P90X Classic Day 38 – Back and Biceps
Mar 21st
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 31 – Back and Biceps – Ab Ripper X
Feb 19th
Wow, what a nice workout. Every time I have to do anything with my arms…I just keep realizing how weak my upper body truly is..but I do feel like I am getting stronger.
I don’t really feel, honestly, that recovery week helped me get stronger though. Maybe its not supposed to after only 3 weeks. Maybe [...]
P90X Classic Day 24 – Kenpo X
Feb 10th
Today was day 24 doing Kenpo X. As always, one of my favorite workouts. I have noticed I have to push even harder now to keep my Heart Rate higher versus when I started. So my cardio endurance is getting much better.
I also introduced some light weights into this routine. When I say light, I [...]
P90X Classic Day 19 – Legs and Back
Feb 5th
I am coming down the home stretch of Week 3. Today was my 3rd Legs and Back day of the P90X program. I honestly must say I really really hate Monday’s and Friday’s of this first phase
They are by far the hardest days for me, mostly because of the upper body workout required, [...]
P90X Classic Day 15 – Chest and Back – Ab Ripper X – Disappointed
Feb 1st
I REALLY dread Monday’s with P90X. It’s because of Chest and Back, my two weakest muscle groups in my body. Every Monday for the last 3 weeks has been hard as hell. Yes, I am adding some reps to some things, and not on others. I think I still have a mental block that I [...]
P90X Classic Day 13 – Kenpo X plus Ab Ripper X
Jan 31st
Like I mentioned last time, Kenpo X is one of my favorite workouts, because it involves quite a bit of cardio but also the combination of punching / kicking to really get your blood moving.
Today was a good session and according to my $27 Walmart Heart Rate Monitor watch, when I put it into “calorie [...]
P90X Classic Day 9 – Plyometrics – The Devil took a seat
Jan 26th
Woke up early again this morning (will I ever get used to it?) 7am ugh.
So last time I wrote about Plyometrics, it was for Day 2 and I referred to it as “The Devils Dance”, because I literally thought Satan himself wanted to rip my legs off.
This morning..not so much, so eat it Satan. The [...]
P90x Classic Day 5 – Legs and Back
Jan 25th
I should first note in this post that I only got through 43 minutes of this workout because my left calf began cramping/knotting up on me, so I was unable to complete most of the moves.
In those 43 minutes, I did very well and kept a decent pace with the instructors which was nice.
The wall [...]
P90x Classic Day 4 – Yoga X, aka Satans Pose
Jan 21st
This morning I successfully completed Day 4 of P90x Classic. Today’s workout was Yoga X. I was forewarned by people online, Twitter, and even Tony Horton himself that this is not a walk in the park where you hold a couple of poses, breathe in and out, and then your done.
Holy craptastic were they right. [...]
P90x Classic Day 3 – Shoulders and Arms – Ab Ripper X
Jan 20th
Shoulders and Arms
The third day of P90x has been completed. I was very happy that todays workout, from a load perspective, wasn’t as volatile to my body as days 1 and 2. Granted, I still had a great workout and was exhausted, but it was nice to just focus on some weight exercises versus jumping [...]
