-down & stretch.

I learned that I was wrong yesterday: there IS something worse than push-ups, and they are called crunches. Ab Ripper is brutal. Tony downplays it at first by saying "Yeah, it's 100, but it's only 10 reps of 10 moves. You can do that, can't ya?" He's gets you all confident that you can do it...and then comes the pain! I made it up to position 6 before I started crying out because the obliques on my right side hurt so much that I was having problems breathing for a few minutes.

On a side note, Power Yoga was intense, but it was in no way harder than Ab Ripper. I mention this because on the TBB message boards, Power Yoga and Yoga X are considered to be the hardest workouts in the P90(X)(+) series. Don't get me wrong, it was downright difficult (and that move that requires you to lift your leg in the air and damn near stand on your head made me REALLY worried that I was going to hurt myself), but I was able to still breathe and, well, not cry like a little bitch. I have to say, it's a good thing I have to work at 9:00 tonight, and not this morning because I don't think I would've made it in.
