Workout Week Sept 21st – 27th
I have two more weeks to go and my second time through P90x will be completed. Here is what I did for workouts and a few examples of how they were.
9-21
This workout is probably my second favorite because it gives you the best upper body workout. I wont be able to explain every exercise in detail so click above for that but all I can say is lots of push ups. Make sure you have a recovery drink after and a protein shake for lunch. Don’t forget Ab Ripper X.
9-22
Plyometrics
I used to dislike this one cause there was lots of jumping but now I use it as a way to entertain my daughter. In this workout you do an exercise called jump knee tuck. Its the hardest thing I have ever done. Try jumping in place but the object is to hit your hands with the top of your knees. Its super difficult but you sweat like hell.
9-23
Back & Biceps
If you are not good at pull ups then look no further. You will get good at doing pull ups and curls in this workout. I used to be able to only do like 1 pull up and now the second time through P90X I can now do almost 13 in a row. My resultshave been awesome since and my upper body strength is fantastic. Don’t forget to do your Ab Ripper X as well.
9-24
All I can say here is that Yoga X has made me incredibly flexible and actually helps with any soreness your having. I actually showed my father in law and few of these moves because he has had a sore back all his life. He was truly impressed with my knowledge as well as the fact that the pain started going away. He pretty much got bored with his exercises and his body got used to the movements that it wasn’t doing anything for him. Another great reason to look at the coaching opportunity. If you practice and help other why not benefit from it.
9-25
I will have to admit that I have skipped this workout a few times and finally did it this week. I will never do that again because I was sore for 3 days after. Wall squats for 90 seconds and then wall squats with one leg in the air. Pretty intense if you ask me. Recovery drink is a for sure after this workout. Oh and don’t forget Ab Ripper X. I can now do the last workout with my legs in the air and get through 40 leg raises.
9-26
Kenpo X
I will be writing more in depth about this workout because its so enjoyable. Lots of action with punches and kicks. The best part is the end or the sports bonus. 3 different moves and 3 different sports. Basketball, football, baseball. I also was throwing my brother a Bach party today. It consisted of limo bus, casino and the bars. We got home at 6 am. OUCH!
9-27
REST DAY. Thank God for this rest day as I didn’t move from the couch. Bach party was fun but man I am paying for it. Yes my wife hated me but expected me to be worthless today. I want to encourage anyone reading that they should look into the free account that beach body gives you. It has a similar look to face book but not as intense. If you intend on buying anything now or in the future then consider becoming a coach. Why? Well make money and a sweet discount for you.
Workout For week 8-31 to 9-7
This is my last week of this set of workouts and then I enter my final 4 weeks of P90X. Starting next week I will be in my recovery week where the program allows you to recover from any soreness you may have.
8-31
Chest, shoulders and triceps.
This is still my favorite workout since I started P90x because it just tightens your upper body up so much. I can now do 3 one arm push ups on each side. The heaviest dumbbells I use for this workout is about 20lbs. Always keep a 5, 10, 15lb dumbbell around because the closer you get to the end the harder it is to keep up with the heavier weights. Don’t forget your Ab Ripper X when your done.
9-1
Plyometrics.
I now can say that this workout is getting easier. The sports bonuses the best. I can keep up with every exercise and not be gasping for air. I did this workout as my wife Lisa was feeding our little girl and she was just looking at me so funny. She would look at me with this look of confusion wondering why daddy wont stop jumping like a monkey. The best part was I got a hell of a workout and she ate all her food. Try it for entertainment purposes!
9-2
Back & Biceps.
This workout is all pull ups and curls. I couldn’t even do one pull up when I started in May and now I can do 15 pull ups without stopping. I think my wife is impressed too. This one isn’t my favorite but man do the pull ups never stop. Use a chair as it will help you with range of motion. Ab Ripper X to follow so don’t forget!
9-3
Yoga X
Now I hate how long this dvd is but I can do things after Yoga X that I never thought I could do. 1 hour and 30 min of Yoga is not easy but if you just stay focused and concentrate you will eventually fall in love with it. It tests your balance, flexibility and strength. I have never dripped sweat by stretching before but I can see why men don’t like Yoga. I recommend a Yoga block and mat as it has helped me out. Also do this one at night because you will sleep like a baby.
9-4
Legs & Back
I enjoy this workout simply because its not as difficult as the others. My legs have always been strong so I still get the back workout. Lots of pull ups here as well so make sure you have a chair handy. Soccer is in two weeks so I should be prepared. Even at 30 I still feel that I can play with the youngins. Ab Ripper to follow
9-5
Kenpo X
If there is one workout you have to miss don’t let it be this one because its FUN! I cant tell you how much I love this dvd. The punching, kicking and blocking that makes you break out into this sweat. The ending is the best because you get into a horse stance and punch 150 times as fast as you can and then its all over. I will also be watching lots of college football. FINALLY
9-6
REST DAY!
One more week until NFL kicks off! Today Im going to make sure my girls(daughter and wife) have there bags packed because baby #2 is due any day now. Is it a BOY or a GIRL? Filp a coin becuase we dont know either.
