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 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 22 Completed: P90X Yoga X
P90X Upward Dog
I just completed day 22 of the P90X workout! Today I had to do Yoga X because it’s the first day of the Recovery week. It felt really strange doing Yoga X on a Sunday since I’m so used to doing Chest and Back, and Ab Ripper X. I felt like I should have been doing pull ups and push ups versus getting into Warrior One and Warrior Two poses. It was a calming workout though and I got through the entire P90X DVD.
P90X Day 21 Completed: P90X Rest or X Stretch
P90X X Stretch
Week 3 of my P90X workout is officially done! Today was either a rest day or X Stretch. I choose to do X Stretch since I’m extremely inflexible and I think doing this P90X DVD will really help my flexibility. All of the stretches felt great (with the exception of the wrist stretches), and I really enjoyed the leg stretches since that is where I’m still sore. For me, the wrist stretches have always been somewhat painful for me. They are just really uncomfortable for me.
P90X Day 18 Completed: P90X Yoga X
P90X Yoga X Warrior One
Namaste! I just completed P90X Yoga X. Today is day 18 of my P90X workout, which means only 3 more days to the recovery week! These days keep flying by and before you know it I’ll be heading into Phase 2, and then Phase 3!
I think I’m steadily getting better at P90X Yoga X. I feel like I’m able to maintain my balance better on the more difficult poses. I still stumble and fall sometimes during the poses, but I’m slowly improving. The Half Moon and the Standing Splits are 2 poses that I always have trouble with. I normally tumble when I try to do the Half Moon. Also, I can’t lift my leg up all that high and I have trouble holding it up when doing the Standing Splits. Oh yea, and I tried the Crane again today, but failed. I’ll get it one day!
P90X Day 11 Completed: P90X Yoga X
P90X Yoga X Crane
Ahhhhhhh! I just completed an intense, but very relaxing day 11 of my P90X workout. Today was Yoga X. It was definitely tough for me doing some of poses, but I feel like I did a lot better then P90X day 4. I even enjoyed Yoga X today!
I pretty much have the moving asanas down (at least I think I do) but I did struggle with the Half Moon, Twisting Half Moon, Triangle Pose, Twisting Triangle, and the Standing Splits (there may be more, that’s all I can remember). I get off balance very easily and I’m also not very flexible, so I think those will just take time for me to get better at. Oh, and of course I can’t even get close to doing the Crane. I think it would be so cool if by the end of P90X I could do the Crane! It would be a HUGE testament to the P90X program if I could accomplish that!
