9 Jan 09 Day 5

Today I did the legs and back routine in the P90X program, and I believe that the leg portion is incredibly challenging. I love that Tony focuses on the calves so much in the routine. The calves are my favorite muscle to admire on the human anatomy, and is by far the most difficult muscle to develop, so my appreciation for the emphasis on this body part is huge. Nevertheless, my calves are so incredibly sore; it hurts to take the first few steps after reclining for a period of time.
I also did the abs program for the 3rd time this week, and I am able to get more repetitions in, but my abs too are extremely sore. Now, I am not complaining, I cherish being sore. It is a sign of a very challenging workout, and as my favorite drill sergeant always said, pain is nothing more than weakness escaping the body.
Tomorrow is my favorite portion of the program, Kempo. I get to beat up the double end bag and the heavy bag for 50 minutes. What a blast that is.
Keep on keeping on.
