P90X Day 19 & 20 – Legs & Back + Ab Ripper X, Kenpo X
Sweet, I’m in the 20′s now, and basically finished with week 3. Only tomorrow’s optional X Stretch remains, and then it’s time for the rest week! Or should I say, “rest week”. After looking into the Core Synergistics workout a bit, I’m pretty sure that it’s going to kick my butt. Legs & Back really [...]

P90X Day 18 – Yoga X
18 days through, and that means that I have officially completed 20% of P90X! I’m getting better at Yoga X everytime I do it, though there’s a certain part that I always struggle with the most. At the end of the first part of the workout with all the downward dogs and whatnot, there’s a [...]

P90X Day 17 – Shoulders & Arms, Ab Ripper X
Day 17 complete, minus Ab Ripper X. I guess it’s more like day 16.5 complete. Still chugging along and every bit as motivated as I was on day 1. P90X really is seriously an awesome deal. You can go to your nearest Wal-Mart or whatever and drop 140 bones on a box of P90X, unwrap [...]

P90X Days 15 & 16 – Chest & Back + Ab Ripper X, Plyometrics
Nothing too exciting about yesterday’s Chest & Back workout. I’m getting better at all the exercises, though I really need to start pacing myself on the first sets because my muscles are completely gassed the second time around on some of the exercises. I’m getting better and better at Ab Ripper X, and for the [...]

P90X Day 14 – X Stretch
Two weeks down, ten weeks plus six days to go. I went ahead and did the optional X Stretch routine this morning because I’m an animal like that. X Stretch seems like it’s going to feel better every time I do it. Last week, a lot of the stretches were awkward or painful. This week, [...]

P90X Day 13 – Kenpo X
A baker’s dozen finished, minus the donuts of course. I dominated this morning’s Kenpo X workout. After last week’s lazy effort I made sure to push this time, even when Tony Horton and the other guys seemed to be taking it kind of easy. My heartrate is usually in the 160s and 170s during this [...]

P90X Day 12 – Legs & Back, Ab Ripper X
A dozen days down. Well, almost. This morning’s legs & back workout felt a lot more intense than last week, probably because I upped the weight in every exercise and performed more reps on all the pull-ups. I even started to feel a little sick towards the end, which definitely wasn’t the case last week. [...]

P90X Day 11 – Yoga X
Another day, another workout in the books. This time I decided to do Yoga X in the morning before work, instead of at night. Nights are for playing (and for doing Ab Ripper X, of course). Since it’s 90+ minutes, I woke up a half hour earlier than normal, at 4:30! Yikes. That’s the bad [...]

P90X Days 9 & 10 – Plyometrics, Shoulders & Arms + Ab Ripper X
Finally, double digits in the day count! I’ve missed a total of zero workouts, even doing the optional X Stretch on my first rest day. Just have to keep hitting play every day. What a world of difference a week makes. Yesterday’s Plyometrics were still really tough, but I was able to push through it [...]
