P90X Phase Three - Day Sixty Four

It is back to Chest and Back. Man was I ever bagged. I barely made it through it. I managed to increase my push ups, and a little improve, and I mean little on the pull ups. I am not very good at the pull up part, but I keep on trying. Maybe one day I will be good at them.

Afterwards I gave Ab ripper X a shot, but only lasted half way, and then I completely bonked. I hope to do better on it on Wednesday.

P90X Phase Two - Day Fifty Two

This was a case of too much, too quickly. I hammered the first half of the exercises, and paid for it in the second half. By the time I got to the end, I could barely do the exercises, especially the max rep pull ups. I could only do half of what I normally do. Even though I died at the end, I still think it is better to go all out and die, versus not going hard, just to make the rep count at the end.


This turned out to be my best Ab Ripper X workout yet. I am still struggling with the heels to the sky exercise. With my hamstrings being as tight as they are, I can't get my legs straight, so I have to do the exercise with them bent.

Why is P90X so effective?




The secret behind the P90X system is an advanced training technique called "Muscle Confusion," which accelerates the results process by constantly introducing new moves and routines so your body never plateaus, and you never get bored! Whether you want to get lean, bulk up, or just plain get ripped, there's an endless variety of ways to mix and match the routines to keep you motivated the full 90 days and beyond!
How does P90X work?

Two words: Muscle Confusion. By providing an extensive variety of different moves that take time to master, P90X is continually challenging the body's muscles into new growth. The more you confuse the muscle, the harder your body has to work to keep up; the more variety you put into your workout, the better and faster your results will be.

The flaw with many fitness products is that they all lead to a "plateau" where the body becomes accustomed to the routines, resulting in diminished effectiveness. P90X avoids this plateau effect by switching things up to keep the body guessing for the entire 90 days. Which means IT NEVER GETS EASY. By breaking old routines and opening new doors, secondary and tertiary muscles are constantly being activated and developed.

P90X Phase Two - Day Forty

Another round of Legs and Back. My ability to do pull ups is still not that great. In this workout you end up doing around 100 pull ups. I do not find it fun tonight. More like a chore in fact, but I managed to fight my way through it. I will feel good about it in the morning, but not right now.

P90X Phase Two - Day Thirty Eight

This mornings workout was Back & Biceps. This was another of the workout that does not have repeats in it. So it was hard to determine the amount of weights I should use for each exercise. So I erred on the side of caution and backed it down a bit. Starting with lighter weights until I could figure the exercise out.

I marked down in my log book if the weight was easy, medium, or hard. So the next time, I can "bring it". This week repeats for the next three weeks, so I will be doing this each week. Trying to best the previous weeks high score, so to speak.

I must admit, this program even though it is tough,(or as tough as you want to make it) is a lot of fun.

P90X Phase One - Day Twenty Eight

Today I tried as usual to play catch up on the workouts that I missed. It was a grinder doing Legs & Back. It has a lot of pull ups, which is my weakest area of all, but even with that said, I have made improvements doing them. Small improvements, but improvements all the same.

Tomorrow I start week #4, and the cardio section of the program.

Monday: Yoga X
Tuesday: Core Synergistics
Wednesday: Kempo X
Thursday: X Stretch
Friday: Core Synergistics
Saturday: Yoga X
Sunday: X Stretch

It will be a good week of workouts, that's for sure.

P90X Phase One - Day Twenty-Two

Today is my re-start of week three. Last week I had a cold, and wasn't feeling that great that I only managed one P90X workout all week. So I decided to re-start at week three. I managed to go beyond what I did last time with some of the exercises, but on others I bombed and could only do half the reps.

That is what it all about. Trying to better the last time, and kept on improving. Even if it just one more rep than last time or more weight with the same number of reps. Inch by inch, step by step, just keep pushing yourself, and you will get better.

P90X Phase One - Day Twelve

Another round of legs and back. This time I didn't progress as well as I wanted. I managed to do one or two reps more on some of the pull ups, but basically stayed the same.

The wall squats are a killer. I still can't go the full 60 seconds at 90 degrees. For some reason I am better at the one leg version verses the two leg one. Also my coordination when doing the three way squats with kicks, is quite humorous to watch. What a spaz, but I still keep going no matter how stupid I look.

P90X Phase One – Day Eight

Today was the first repeat week of P90X. I did the Chest and Back workout. This one was a bit of a killer this time for two reasons. First I up the reps, and my abs were sore from the Yoga X I did on the weekend. I never realized how much you use your abs on pull ups, but boy could I really feel it with each rep.

I really went out too hard on the first set, and paid for it on the second. There were a couple of exercises that I did not pass the number of reps on the first set. These were of course the pull up ones.
The push up exercises and the weight exercises, I manage to meet or beat the numbers of reps. By the time I was finished, I was beat. There was no way I was going to be able to do the Ab Ripper X workout afterwards, so I skipped it.

I also found out why you should not do these workouts after eating. I did not think I was going to make it without running to the bathroom. So note to self, do not do these workouts within an hour of eating, or you will pay.

P90X Phase One - Day Five?

Well I just finished Fridays workout of Legs & Back. So I managed to only one day short this week. This gives me incentive to complete all the exercises this coming week. I am going to try and do them before going to work. That means getting up early and doing them.

It is going to be tough getting up at 5 am just to work out, but it is the end result I am striving for. Which means in way better shape and faster as a result in the boat. Of course this will not help my technique in any way, but I will have more power to propel the boat forward.

I am having a tough time with the pull ups. The first sets are ok, but as the workout goes on, I get sweater and sweater, and my hands keep slipping off the bar. I am going to have to use some hockey tape to make it so I don't slide off.

P90X Phase One - Day One

I was so bagged from the regatta, that I started my P90X one day late. I have to shift everything over one day for this week. Meaning there will be no rest day on Sunday. Next week I will be back on track.

First up was the Chest & Back workout. This is a series of push and pull exercises. Going from push ups to pull ups. I listened to Tony and paced myself for the first set on most of the exercises. Since I had done this workout before, I knew what to expect.

As with all of the DVDs, I was soaked by the time I was finished. These are excellent workouts and guaranteed to work you.
