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.

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 Fifty

Back to Chest, Shoulders and Triceps. Today's workout was ok, not too hard. and not too easy. I push it where I could and maintained last weeks effort when I could not.The one arm push ups are still hard being in the middle of the workout. I am still doing them on my knees, but I am going fairly low to the ground.



After Chest, Shoulders and Triceps it was straight into Ab Ripper X. It was my best performance yet doing it. There was only two exercises out of eleven that I could not keep up, but I would still finish it, just not at the speed of the group.

P90X Phase One - Day Thirty Three

Core Synergistics was the workout this morning. Today I was sluggish, and wasn't keeping up on some of the exercises. I kept an even pace throughout the workout, but could not get into the "X" level of it. As usual I did the extra. It does not make sense to me to stop, and fast forward to the cool down. Just keep going and do the extra stuff, at the end you feel much better for doing it.

Still having difficultly in doing the banana to superman. Will keep working on it. Presently I am setting up my calendar to do two rounds of P90X. The next one will be doubles, and should take me to the start of the spring surf ski racing.

P90X Phase One - Day Thirty

Wow thirty days already. Time really flies when you are focused.

This mornings workout was Core Synergistics, and after only getting about 4-1/2 hours sleep, it was difficult. This is really a great core workout, and I felt it afterwards. On this first run through I did not add any weights to the exercises, just worked on form.

This was a good idea, especially doing the Lunge, Kick Back, Curl, Press routine. I tries it first with weights but had to drop them because I was such a spaz, I kept tipping over. I also had trouble doing the Superman to Banana exercise. Going from Superman to Banana I had no problems, but going the opposite way, I had to push off with my hand every time.

No one is perfect right off the get go, and these are areas I need to work on. It what makes this program fun. Learning new exercises and moves makes it interesting and challenging.

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 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 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.
