P90X: Day 15 – Chest & Back (Beginning Week 3)

So this is the 3rd and final week of doing the same routine of P90X exercises as the last 2 weeks. When I say “routine” I am not meaning a boring routine. Each time I have done these dvds I focus on trying to improve where I was lacking previously. Whether it is straightening my legs more during an abdominal exercise, reaching further in a stretch or doing more reps it is not boring. Even when I master these exercises I believe they will still challenge me. When I used to play soccer I was in the best shape of my life and every game still wore me out – same principal. If you don’t have the drive or desire in yourself to excel and be your personal best than I can see why you might lose interest. But that is why there are so many different exercise dvds. Even beyond this P90X there are ways that Tony Horton advises you that you can up the ante, like doing Doubles. Or, you can buy P90X Plus. Just thinking of that I started sweating.

Back Fly – working the shoulders!

Today kicked my ass! I’m gonna sleep well tonight!

P90X: Day 14 – Stretch X (Week 2 Complete!)

My second week of P90X is now complete! I feel great that I have accomplished this so far. Today you can take as a rest day or do X Stretch. I felt like I needed to work on my flexibility. My shoulders and back are really tight today for some reason. Maybe I need some acupuncture. I actually thought that maybe I should do this dvd in the evenings instead of just once a week.

Eventually I want to be able to lift my body higher in this stretch.

This stretch opens you​r chest up and feels good! One side feels tighter than the other. I am working on balancing my whole body. Need to keep my Qi (pronounced “chee”) flowing!
