I felt really weak during my workout today. On some of the exercises I wasn’t able to do as many reps as I did during this workout the last time I did it and I fell on my face a few times during some of the pushups. I’m sure I haven’t lost any strength so maybe my muscles are just fatigued after over 2 months of working out more than I ever have in my life.
I still pushed through the workout and made sure I felt the burn on each exercise but I was frustrated that I couldn’t do as many reps as last time. Although now that I’m writing this I’m thinking I may have had better form today than the last time I did this video since I have really been focusing on my form. So, if I was using poor form previously I may have had some cheat reps or the moves may have been a bit easier.
Have you had weeks where you felt weaker or just couldn’t do all the reps you could previously? Do you know why you had them?
70 days down, only 20 to go! I can do anything for 20 days.

I have had the same problem on a few days of the P90X program, i am on day 57. I found that eating a few more carbs cured the problem. My weight loss has not been large, I am down 12lbs, but inches, I have had to buy new pants! I started the program because I did not wont my next decade, I turn 50 in October, to be like my last, mostly fat and unfit. As I was so unfit when I started I choose to do the lean program and it has gone very well. I am to take 2 weeks off at the end before doing the classic. Good luck on your journey to a fitter and healthy lifstyle.
