Legs and Back

Let's set one thing straight, "and Back" = pull-ups. Wide grip, narrow grip, reverse grip, switch grip, you name it. If you see "and Back" it means pull-ups. Lots of them.

Many routines in P90X have the X suffix to signify their eliteness. It's not just Yoga, it's Yoga X. It's not just Cardio, it's Cardio X. It's not just a Shower, it's Shower X (wait, that's a completely different blog).

If the routine you're doing today doesn't end in X then it's a safe bet it ends in "and Back". So if your not doing X, you're doing pull-ups.

I hate pull-ups, but I LOVE legs.

Having grown up in an urban environment I walked everywhere when I was growing up. Back in those days I'd walk a mile or two to save a dollar over taking the subway or a bus. Add to that a few years of on again off again distance running and I was granted pretty strong legs that managed to stick with me over the years.

Thus far "Legs" is the closest I've been to keeping up with the trainers on the DVD. I can't hang with them 100% but it's inarguably my best program. At one point one of the trainers let's out an audible "Oh, god" and I was still hanging in there with them. That was definitely good for the ego after the rough week I had.

Let's no talk so much about "and Back" though, okay? add to del.icio.us saved by 0 users
