Day 7: P90X SHOULDERS + ARMS

I had a great rest day yesterday but now the weekday is back and so are the workouts. P90X's shoulders and arms workout is 1 hour and 20 mins long but you hardly notice the length because it's a fun and simple workout...I didn't sweat much during this but my arms felt the burrrrn!
  • Warm-up: high knees, jogging, wide knees, butt kicks, jumping jacks, running lunges
  • Stretch
Set 1:
  • Alternating shoulder press
  • In + out bicep curls
  • Two arm tricep kickbacks - killer!
  • Ballistic stretch
16-25 reps per arm (or as much as you can)
    Set 2:
    • Deep swimmer's press
    • Full supination concentration curls 
    • Chair dips 
    • Ballistic stretch
    Set 3:

    • Remove the skin and large chunks of fat from a whole chicken (to reduce fat content) then season with jerk spices and roast.
