P90X Day 27 Completed: P90X Yoga X
P90X Yoga X Half Moon
Day 27 of P90X is done! I just completed my P90X workout for the day, Yoga X. It was an intense P90X workout, but it was very relaxing like usual. I focused on getting a good stretch with each pose and I also worked on inhaling and exhaling correctly during the poses. My right quadricep was sore from Core Synergistics yesterday, so the Crescent pose and several of the other poses were somewhat painful. I always have a hard time doing the Half Moon, but today I was able to hold that pose for a short period on each side. Also, I was able to hold the Crane for a few very short seconds! :-) Maybe it was milliseconds…who knows! Overall, I think it was a good session of P90X Yoga X!
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 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).
