Ab Ripper ... updated and revised
Day 4: Today was the first day to try out the enhanced Ab Ripper. I remember when I first tried Ab Ripper (so appropriately named) in the original P90X. It was core-azy. Now it goes even further.

This site is going to serve as my online journal to chart my progress and keep you informed about my journey through P90X2. If you’d like to read about my results and...
