Target Heart Rate Zone – How To Get Into The Zone During P90X
If you’re doing the P90X workout, you’ve probably heard Tony Horton say during Kenpo X to “check your heart to see if your in the zone” or something similar to that. During the below video, I’m going to show you exactly how to calculate your different target heart rate zones that you are going to want to work towards hitting during your workouts. These target heart rate zones aren’t just for P90X, they are for Insanity, or any other workout you’re doing.
It’s very important that you know your zone. By knowing your target heart rate zones, you’ll know if you’re at an intensity level that will give you the best possible results. You’ll also know if you’re pushing yourself too hard. Check out the video now!Continue reading
Heidi’s P90X Journey – P90X Week 3
This is a guest post by Heidi.
I made it through P90X Plyometrics this week! Can I get a whoop whoop..? There is a move in there that gives me a whole new respect for Molly Shannon. Appropriately called the “Mary Katherines”, they are lunges where you hop back and forth between right leg in front and left leg in front. Good lord, that’s difficult. I remember when Molly Shannon did those in her MK skits on SNL, and it didn’t look hard at all. It looked funny, yes. Hard, no. Trust me, they are hard. The version of MK on P90x doesn’t include the hands in the armpits, though, so that made them a little easier.
Heidi – P90X Week 2 Completed!
This is a guest post by Heidi.
I’m glad that week 2 is over. I had trouble this week, but I still made it through. Not only did I make it through, but I’m improving, so that is encouraging. Improving slowly, but still improving.
I realized this week that I’m actually going to have to purchase some heavier dumbbells. For the record, I only had girly dumbbells, 3, 5 and 8 pounds before, so I’m not that strong yet, but it’s still progress. I found some 10 pounders at WalMart last night for a decent price, so I’m set for week 3. That sure sounds wussy when I see it in writing, but double-digit dumbbells are better than a double-digit wardrobe, so that’s my focus. Increase the number on the dumbbells and decrease the number on the tags in my clothes.
