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...

My P90X Experience: Day 3

So today was my first experience with the Shoulders and Arms workout from P90X. I think I got more out of the workout than my first time with the Chest and Back routine. The weights I used were pretty small. 5 pounds on the really tough ones (Tony is nice enough to warn you when you might want to scale back) and 10 pounds on the rest. Hopefully I won’t need to use the 5 pound...

My P90X Experience: Day 2

So, today was my first experience with Plyometrics X. Wowza. In case you didn’t know, Plyometrics is jumping. Lots of jumping and squatting. I managed to work up quite a sweat today unlike yesterday. I made it through the entire workout and even did the “bonus round” but it was definitely a struggle. From what I can remember, this workout has three rounds, with each...

My P90X Experience: Day 1

Well, today I officially started P90X. I say “officially” because I’ve done a handful of the DVDs here and there in the past without officially starting the 90 day program. My husband purchased P90X last year and has completed it twice. So, of course I was curious to try out this beast. The DVDs I’ve gone through up to this point were Ab Ripper X and Cardio X....
