P90X Day 26 Completed: P90X Core Synergistics
P90X Core Synergistics
WOW! P90X Core Synergistics beat the crap out of me!!! Now that I know what to expect, I was really able to “bring it” to this P90X workout today. I maxed out on all of the push ups, and I pushed as I hard as I could on the other exercises. Also, instead of using the 6 pound dumbbells like on P90X day 23, I used the 10 pound dumbbells for all of the exercises that required them.
P90X Day 25 Completed: X Stretch
P90X X Stretch Cat Stretch
I just finished day 25 of my P90X workout. Today was X Stretch, so it was a very easy day! I really tried to focus on getting a good stretch with each of the moves. They were all pretty straightforward and felt good, but the wrist stretches were somewhat painful like usual.
All of this stretching with P90X has definitely helped my flexibility. Today during the Seated Single-Leg Hamstring stretch, I was able to touch the toes of my right foot (my hands were pulling them forward as far as they would go so I could touch them). That’s something that I have never been able to do! I wasn’t able to touch the toes of my left foot, but I’m sure that will come with time. This really is the most I have ever stretched, and it’s paying off! My wife was even surprised how well I was doing the Side Twist.
P90X Day 24 Completed: P90X Kenpo X
P90X Kenpo X Jab
P90X day 24 is complete! Today was Kenpo X, and I had a lot of fun doing this P90X workout like usual! During the “breaks” I did the jumping jacks much faster than Tony Horton to get my heart rate up even more just like on P90X day 20. I feel like I got a great workout, but I definitely think I need to increase the intensity with this workout. I’m really anxious to buy the weighted gloves, because they would really take this workout up a notch.
P90X Day 23 Completed: P90X Core Synergistics
P90X Core Synergistics
I thought this week was supposed to be a recovery week?!? :-) I just completed day 23 of my P90X workout and today was Core Synergistics. This workout is a total body workout that consists of 22 moves that incorporate cardio, stretching, and resistance to strengthen the core muscles. For this workout you’ll need your yoga mat, dumbbells or resistance bands, and you’ll need to make some room in your living room (you’ll be rolling around the floor during this P90X workout).
P90X Day 22 Completed: P90X Yoga X
P90X Upward Dog
I just completed day 22 of the P90X workout! Today I had to do Yoga X because it’s the first day of the Recovery week. It felt really strange doing Yoga X on a Sunday since I’m so used to doing Chest and Back, and Ab Ripper X. I felt like I should have been doing pull ups and push ups versus getting into Warrior One and Warrior Two poses. It was a calming workout though and I got through the entire P90X DVD.
P90X Day 21 Completed: P90X Rest or X Stretch
P90X X Stretch
Week 3 of my P90X workout is officially done! Today was either a rest day or X Stretch. I choose to do X Stretch since I’m extremely inflexible and I think doing this P90X DVD will really help my flexibility. All of the stretches felt great (with the exception of the wrist stretches), and I really enjoyed the leg stretches since that is where I’m still sore. For me, the wrist stretches have always been somewhat painful for me. They are just really uncomfortable for me.
