P90X Classic Day 18 – Yoga X
Woke up early this morning, about 6:30am (argh) and jumped right into doing some Yoga X.
If you remember, last week I had to skip it because of time constraints. I did NOT make it through the entire session today but I got close. There was 20 minutes left…so that means I went through roughly 70 minutes worth and the first 45 minutes is the hardest part.
I am doing better on my stretches, but still struggle when it comes to anything forcing one leg to hang parallel to the floor. I have also been noticing my wrists get a little irritated on some of the moves..to the point where I can do it.
One move is when you are holding yourself up with 1 arm on your side. I did that for 5 seconds and had to bail.
I also have noticed my left leg seems “stronger” or has more endurance than my right on several moves, which is surprising since my right tends to be my dominant leg.
So tomorrow is Legs and Back, so I hope I have built up some strength this week to make great progress on pull-ups. We shall see.
P90X Classic Day 43 – Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps – Ab Ripper X
about 1 year ago - 1 comment
Last night I completed Day 43 of my P90X Classic program. It’s the final week before recovery week.
I think I got a bit farther on my push-ups this week compared to last. I added a few more reps, but I still had to revert to doing them on my knees through most of the workout.
I [...]
P90X Progress Pictures – Day 42
about 1 year ago - Comments Off
This week has been somewhat hit and miss. I haven’t been able to dedicate every day to P90X…so I have had a couple days in between a few workouts. I am quite flexible and get in stretching whenever I can almost every day, so I have not utilized Stretch X. I have also been bad [...]
P90X Classic Day 41 – Kenpo X with punching bag
about 1 year ago - Comments Off
For a couple weeks in a row, I have chosen to go at my punching bag for my Kenpo X session. I spent about 40 minutes working on a combination of punches and kicks. I really feel good after a punching bag session.
Nothing else much to report on this one.

P90X Classic Day 40 – Legs and Back – BOOM goes the dynamite
about 1 year ago - 1 comment
So last night I had a fantastic session of Legs and Back. It’s actually one of the first sessions I have had that I walked away thinking…”damn that was some progress”.
Case in point, for most of the lunges I used 20lb dumbbells whereas before I was using either 15lbs or none. Then for the lateral [...]

P90X Classic Day 38 – Back and Biceps
about 1 year ago - 3 comments
My energy level today was a bit better then it was the last two workouts. I also was able to “up” my weight a bit on certain sets. On the lawnmowers I was able to go up to 25lbs. On many of the curls, I was able to use 20lbs. I was doing 20lbs on [...]
P90X Classic – Day 37 – Plyometrics – Dragging ass
about 1 year ago - Comments Off
So the good news. I burned about 1080 calories during this workout. In fact, that is the most single set of calories I have ever burned during P90X. I am not really sure why to be honest, since on average its between 850-900. One theory is I significantly lowered my caffeine intake and so that [...]
P90X Classic Day 36 – Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps
about 1 year ago - Comments Off
So I began Week #6 this evening with a grueling Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps workout. I also included Ab Ripper X at the end.
I think my body trying to regulate itself after greatly reducing my caffeine intake (for those keeping score at home, 400mg down to 30mg now per day) probably doesn’t help my energy [...]
P90X Classic Day 35 – Rest Day or X Stretch
about 1 year ago - Comments Off
I used my Day 35 as a rest day. Because Week 5 has been hectic as it is, I have been bad about ignoring the Yoga X day + any misc. stretching that should be taking place. Shame Shame I know.

P90X Classic Day 34 – Kenpo X – Punching Bag
about 1 year ago - Comments Off
Used my punching bag yesterday in place of doing Kenpo X.
I tried to replicate as many moves as possible, but focused more on my form and some power with moves like jabs and crosses.
I added in some roundhouse kicks, hooks, and some footwork. All in all, I spent about 40 minutes with the [...]

Holding the leg parallel is the worst. I think I need to get a yoga block for some of the stretches. I used a cardboard box today and it really helped me do some of the stretches so much better. I think when they start holding one leg out for five minutes I am not going to concentrate so much on if I can do the half moon with them but if I can keep my leg extended the whole time they do and then add the half moon stretch later. Your doing awesome!

Thanks. Sounds like you are rocking it too. Can’t wait to get to day 33 myself. I can’t believe 18 days have passed. Wozers
