Phase 2 of P90X
On days 47 to 51 I did Yoga, Legs, Back and ab ripper X, Kenpo X and had a rest day.
Yoga was really good, I felt so good after, always do. Yoga also seems to be better, the length doesn't really brother me know. Every thing else went really great. I don't really have much to report...I finished week 7 of phase 2.
I bought some new protein powder called Isokool from Allmax Nutrition. As they say...
"It's a striking departure from the ordinary. Imagine an extremely high-quality Cold Temperature Process whey protein Kooler that tastes so good, you'll think you're drinking your favorite juice. The technology is called Flavor Bond and it has revolutionized the old notion that great protein drinks have to taste bad to be good. Flavor Bond has allowed the protein experts at Allmax Nutrition to create an easy-to-mix, delicious protein
Kooler with only 1 gram of carbs and zero fat. When you consider that you're also getting 22 g of pure whey protein in every scoop, that's truly amazing.
Isokool delivers cool, refreshing taste and is available in 3 delicious flavors Lemon Ice Tea, Green Apple and Tropical Fruit. Due to an instantization process, Isokool mixes easily in a shaker cup and doesn't require a blender. Served shaken, over ice — you've never had protein this good."
We'll see how it goes. I can tell you that I really like the taste.
Today I started week 8, the recovery week. Whoo-Hoo! This is the last week of phase 2. Today was Yoga which was really great, definitly more flexable.
Phase 2 of P90X
Day 44 I did Chest, Shoulders, Triceps and Ab ripper X. I found this a little harder than normal, I was still a little under the weather from yesterday. I did finish it and I was glad it was over, it felt like forever. Everything was burning after I was
finished. Ab ripper X I found hard as well. But then again, it's normally hard. I still can't believe week 7 is almost over and Phase 2.
Day 45 Plyometrics is What you call "the mother of all of P90X". Today I was also feeling normal so I worked
extra hard with some extra sweat to go with it. In the evening I had kickboxing which was a little harder from doing plyo this morning. Plyo and kickboxing on the same day is pretty crazy. I love the feeling of a great burn and twice in the same day. One word...awesome. I love kickboxing.
Day 46 Back,Biceps and Ab ripper X went super. I love the Bicep workouts, I also love doing weightlifting.
I tried some new protein bars called Oh Yeah!. Protein Wafer Bars by ISS Research. It is a scrumptious Cream filled Wafer Loaded With protein. They are very good.
Phase 2 of P90X
It's been a while since I last posted about my P90X adventure. I'm still doing it and every thing is right on track. I would like to thank all of you for reading. On day 38 I did Plyometrics; I thought it went pretty good. I feel like I can jump higher and that I have more energy. This is a really big improvement from the first day. At first I didn't really like plyo, now I kinda enjoy it. It is still pretty crazy and you do burn a lot of calories.
On day 39 I did Back, Biceps and Ab ripper X. Here's proof that p90X is working. When I started I could hardly do one chin-up. Now I can do 5 on my own...Whoo-Hoo! Iam pretty happy about that. I am still not a fan of chin-ups though. :) Although I agree that it is a really work out. I like all the bicep workouts. There is a pretty good variety which keeps things interesting. The strip-set curls where crazy and my arms were burning after that. I did some heavier weights on some of the workouts and more reps.
Day 40 was Yoga. I did the crane for a whole 10 sec. LOL! I don't know how people do that. My balance is better and I do feel more flexible. I guess you would expect to get better if you are doing it for 1 hour and 30min. As usual, the Yoga helped my body feel better. That is one thing I love about yoga.
I did Legs, Back and Ab ripper X again on day 41. The leg workouts always make my legs burn. This is a good indication that it's an effective workout. I have noticed a difference in my legs, they seem to be more toned, which is what I was going for.
Day 42 - more Chin-ups and the that crazy ab ripper X workout. Ab ripper X is pretty hard core. I now have that video memorized. LOL! I hate it but I love it. So far, Kenpo X was the best workout for the week, It went really well.
And finally, day 43, my rest day. Thank god because I was a little under the weather.
This was my 6th week. It feels like I've been doing this forever and I can't wait to see what the end has to bring. I hope
everyone is still bringing it.
Phase 2 of P90X
During these days I did Kenpo X, Rest, Chest, Shoulders, Triceps and Ab ripper x. Kenpo was good as always, I always find that time flys when doing this one. I was pretty sore from doing legs and Back the day before, my Gluteus Maximus was pretty sore the next day so I know I worked hard. The rest week may made me like this, it felt like I was starting all over from the first week. So far I found the first week and the first week of phase 2 to be the worst. Sunday was my rest day which was nice from of a crazy week.
Yesterday was my cheat day, so I had some birthday cake for my little girls birthday. I Couldn't say no because that would be wrong. So today I worked extra hard. tomorrow I will be doing Plyo and then kickboxing in the evening. I didn't really eat the greatest today. The rest of the week will be good, food wise.
Phase 2 of P90X
Sorry for not writing in a long time. I had a really bad week with unexpected family emergencies. On Wednesday I spent half the day in the ER with my daughter. Than at 2 in the morning my daughter went into respiratory distress. I had to rush her to the hospital, so I got no sleep that night. It was one of the scariest times of my life. Good thing she is doing better now. In addition to this I had to go for a medical test on Thursday and had to be sedated. So, that is the gist of my week. I hope next week will be better. On Monday, day 30, I did Plyometrics which went pretty good। Last week I didn't do it because it was my rest week. That did make a difference, it was a little harder than normal. I did finish it and didn't stop.
Tuesday night I restarted kickboxing. Plyo and kickboxing the same day was pretty nuts. when I restarted kickboxing I was not sore at all, my waist was sore from holding the tie pads. Other than that it was all good. On Wednesday and Thursday I took as a rest day. To make it worse, I also missed kickboxing on Thursday night.:( There was no way I could
workout, I was so beet. Today, day 33, I did Yoga in the morning which felt really great. I got a really good sweat. This afternoon I did Legs, Back and Ab ripper X. It was pretty hard after not working out for 2 days in a row. I found that today Ab ripper X was pretty hard. It felt pretty good though, but I was glad when it was over. Back and legs felt pretty good; my legs where burning. So far so good. I hope next week will be better and less stress, and I get everything back on track.
I would like to know how your P90X experience is going, what you find hard about?
Core Synergisitics and Yoga X
This is the end of my Phase 1 of P90X. I can't believe one month has gone by. Over all it was a pretty crazy month, I can't believe I never missed a day of P90X. Two more months to go and I'am done and I can't wait to see what my body will look like. My yoga had improved a lot, I can feel that my balance is better. I do feel stronger and I can see some more muscle definition. This is what I really wanted. Core Synergisitics was pretty crazy I was really sore for the second time around of doing it. I kinda changed my schedule around and I did the core Synergisitics first than took my rest day. I had plans that day so it wouldn't of worked out. Once I did the Yoga I felt much better and everything is all good. The month was one crazy, hardworking, sweating, intense month. It was well worth it, everyone doing P90X I wish you the best of luck and keep working hard.
