I'm trying to exist in a post "Ab Ripper" existance.

And it is starting to feel impossible. I made the mistake of doing Ab Ripper two days in a row. If I don't stretch every ten minutes or so I can't even walk.

Any other TBers doing P90? Have you done anything as unimaginably stupid as trying Ab Ripper 2 days in a row?

Yeah, I did P90. Never tried to do Ab Ripper 2 days in a row; doesn't Tony say not to at the beginning of the video?

Did anyone else read the thread title as "A-flat" ripper rather than "ab" ripper?

Guilty. Must be a hell of a musical exercise to render you unfit for walking. Oh, wipes you out and you can't play walking bass.
I get it now!

I've used P90X workouts but never followed the whole scheme or plan.

Having said that, I would never do that workout or any ab workout two days in a row. Abs aren't as big and strong as say your bicep and they're also very important to other body functions.

Hernia's also come to mind.... Not much fun at all.

i do a routine more equal to P9.0, but i do feel the difference! the only thing with us older dudes,...

the day after working out i am useless. though, 3 days later i feel like SPARTA!!!

In the middle of P90X ATM. I would never try Ab Ripper 2 days in a row, I still can't even make it through all "349 moves."

I do know the feeling though, I did Plyometrics on Saturday and my legs are still killing me.
