Week 1 Day 1

Day one consists of chest, back, and Abs Ripper X. To start off I took my laptop to my gym. Most of you are probably asking, why go to the gym when the program is tailored for home use. Well the fact of the matter is that I already had a gym membership and I do not want it to go to waste. Anyway, my gym is Anytime Fitness and since I can go whenever I want, I usually go either really late when I can have the place all to myself. Since I am at the gym I have access to the dumbbells I will need and a pull up bar. I kept a pad and pencil as well to record my reps.

There are twelve exercises and two sets. For example, I had to start off by performing reps of regular pushups, followed by wide arm pushups, pull-ups, elevated (or incline) pushups, dumbbell rows, and then reps of diamond pushups. This is then repeated all over again. After all that you would think it was over but oh no here comes Ab Ripper X, this consists of twelve exercises that are twenty-five reps each. To start Ab Ripper X, they have you do in and outs, then forward bicycles so you are not laying on your back, this is then followed by reverses, next is a workout called seated crunch frog, then you continue with wide leg sit-ups, then fifer scissors which are like alternating leg raises, the hip rock ‘n raise, and the rollup V combo. After finishing the first session I must say it was intense.
