P90X Day 33 Completed: P90X Legs and Back, Ab Ripper X
P90X Legs and Back Wall Squat
Day 33 of my P90X workout is over! Today I had to do Legs and Back and Ab Ripper X. I think P90X Legs and Back went pretty good today. For all of the leg exercises that Tony recommends using dumbbells, I used dumbbells. I used pretty light weight (only 15 pounds), but that seemed to do the trick because my legs started burning very fast (my legs were burning going up and down the stairs to get to my P90X chin up bar). I think next week I’ll try to up my weight to 20 or 25 pounds to ensure I get that burn again. The wall squats were painful like usual, but I got through them. Also, I wasn’t able to get through all of the reps during the 80/20 Cyber-Speed Squat again, but I pushed for as long as I could.
P90X Day 32 Completed: P90X Yoga X
P90X Downward Dog
I just completed day 32 of my P90X workout, Yoga X. Today was one of those days where I was extremely anxious to get through Yoga X. I kept thinking about all of the things I needed to do after the workout (even though Tony Horton specifically says not to do this). I also kept starring at the timer hoping it would go down faster. Sometimes it’s easier said then done to push everything aside and to focus solely on the workout. I did my usual routine of shutting the door to my home office, as well as turn off my cell phone, but that didn’t help today. I guess there will always be days like this at times, especially when there are a million things that need to get done!
P90X Day 31 Completed: Back & Biceps, Ab Ripper X
P90X Back and Biceps
Hooollly CRAP! P90X Back & Biceps was insane (in a good way)! I just finished Back & Biceps, and Ab Ripper X, and I’m exhausted!!! As I was doing Ab Ripper X (after Back & Biceps) my arms were shaking when I had to hold my arms up or put them behind my head to do the exercises (hopefully I didn’t over do it). The Back & Biceps P90X workout consists of 24 different moves (different variations of pull ups and bicep curls). It is similar to the Chest, Shoulders & Triceps workout on P90X day 29 in that you are only doing each exercise for 1 set, and then moving on to a different exercise. For this workout you’ll need your dumbbells or resistance bands, pull up bar, chair, towel, and water.
P90X Day 30 Completed: P90X Plyometrics
P90X Plyometrics Mary Katherine Lunge
OUCH! P90X Plyometrics kicked my butt yet again! I just finished Plyometrics, and I’m still sweating from the workout. This is just another P90X workout that never seem to get easier for me! My wife did Plyometrics with me, and it seemed like she was doing better than me today. I guess it’s because she usually does some type of cardio workout daily. Towards the end of the workout though, she was struggling just like me.
P90X Day 29 Completed: Chest, Shoulders & Triceps, Ab Ripper X
P90X Chest, Shoulders & Triceps
I just completed day 29 of the P90X workout! Today was a new P90X workout, Chest, Shoulders & Triceps. I also had to do Ab Ripper X. During the Chest, Shoulders & Triceps workout you’ll be doing 24 moves. It isn’t like the Chest & Back workout where you are doing 2 sets of each exercise; you are actually doing 24 different moves. This makes the workout exciting since you’re not repeating any of the moves. For the majority of these exercises, you’ll mainly be doing different types of push ups, dips, flys, and tricep kickbacks. You’ll need your weights or resistance bands, push up bars, a plastic plate, a chair, and water.
P90X Results: Day 1 & Day 28 P90X Progress Pictures
Below you can see my P90X Results so far! I put together my pictures from day 1 & day 28 of the P90X workout. I’m pretty happy with the results so far because it looks like I’ve toned up some. When I flex my abs now, you can definitely see some definition. I’m hoping by the end of P90X that they will really pop out! Also, in the pictures when I’m flexing my back muscles, you can actually see the muscles now (on day 1 when I’m flexing, it doesn’t look like I’m flexing at all).
