P90X Day 36, 37, 38 – Chest & Shoulders, Plyometrics, Back & Biceps
Still chugging along. Day 36 – Chest, Shoulders, Triceps, Ab Ripper X Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps makes me feel like a wuss probably moreso than any other workout in P90X. I’m pretty good at pushups, just not when I have to do about 10 sets of them in about 40 minutes. By the last variation, [...]

P90X Day 33, 34, 35 – Legs & Back + Ab Ripper X, Kenpo X, X Stretch
Way too lazy updating. Anyways, quick recap: Day 33 – Legs & Back This workout killed me before the rest week, and killed me even more on Wednesday after not doing it for 2 weeks. I had to wait a few hours to do Ab Ripper X because I was so spent. Day 34 – Kenpo X [...]

P90X Day 30, 31, 32 – Plyometrics, Back & Biceps, Yoga X
OK, I’m getting kind of lazy with these updates. I’m working from home this week, so my morning routine is out of whack. Day 30 – Plyometrics Whoa. One week without Plyo was enough to make me forget how brutal it is. Fortunately, my cardio didn’t seem to take a dip and I was able [...]

P90X Day 29 – Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps
Phase 2 adds two new workouts to the mix: “Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps” and “Back and Biceps”. This Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps workout was killer! It’s another one of those where there are about 24 exercises, and just one break in the entire thing. Around halfway through the workout, Tony Horton announces that it’s time [...]

P90X Day 28 – X Stretch
Phase 1 complete! For four full weeks now, I haven’t gone a single day without completing some kind of P90X workout and I haven’t eaten a single meal that wasn’t healthy. Pretty sweet. X Stretch was what it was as usual: a lot of stretching. My flexibility is still increasing, though not as much as [...]

P90X Day 27 – Yoga X
One month ago, if you would have asked me what workout I was going to hate the most in the P90X program, it would have been Yoga X for sure. Fast forward to today, and Yoga X is somehow becoming one of my favorite workouts, and certainly the one that I’m improving the most at [...]

P90X Day 26 – Core Synergistics
Core Synergistics, take two. This time I knew what to expect coming in, so I was able to actually concentrate on engaging the core (or trying to) and maintaining good form. I wouldn’t say it was any easier today, but I definitely did a lot better with the moves. I’m kind of sad that I [...]

P90X Day 25 – X Stretch
I was really sore when I woke up this morning, probably as sore as I’ve been at any time since week 1. I’m assuming it’s from doing Core Synergistics for the first time a couple days ago, which introduced a bajillion new movements that I’ve never done in my life. X Stretch was just what [...]

Got a bit lazy over the weekend with updates (but definitely not with working out), so here’s a 3-parter: Day 22 – Yoga X Easily my best day of Yoga X yet. I managed to complete every vinyasa, all the warrior poses, every optional pushup, and managed to do pretty well with the warrior three [...]

P90X Day 21 – X Stretch
Day 21 is complete, and so ends week number 3 of P90X. Once again, I did the optional X Stretch workout this week. That means I have not gone a single day in the past 3 weeks without doing a P90X workout. I also haven’t had a single unhealthy or processed meal, and I’ve gotten [...]
