P90X Full Review – From a Woman’s Perspective

So, What is P90X? P90X is an “extreme home fitness” workout program that is designed to get you in the best shape of your life. It requires a fairly high level of intensity and consists of 12 DVDs which each contain a different workout. Each workout lasts approximately 60 minutes (including the warm-up and cool-down exercises) except for the supplementary Ab Ripper X which...

My P90X Experience: Days 69-90

Well, somehow I managed to survive my first round of P90X. Over 90 days ago I was totally intimidated by this program and now I’m already an official P90X graduate. (insert applause) The last four weeks of the program really seemed to go by fast. Probably because I decided to do Doubles during the last two weeks before recovery week so I was in a real time crunch to get everything...

My P90X Experience: Days 51-68

Alright, so it’s finally starting to feel like I’m on the home stretch! After my second “recovery” week I started Phase 3 (Week 9) with a much higher level of intensity. Luckily this time around I didn’t have the same problem with Core Synergistics as during Week 4. The first day of Week 9 was Chest and Back, and with my new found pull-up strength I was...

My P90X Experience: Days 36-50

Yikes–it appears I haven’t updated my blog in quite some time . . . sorry folks! All I can say is that life has been busy and I just haven’t had time to check in here as often as I should! However, I’m still pressing play even though I think I’ve reached the doldrums of the P90X program. I’ve read that most people see the greatest results in the...

My P90X Experience: Days 31-35

It’s really late so this post is probably going to be short but I wanted to write an update before too much time slipped away. Today I completed Week 5 of my first round of P90X. I say “first round” because I’m working under the assumption that I’ll most likely be doing a second round eventually. In case you didn’t know, Round 1 is considered your...

My P90X Experience: Days 29-30

Wow, I just realized as I sat down to start writing this post that today is Day 30 of my first round of the P90X Extreme Home Fitness Program. Yikes! Yesterday was my first day of Week 5 and my first time doing the Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps workout. Since I didn’t know what to expect I used 5 pound weights for all the exercises which was a good call because they were pretty...

My P90X Experience: Days 26-28

Well, I somehow managed to make it through Phase 1 of my first round with P90X. Although, the past couple days have been pretty rough. When I woke up yesterday I was in the worst pain I’ve been in since starting P90X. When I went to bed Friday night my back felt a little sore but when it was time to get out of bed Saturday morning it had moved past sore to not being able to move....

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...
