Day Thirty Seven

     In case you ever wondered EXACTLY what I'm doing with all my time:
                                        CHEST/SHOULDER/TRICEPS/ABS
Slo-mo-3-in-1 pushups (three hand widths, all in a slow eight count so you can face plant more than normal)
In-Out Shoulder flys (In front, out to the side. Don't drop the weight and crush your toes.)
Chair dips (I do one of the hard versions: two chairs, leg length apart, lower yourself in-between. Slipping results in bruised calves, but you won't be able to feel it at first because of the concussion you get from hitting your head on the other chair.)
Plange pushups (No sweat. Just regular pushups. Oh, except your hands are by your ribcage instead of your shoulders. Guess you will sweat.)
Pike presses (Bend over upside down, lower your head to the floor. Ideally, you should then be able to straighten your arms back up. Ideally. Misspelled, this becomes Pie Pushups where you lower your face and take a bite of pie. Unfortunately, this version is not part of P90X.)
Side-Tri-Rises (Lay on your side, hand under shoulder and raise your body, balancing on your hip. The secondary challenge is not rolling over onto your face.)
Floor Flys (I don't actually remember what this is. I must have blocked it out. Oh well, I guess that's why I always use the DVD.)
Scarecrows (Supposedly you use weights for this. I have achieved the impressive number of 2.5 pounds. Elbows at shoulder height, hands dangle, then raise vertically, preferably without moving elbows.)
Overhead tricep extensions (One of the few things I had actually heard of before beginning P90X. Lower the weight behind your head and straight up. Don't drop the weight and crush your skull.)
Two-twitch speed pushup (Has nothing to do with uncontrollable muscle spasms as a result of working them too hard, though that may happen. Four fast, four slow. Repeat til you die.)
Y-Presses (Think doing the "YMCA" song with weights in your hands. And just do the "Y" part.)
Lying tricep extensions (Not lying like big fish stories. Not lying like taking a nap either, though it may be tempting. Don't drop the weight and crush your face.)
     Now do twelve MORE exercise with long, descriptive names and large amounts of pain and danger involved. Then, just because it's so fun, spend sixteen minutes doing every possible variation of situps, leg raises, and other wonderful trunk exercises.
     Feel inspired? I love company!
