P90X Day 69 – Kenpo X
“So you’ve got this guy. Oh, he’s done! Now he’s toast!” Knee! Back kick! Meh. I’m looking forward to not doing Kenpo X anymore after I finish this round of P90X and instead replacing it with some hardcore cardio from Insanity. My favorite part of the workout is when the series of blocking exercises is [...]

P90X Day 68 – Legs & Back, Ab Ripper X
“I think I ripped my pants! Nope, I’m alright.” I didn’t hate Legs & Back as much as usual today, despite not wanting to work out at all this morning. I concentrated on improving my form on the leg exercises instead of increasing weight, so I stuck with all the same weights that I used [...]

P90X Day 67 – Yoga X
“Last 20. What do you got?! Get it up! Get it up higher! I know, I’m screaming too much for yoga.” I was crushing Yoga this morning, powering through the vinyasas aggressively, and then came the Warrior 3 poses. I sucked at those today, wobbling all over the place and having to come out of [...]

P90X Day 66 – Back & Biceps, Ab Ripper X
“Kind of like a pterodactyl backing out of trouble!” I dominated Back & Biceps this morning, managing to increase weight in almost every exercise and squeezing out an extra rep or two on all the pull-up variations. Also the Chiefs are 3-0 heading into their bye week! What a great way to start the week. 24 days [...]

P90X Day 65 – Plyometrics
“Three pointer, halfway!” I’m guessing Tony isn’t much of a sports fan. Good old Plyo X. This was definitely my best Plyo workout so far. I was able to go 100% pretty much through the whole thing, crushing Jump Knee Tucks and Rockstar Hops like a beast. One crazy note: my resting heart rate is [...]

P90X Day 64 – Chest, Shoulders & Triceps, Ab Ripper X
“This is Big Dave. We call him Davey, David, anything.” Anything, eh? Slowly but surely, I’m adding reps to my pushups, even if it’s only 1 or 2 per workout. I checked out one of the Insanity workouts last night and all I have to say is: Wow. I predict vomiting in my future when [...]

P90X Day 63 – X Stretch
“You’re locked in here. Do not move. Steering wheels don’t move unless you’ve got some kind of clown car.” X Stretch hit the spot as always this morning, and concluded week 9 of P90X. 3 more weeks, then the final week, and I’ll be done! It hasn’t really set in how close I am yet. [...]

P90X Day 62 – Kenpo X
“We’ll slip right into Frog. Frag or Frog, depending on what part of the country you’re from.” My calves were pretty sore when I woke up this morning from yesterday’s Legs & Back workout, but it wasn’t a big deal. I really brought the intensity to Kenpo X today and got a decent workout. I’m [...]

P90X Day 61 – Legs & Back, Ab Ripper X
“Give me some shakin’. Give me some lovin’! Do you love it?” Ugh. I’m not a big fan of the Legs & Back workout. It’s probably my least favorite. It’s not that I don’t get a good workout from it, but some of the moves are just kind of awkward and too many reps/not enough [...]

P90X Day 60 – Yoga X
“I like to finish with oms. This is not a cult or a religion. They’re just oms.” 2/3 complete! Just 30 days left. Yoga X rules. One thing I’ve started doing recently to make it a little tougher is when you “float the heel up and swing it through”, work on getting that foot way [...]
