The P90X Leg and Back workout was miserable this morning. If the 80+ pull ups weren't difficult enough, this workout has some killer leg exercises. Your leg muscles are the largest muscles in your body which means means you will experience pain and suffering on a larger scale.Most people ignore legs when they workout. This is a big mistake. We've all seen the big muscular guy who never works his legs and ends up looking like a light bulb. Your legs are half of your body and therefore require at least half of your strength training. P90X hits your legs three times each week. The plyometrics would be considered a leg workout and the Yoga X has a lot of poses that work the legs. That's one of the things that I love about P90X; the workouts are so well balanced between strength, cardio, flexibility, upper body and lower body. No areas get ignored or neglected.
In the photo I am doing wall squats. Although, this exercise looks fairly easy, don't let appearances deceive you. Wall squats are 60 seconds of pure quad and glute torture and they make you do it twice. However, this is the price you have to pay, if you want to have lean muscular legs and a nice firm booty.
Karen joined me for the workout today. She thought the workout was pretty intense and enjoyed it. However, like me, she was surprised on how quickly she recovered after the workout and questioned whether she pushed herself hard enough. Karen did push herself hard but when you're in good shape, you recover quickly. That's a good thing.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I'm going to go squeeze Karen's nice firm booty.
