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.

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.

Like any other P90X workout you will always start out with a mini stretch usually lasting about 5- 6 minutes. After that its non-stop action with a few 30 second breaks. I believe the hardest exercises on this DVD is the beginning where your doing 3 in 1 push ups. These push ups test your ability to actually go slow in push up mode. You go down for a 3 count and then up for a 3 count but after 3 times you quickly do 3 punch ups fast. I have done this program twice and can now get through the first sequence.
