TapouT XT Day Twelve - Legs & Back

Pounding through day twelve of Tapout XT, Legs & Back. Every workout in this program is challenging and the leg bands we use for Legs & Back are a pain to deal with. We had to pause a couple of times to get them properly positioned but they really do provide good resistance.  Besides dealing with the leg bands and choosing the proper resistance bands today's workout was great. We both performed much better than last week so remembering what band for each exercise will come with time. I read about a trick to use baby powder for the leg bands so maybe we'll pick some up this weekend.

It felt great to do the Legs & Back routine. I loved performing rows with my Power Blocks and I still do with the resistance bands. I may need to step it up to a stronger band next week for my shoulder work. Mandi has been under the weather this week but she was a machine today. I had to take a couple short breathers to slow my heart rate a little and she kept pounding through. I need to pick up my game and keep up.

Twelve days in and we can say this is a great program. We are already stronger and are excited to see where the program takes us. We feel that TapouT will be a staple in our exercise routine moving forward. I am a big fan of using one's body weight which is why I was drawn to this program. The striking is cool too. We are settling down and our muscle soreness is now limited to the targeted areas from the previous day. If you are considering the TapouT XT program then my advice is to stick with it. Getting past the first ten days opens up a whole new world of focus, attitude, and commitment. If you have started the program and are struggling, keep at it. It's supposed to kick your butt, as Mike says: "results are made outside the comfort zone" and "there's no quit in TapouT".
