P90X Day 80 – Back & Biceps, Ab Ripper X
“This is my best dance move, Tony.” Happy Columbus Day. I’m off from work, so hopefully you are too. Back & Biceps was awesome, as was Ab Ripper X. I’m really running out of things to say about these workouts at this point. 10 more days!

P90X Day 79 – Plyometrics
“Don’t run off and get a pastrami sandwich or something. That’d be bad. Cheeseburger, bad. Fries, bad. Shakes, bad. Coca-Cola. Oops, I said it!” Last time doing Plyometrics for this round. I brought it like it’s never been brought before. Â The result? I’m exhausted, and ready to watch some football now. The wedding I went [...]

P90X Day 78 – Chest & Shoulders, Ab Ripper X
“Nice shirt man. You’re wearing my shirt. Guy stole my shirt.” Last time doing Chest & Shoulders for now. This is probably the workout that still makes me feel like a wuss more than any of the others. I still can’t do a single one-handed pushup while dipping down more than about 1 Â inch. Even [...]

P90X Day 77 – X Stretch
“Who was it in ‘The Exorcist’ that turned their head all the way around? Someone? Linda Blair!” Week 11 in the books. I only have 13 days left of this craziness, at least until the next round anyway. I seem to keep straining my neck with the weight workouts earlier in the week, and then [...]

P90X Day 76 – Kenpo X
“We do actual DNA removal.” Kenpo X was alright this morning. I kind of started off in a bit of a daze, just doing the moves while my mind started to drift. By the middle of the workout, I started getting into it a bit more and started paying more attention to form and intensity. [...]

P90X Day 75 – Legs & Back, Ab Ripper X
“Hug your neighbor!” I really like many of the moves in Legs & Back like the Wall Squats, Deadlift Squats, Calf Raises, Chair Salutations, and all the pull-up variations, but I completely hate a select few. In particular, Balance Lunges (which I spend more time trying to balance than concentrating on lunging), Sneaky Lunges, and [...]

P90X Day 74 – Yoga X
“There’s a whole bunch of people that say, ‘I don’t want to do no yoga. It’s silly and it’s weird, and they do these crazy oms at the end.’ Expand the mind here a little bit and try something new.” One thing that has always bothered me is that all of the workouts are just [...]

P90X Day 73 – Shoulders & Arms, Ab Ripper X
“We’re not here to fool around. This ain’t no aerobics class from the 70′s.” Man, Shoulders & Arms is a tough workout, especially now that I’ve gone up in weight so much in all of the exercises at this point. I hate it…. but I love it.

P90X Day 72 – Plyometrics
“The mother of all X workouts.” Let me say this: I love Plyometrics. Day 2, I hated it and felt like death when the timer finally hit 0. Day 72, it’s probably my favorite workout of all, and I feel like a million bucks after reach iteration. My resting heartrate is 52 now, and more [...]

P90X Day 71 – Chest & Back, Ab Ripper X
“Bobby’s got his pot stirrers. Maren’s got her…… German stretch techniques.” Crazy. This was my last iteration of Chest & Back for the remainder of this round of P90X. It’s starting to set in that I’m almost done with this crazy workout. It’s pretty awesome how far I’ve come since I started. Like I mentioned [...]
