p90x Pylometrics What To Expect

Posted by: admin  /  Category: P90X Workout



Day 2 P90x
Pylometrics

This work out really is a chore.

It is a relief not to have to do any muscle workout after all the push ups and pull ups from p90x day 1. But Pylo is a pretty tough workout and you have to stay focused to get all the benefits of the workout.

It is easy to loose motivation and not bring it at the end of this workout, but I did my best to stay with it and make every move count.

Pylometrics going to help me have a stronger ski and snowboard season
I feel like Pylo is were i need the most work when it comes to fitness, I can go to a gym and lift all day, but I won’t be doing any jump squats. The moves done in this video I think are the number one thing that will get me in shape for ski and snowboard season as well.

Every time I felt like stopping or just not putting my full energy into a move I just thought about snowboarding and kept in mind that these moves would make me stronger for the sport.

I am for sure sore from day 1 of p90x so i have been focusing on staying hydrated and eating right, hopefully it will help me recover quicker!

Sore After P90x

Posted by: admin  /  Category: P90X Workout

shoulder

The first time I did P90X, I was pretty darn sore, this time I thought it would be better because I have been lifting in the gym.

Well its not!

The upper body is sore, which just goes to show you that P90x really does work muscles that you can miss out in the gym. I think it is all the push ups and struggling to do pull ups, those little muscles get worked more.  Really Day 1 of p90x the chest and back is one of the toughest workouts in my opinion.

What hurts:
-Chest
-Shoulders
-Biceps
-upper back
-lats
-tiny muscles that I had forgotten about

I was sore all morning and then I hit up Day 2 P90x, which is Pylo and my muscles started warming up. About an hour after the workout though, the soreness returned now its just not in the upper body but also in lower.

I really forgot how much the week 1 of p90x can really hurt ya!

P90x Chest and Back Workout

Posted by: admin  /  Category: Motivation, P90X Workout

Day 1 P90x
Chest and Back ANDDDD AB RIPPER X

Day 1 always a struggle

Whenever you start any fitness plan or diet there is always day 1. It is a good day to see what needs work, where you are strong and where you are weak.

Having some base fitness down before starting p90x
So the last couple months I have been biking and lifting weights at the gym, so I didn’t let myself totally go and I actually felt okay on todays workout. The first time I did p90x I hadn’t lifted in over a year and I struggled on doing any push-ups off my knees. Today I could easily do 10-15 off the knees on most of the push ups. So at least I haven’t been loosing much strength. Now I see perks to going into P90x with some fitness base planted you can keep up and work harder, hopefully getting better results.

The Ab Ripper X is still a B*tch!  Its not my favorite and adds on to the total amount of time so even when you get done with the main workout your can’t really celebrate.  And three days of week of it, is kinda of overkill, but I’ll stick with it.

What to Expect
Expect a lot of push ups with day one.

It Never Feels Better then Saying Day 1 DONE!

Breaking The P90x Rules

Posted by: admin  /  Category: Insanity Workout, Learning, P90X Workout

Okay so I have decided to do a little p90x while I wait for my new workout THE INSANITY WORKOUT also by beach body and Shaun T.

I like p90x though, I think it is one of the best at home workout outs, not only the moves but Tony Horton himself makes it a good experience.

I thought about doing p90x all over again, but I’m just to tempted to try the Insanity workout, which is a 60 day program and looks pretty sweet!

In the meantime though I’m going get back to doing a little p90x, I’m going to follow the program until I have the Insanity workout and then I’m going to just do maybe the P90x Yoga and maybe one of the strength DVDs.

Working out is
All about getting in shape for me, that may mean switching up programs adding and subtracting some things.  The point of most workouts including p90x is to get fit and get used to working your body every day.  If a workout program doesn’t seem fun or I don’t think I’m putting in the best effort, then that tells me one thing, switch it up.  It is not an excuse to quit working out, but to find a new activity to do, so I can keep progressing my strength and fitness levels.

Breaking Workout Rules

It is fun to follow a fitness plan and accomplish what you set out to do, but really think about a workout plan before you start it and see how it works with your lifestyle.  You may have to break the rules and guidelines that some programs set up for you and rearrange the workouts to fit you day.

Some people get really amazing results doing p90x while others don’t.  This probably is because the people who are getting the results, love the workout and are really pushing themselves, while the others are just going through the motion and watch the clock through the whole video.

Although I think there are good parts to P90x and I do intend to incorporate some of the videos into my week, I’m really ready to try something else like the Insanity Workout and some heavy lifting at the gym.

But until my new videos come I’ll be dusting off the p90x weights!

Day 42
Recovering but for sure missed out on some videos, not sure what I will do, maybe take the videos I missed-Legs and back/Plyo and Kenpo and add them onto the recover week or just add another full week and then do the recovery week not sure yet.  Since it is only three workouts I prob could add them on and then just recover the rest of the week.

P90x Week 5-Days 29-35

Posted by: admin  /  Category: P90X Workout

Making it through the first month of P90x is a great feeling


Onto PHASE 2:

Day 29 P90x
Chest, Shoulder &Tricep/ Ab Ripper x
Sore level upon waking-0
So this is a new video for the week and I thought it was just okay.  I like the Chest workout from Phase 1 a little better.  But maybe it is just because I know all moves now.  I sorta thought there was too much shoulder in this one.
Ab Ripper X is getting more fluid and goes smoothly now.

Day 30
Plyometrics
Sore level upon waking-2
Shoulders sore this morning from yesterday.  I can’t say much about today’s workout; just that I’m always thrilled when it is over.  It was complete torcher for me to stay INSIDE and do this video when it is Blue Skies and 74 degrees!

Day 31
Back N Bicep+ Ab Ripper X
Sore level upon waking- 2
Ohhhhh I like this workout!  Tons of Bicep……Love it!

Day 32
Yoga X
Soreness upon waking- 4
Feeling a bit sore all over today.  Body probably still adjusting to the new workouts.  So I guess it was a good day for Yoga.  Got it done and do feel a bit better now, for some reason I always seem to feel sleepy after this workout.

Day 33
Leg N Back and Ab Ripper X
Soreness upon waking-0
Was feeling pretty good when I woke up this morning so went for a jog and then came in and did the P90x Workout….Legs were really feeling.  Overall Good day!  So far have been staying on workout track for the week!

Day 34
Soreness upon waking-2
Rest Day

Day 35
Kenpo
Soreness upon waking-0
Bought a New Kayak today, got out and hit up some paddle time, hopefully shoulders won’t get to sore.
I was tired but still fit in Kenpo and I do think it may be the funniest workout video in the p90x series!  Moving on to week 6 tomorrow!
