Day 89 of P90X – Core Synergistics complete.
Just finished Day 89 of P90X – Core Synergistics….I’ve never felt more in shape in my entire adult life! As Robyn and I finish the 90-day P90X routine I’ve lost 20 pounds – I started at 197 and I currently weigh 177. Robyn has lost 24 pounds. Aside from the weight loss we both look [...]
Day 80 of P90X – Plyometrics complete.
That’s right – only 10 days left!!! I finished Day 80 this morning with a sweating rendition of Plyo X – aka Jump Training. Plyometrics is the most grueling of the cardio workouts, but there is a reason I tend to push it more than normal. The P90X videos typically include Tony Horton the instructor [...]
Day 79 of P90X – Back and Biceps + Ab Ripper X complete.
Just completed Day 79 of P90X – Back and Biceps + Ab Ripper X. Today starts week 12 and was supposed to be Chest, Shoulders, & Triceps but Robyn’s chest hurt so we swapped Wednesday’s workout for today. Solid burn today – since the focus was on “only” two muscle groups the end result is [...]
Day 73 of P90X – Plyometrics (jump training) complete.
Just completed Day 73 of P90X – Plyometrics (also called Jump Training). Tony Horton (P90X instructor) calls Plyometrics “the Mother of all P90X workouts.” I agree. In terms of a solid cardiovascular workout nothing else in the P90X series competes with Plyo – it’s 60 minutes of sweating and pushing. Workouts are broken into 4 [...]
Day 72 of P90X – Chest & Back + Ab Ripper X complete.
Just finished 53 minutes of Chest & Back and 16 minutes of Ab Ripper X. Solid workout today – good old fashioned push-ups kick my butt every time! Today’s workout is broken in to 12 different exercises with an equal combination of chest (push-up) & back (pull-up) routines. Once you finish the first 12 exercises [...]
Day 69 of P90X – Kenpo X in the history books.
Just completed 58 minutes and some change of Kenpo X – an intense karate based P90X cardiovascular workout. Day 69 is in the bag. Here are my quick thoughts on Kenpo X. Kenpo X is one of the most fun P90X workouts because it includes variety and full body movement. Unlike other videos that focus [...]
Day 57 of P90X – Chest & Back + Ab Ripper X complete.
Just completed day 57 of P90X – Chest & Back + Ab Ripper X. It was great to get back to some muscle building after a week of strength training (Core / Yoga) and cardiovascular workouts (Kenpo X / Plyometrics). P90X Chest & Back is as old school as it gets – tons of push-ups [...]
Day 48 of P90X – Kenpo X complete.
Just finished Day 48 of Kenpo X with Robyn. Great workout today – I actually turned to Robyn and said this is getting easy….of course that’s not true, but we definitely worked hard this morning and felt great doing so. Today ends Week 7 of P90X since tomorrow is an R & R day. Looking [...]
Day 47 of P90X – Legs & Back + Ab Ripper X complete.
Just completed Day 47 of P90X – Legs & back solo….since Robyn woke up and worked out at 5:30am (a little bit too early for me) because she had a meeting. For me….the legs workout may be the most challenging of all – it just seems like I expend more energy working legs than any [...]
