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.
I’m excited to do Core Synergistics tomorrow! It’s a hard workout, but I really want to feel that burn and feel some soreness the next day. When I’m sore like that, I know I got a great workout. After Core Synergistics, then it’s Yoga X again on Friday, and then Rest or X Stretch on Saturday. Then the recovery week will be officially over and I’ll be moving into P90X week 5! Time is flying by!!!
For anyone who is doing P90X, keep up the hard work! It will pay off!!!
