P90X Day 59 – Shoulders & Arms, Ab Ripper X

“Let the weight of your head do the work. Mine weighs about 600 lbs. Ain’t a damn thing inside here.” Whoa. Shoulders & Arms feels a lot longer than I remember. Again, similar to Chest & Back, I haven’t done this workout since week 3. One thing I forgot to mention about the Chest & [...]

P90X Day 58 – Cardio X (Oh snap!)

“Skin of a 5 year old. So lucky!” Yikes, Tony. Today I decided to get a little crazy and mix it up a bit. It’s been bothering me for a long time that if I followed the Classic routine to a tee, I wouldn’t get a chance to do Cardio X, so I decided to [...]

P90X Day 57 – Chest & Back

“German potato soup.” Oh man, have I missed the Chest & Back workout. Today was my first time doing it since week 3. It’s just one of those workouts where it feels like you move at an adequate pace, the right number of exercises, and adequate time to recover and get ready for the next [...]

P90X Day 55 – Yoga X

“Don’t bite your toes. I recommend foot spray.” Good old Yoga X. It gets easier and more enjoyable each and every time. I’ve been working to get down lower in the lunging poses, which requires me to hike my front foot out a little further. I don’t seem to really be advancing in Crane lately. [...]

P90X Day 54 – Core Synergistics

“What are you doing over there, locker boy?” Well, I ended up getting about 10 hours of sleep last night. Unfortunately, it was supposed to be 8 hours of sleep. My iPhone’s battery yet again died in the middle of the night while I was sleeping. This time I’m pretty sure that it was at [...]

P90X Day 53 – X Stretch

“Look at Shauna. She makes Gumby look like the Tin Man.” I’m really running on fumes this morning. I stayed up until 12:30 watching the Chiefs beat the Chargers (yeah!) and then proceeded to roll out of bed at 5 AM to do X Stretch. I think it would have been a lot harder had [...]

P90X Day 52 – Kenpo X

“You can get better, or you can get all gooey, and crotchety, old, pathetic, icky, gross. Not me. Not into it.” The rest weeks are pretty easy actually. Now that Yoga X isn’t bad at all, Core Synergistics is the only tough part for me, and although it’s done twice during the week, the absence [...]

P90X Day 51 – Core Synergistics

“This is Pam. I like to call her…… *Tiger Woods fist pump* ….. Blam.” Mission accomplished last night. I ended up having about two beers, while still having a great time with friends and having no problems giving it my all in this morning’s Core Synergistics workout. I ended up going over my 2600 calories [...]

P90X Day 50 – Yoga X

Day 50! Just 40 more days to go. Now that I’m in the second recovery week, I’m already dreading how sore I’m going to get next week when I get back to the weights. That’s definitely what stood out to me the most after the first recovery week. At least now I know what to [...]
