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.
