Glamor Muscle Thursday

Today's workout was P90X Arms and Shoulders. AKA the "glamor muscles". This one hour Tony Horton workout cycles through 5 sets of exercises. Each set contains an exercise that targets the biceps, triceps, and shoulders. Each exercise in the set is completed two times. This means that two sets of 15 different exercises will be completed during this workout. For the majority of the exercises, it is recommended that 8-12 reps be completed. I found this workout to be somewhat challenging but the intensity of this program is really determined by the amount of weight that you select for each exercise. Overall, I find this workout is worth doing and I would suggest it to anyone specifically looking to target their biceps, triceps, and shoulders. 

Here is a list of the exercises in this workout:

Alternating Shoulder Press

In & Out Bicep Curls

Two-arm Tricep Kickbacks

Deep Swimmer’s Press

Full Supination Concentration Curls

Chair Dips

Upright Row

Static Arm Curls

Flip-Grip Twist Tricep Kickbacks

Two-angle Shoulder Flyes

Crouching Cohen Curls

Lying-down Tricep Extensions

In & Out Straight-arm Shoulder Flyes

Congdon Curls

Side Tri-Rises

I also completed the P90X Ab Ripper X workout. This 20 minute, ab targeted, workout I found to be very challenging and was unable to keep up or complete some of the exercises. My abs are definitely sore after finishing this workout. Hopefully this means that it works. I believe, through repetition, I will be able to complete all the exercises in this workout in the future. 

Here is a list of the exercises in this workout:

In & Out

Seated Bicycle

Seated Crunchy Frog

Wide Leg Sit-ups

Fifer Scissor

Hip Rock n' Raise

Pulse Up

Roll-up/V-up Combo

Oblique V-up

Leg Climb

Mason Twist
