Day One Tapout XT


Cross Core Combat the first workout you experience during the 90 day challenge that is Tapout XT.  Be ready for push-ups, but not your everyday push-up these push-ups are explosive! From the get go this workout is jammed packed with moves that will challenge you, but not discourage you. The warm up is your average warm-up encompassing jumping jacks, high knees, and butt kicks. From there you move into your push-ups, planks, superman's, some band work, with some punches and kicks thrown in there for good measure. The workout is intense and most people will need to modify the moves to meet their fitness level. I didn't have a problem completing the workout nor did I feel super drained afterwards. I actually felt energized and ready for tomorrow. I did opt to modify the push-ups, dropping to my knees so that I could complete the reps demanded but I don't feel like this took away from the intensity workout at all.
Today was also the first day of following the 10 day slim down nutrition guide. I have to say I made the mandarin chicken salad and it was really filling and satisfying. For breakfast I had 2 hard bowl eggs followed up with some grapes as a snack today. I drank plenty of water and surprisingly didn't feel hungry at all today. Day one down! Bring on day 2!

  1. Day one was tough. I nearly passed out. Didn't even make it through the whole thing. You're obviously in much better shape than I am. :D
