My P90X Experience: Days 23-25

Wow. So a couple days ago I had my first encounter with Core Synergistics. I was expecting this workout to be tough. But not that tough! Let’s just say–it was the first time I ever felt sick to my stomach during a workout and wanted to cry. I think it started somewhere between the Sphinx push-ups and Bow to Boat. However, I decided to do my best and forget the rest and...

P90X Recovery Week Schedule and Workouts

During the 13 Week P90X program there are 3 recovery weeks. Now, don’t get too excited. Recovery is not the same thing as REST. Nope! Recovery week is simply about allowing your muscles to recover from the hard resistance training you did during the previous weeks. The mental break is also very beneficial! During recovery week, you really start to focus on transitioning your...

My P90X Experience: Days 16-22

Today is my first day of Week 4 doing P90X. Week 4 is considered a recovery week, but I’m not expecting it to be easy. There are two days of Yoga X and two days of Core Synergistics. I haven’t done the Core workout yet (my first time is tomorrow) but word on the streets is that it’s pretty brutal. There are two days of X Stretch and one day of Kenpo X. A lot of people...

My P90X Experience–Day 15

Wow–Chest and Back seemed really difficult today. I was able to do better than last week on the majority of the exercises and used heavier weights. But there’s something I hate about this workout. The Back Flys are really awkward for me. I don’t feel like I’m getting the form right. I also seem really uncoordinated using the resistance bands for pull-ups. I can...

My P90X Experience: Days 8-14

What a busy week! Today I completed Week 2 of the P90X program. As you can see I haven’t been able to keep up with my daily P90X posts. I did manage to survive another 7 days of hard-core P90X workouts. In some aspects this second week seemed easier than the first week because I was more prepared for things to come, but I felt a lot more sore this week. That’s a good thing!...

My P90X Experience: Days 5-7

Whew! It’s been a busy couple days so I haven’t been able to keep up with my posts. But don’t worry–I was still able to keep up with my P90X workouts. ) Friday was Legs and Back. I’m not even close to being able to do a pull-up, so I’ve been using a resistance band to do the pull-up exercises. My husband liked using the chair when he was building up...

My P90X Experience: Day 4

So, what’s the deal with P90X Yoga?? Wow! I definitely have a love/hate relationship with this workout. At first I’m was really thrown off because, well–I’m really not used to seeing Tony in bare feet and tights! But once I finally got settled in (luckily I was a little prepared because there is some yoga on the Cardio X workout DVD which I’ve done several...
