Week 2 presents a challenge because Mel and I are absolutely sore from week 1. Tony, the trainer, asks you to step it up a notch for week 2. Chest was all different variations of push ups - regular, wide, military, diamond, decline; pull ups and chin ups - regular, reverse, wide; back exercises involving weights - heavy pants, lawnmower, etc. If there is one accomplishment of tonight is that after 4 attempts at Ab Ripper X, we were finally able to complete about 80% of the routine. So, other than the ab exercises, you are suppose to do each set to "failure", meaning that your body just can't take anymore and your mind says that you have at least two more reps in you.
A picture of the decline push up involving putting your legs on a chair - do it as many times as you can in one minute. Trainer was doing about 30, I was lucky to reach 15 without faceplanting on the floor.
