P90X Ab Ripper X- What to Expect!
P90X Ab Ripper X is an awesome ab and core work out that you will be doing 3 times a week after your normal work out for that day. For example, if you just finished P90X chest and back which is almost an hour long you will be doing the Ab Ripper right after. So on these 3 days be sure to set aside about 1 hour and 15 minutes to complete your work out.
Is Ab Ripper hard? Well, if you are new to Ab work, then yes it will be difficult for you at first. Do what you can and if you can’t do all the reps they do it is OK. You will be able to do it all at the end of your 90 days. One thing I noticed right away after the second time doing Ab Ripper was that my hip flexors were really sore. I figured my abs might be sore but when my hip flexors ended up being the most sore from this I was surprised. I guess it it one of those muscle groups that I really never focused on. I figured since I run, that area would not be sore. Well. I guess I was wrong. So if you are wondering if that is normal, then I would have to say yes. Some people have asked me if they can skip the Ab Ripper. My answer to this is to follow the 90 day work out exactly as it is laid out. It is crucial that you work your core. This is your power source where you transmit force between your upper and lower body.
