P90X Day 90 – Yoga X
“Take in the fact that you just did that. That is sweet.” I know I used this one  just 5 days ago, but it seems much more appropriate now. All done! That was a fun ride, with a lot of struggle along the way, some minor injuries that I worked through, a lot of egg [...]

P90X Day 89 – Core Synergistics
“I’m a fan of straight lines. You should see my closet.” So close. 90 minutes of Yoga is all that keeps me from completing this crazy program. I really suck at lunges. Everytime I do them, I feel awkward and stumble around constantly. You would think after 89 days of P90X, I would be the [...]

P90X Day 88 – X Stretch
“Like a frog on the freeway!” I stretched for 57 minutes. P90X rocks, do it. It did seem kind of strange effectively taking a rest day when there are only two days left. I kind of wish P90X finished strong, with Plyometrics, Core Synergistics, and then Yoga, or something. Oh well, I’ll be doing plenty [...]

P90X Day 87 – Kenpo X
“You need to hydrate or towel off? Do it now,” as Wesley runs off to take a break while everyone else keeps working. Being that this was perhaps my last time ever doing Kenpo X, I decided to go all out, working through all of the breaks and instead hydrating in between exercises when there’s [...]

P90X Day 86 – Core Synergistics
“You know what the tip of the day is? It’s engage. What do I mean by that? I don’t mean go out and get engaged.” I like Core Synergistics. Not only is it a really tough workout, but you’re encouraged to concentrate on engaging your core with every move, and to not just go through [...]

P90X Day 85 – Yoga X
“Take in the fact that you just did that. That is sweet.” Well, today was a big improvement over last week. I went back to using a trick I forgot about, which is concentrating on a single point on the wall or some kind of object during balance postures/poses. The TV can mess you up [...]

P90X Day 84 – Rest
I decided to take the extra hour of sleep this morning, rather than do X Stretch. Somehow I have a guilty conscience about it, even though X Stretch isn’t a workout at all. I think that mindset is a key to sticking with a workout regimen long-term. The thought of how guilty I’ll feel if [...]

P90X Day 83 – Kenpo X
“Smack me! Smack me!” Last night, I completed all 349 reps of Ab Ripper X for the first time, and it just happened to be the last time doing that workout for this round of P90X. I even conquered the dreaded Fifer Scissors, when previously I had never made it past the first 12 reps [...]

P90X Day 82 – Legs & Back, Ab Ripper X
“There ain’t no such thing as a sanity clause.” Ugh. I hate that line more each time. Last strength training workout! I managed to add at least 1 non-chair pull up to every set, which is encouraging considering I’ve started feeling like the biggest weakling ever when I do pull ups. I did 12 chinups on the [...]

P90X Day 81 – Yoga X
“Drop down there in Warrior 2, Mr. Haas. This is Yoga X, my brother!” Whoa. My balance was off this morning, or something. I was falling over during moves that I’ve been crushing of late, and really falling over during the ones that I normally struggle a bit with, aka the dreaded Warrior 3. It [...]
