P90X Week 13
Jen doing her P90X Pull Ups!
I am officially at the last week of my second round of the P90X workout! My wife Jen is also back from her mission trip to Buckingham, Virginia! :-) She went there with a pretty big group from her church to help do home repairs for people in need in the community. Check out the picture of her showing off her pull ups to everyone on a tree limb!
She is home for about a week and then she is leaving again to go to Jamaica for a week on another mission trip! This trip she is going with a smaller group from her church. She loves helping out others, and I’m extremely proud of her for what she’s been doing.
So back to P90X! Last week should have been an awesome week of workouts since it was the last week of the main workouts, but honestly I don’t feel I did my best during some of the workouts. As you may have read during my P90X Week 12 update post I started the week off not having much motivation to workout. I still did the workout and pushed through it, but it was a constant mental battle. Then on Thursday (Legs & Back day), it wasn’t that I didn’t want to workout, it just wasn’t on the top of my priority list. When I finally started doing the workout, I honestly probably only gave 50% effort. I did just enough to get by so I could get the workout done and continue with the things I needed to get done.
P90X Day 89 Completed: P90X Core Synergistics
P90X Core Synergistics
Today is day 89 of my P90X workout (that’s right…DAY 89!) and I just finished an awesome session of Core Synergistics! I was full of energy today and ready to bring everything I had to the workout! I did exactly that and I got a great workout with P90X!
P90X Day 86 Completed: P90X Core Synergistics
P90X Leaning Crescent Lunges
Today is day 86 of my P90X workout and I just finished an intense, but great session of Core Synergistics! I always seem to forget how intense this workout really is! It’s a great total body workout that incorporates cardio, stretching, and resistance training all in one workout. I was sweating like crazy throughout the workout as well as struggling to catch my breath in between some of the exercises.
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 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!
