P90X Day 56 Completed: Rest or X Stretch
Today is day 56 of my P90X workout, and it was X Stretch or a Rest Day. Since I’m still feeling pretty crappy, I decided I would just use today as a rest day so hopefully I’ll be energized and ready to start Phase 3 tomorrow!
P90X Day 55 Completed: P90X Yoga X
P90X Yoga X Wheel
I just finished my P90X workout for the day, Yoga X. Today I actually felt worse than yesterday (sore throat, headache, stuffy nose, etc.), but I still managed to get Yoga X knocked out. I ended up doing Yoga X in the evening so I could do it with my wife. I figured she would keep me going if I tried to wimp out from feeling bad.
P90X Day 54 Completed: P90X Core Synergistics
P90X Leaning Crescent Lunges
Today is day 54 of my P90X workout, and I just completed Core Synergistics. The workout actually didn’t go as well as I had hoped! I had planned on increasing my weight to 15 pounds for all of the exercises, but I didn’t even get past the Leaning Crescent Lunges doing that. Tony Horton recommends using light weight during that exercise anyways (no more than 10 pounds), so I guess I should have listened to him! I did maybe five or so lunges with the 15 pound dumbbells, and I had to pause the P90X DVD and reduce the weight. I then just started the exercise over from the beginning with the 10 pound dumbbells. After that exercise, I decided to continue using the 10 pounds dumbbells for the remaining exercises that used weight.
P90X Day 53 Completed: X Stretch
P90X X Stretch Back Up The Car
For some reason I had in my head that today was Core Synergistics! I had the Core Synergistics workout in my DVD player with the TV on, my dumbbells setup, and everything else ready to go! I then just so happened to look at my P90X workout calendar before I was about to start and I saw that today was X Stretch! I was actually a little disappointed because I was in the mindset that today was Core and I was ready to bring it! O well, I’ll just have to wait for tomorrow to do Core Synergistics!
P90X Day 52 Completed: P90X Kenpo X
NordicTrack Wrist Weights (from Sears)
Today is day 52 of my P90X workout and I just finished Kenpo X. I finally found some weighted gloves that I thought were going to be good for Kenpo X, but it didn’t turn out so well. I ended up going to Dick’s Sporting Goods last night and I found a good pair, but each wrist weight was only 1.5 pounds. I wanted to see if could find a heavier pair, so I then went to Sears and I found a pair that were 3 pounds each. I figured those would be much more effective than the 1.5 pound weights so I bought them (they are the NordicTrack 3 lb. Thumblock Wrist Weights).
P90X Day 51 Completed: P90X Core Synergistics
P90X Core Synergistics
Today is day 51 of my P90X workout, and I just completed Core Synergistics. I almost forgot how intense Core Synergistics was!! I was sweating like crazy throughout the workout, and I was struggling to catch my breath between some of the exercises!! Overall, I think I did pretty good with this workout!
