P90X Day 61: Core Synergistics

I hate this work-out!!! So it should be obvious about what I plan to do......I'm going to add this to my weekly routine.  I figure Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays I will do Resistance Training.  Tuesdays/Thursdays/Saturdays and Sundays will be Cardio days.  Tuesdays will be Plyos, Thursdays: Kenpo X, Saturday Yoga and Sunday Core Synergistics followed by X stretch. 

29 days to go!  So its time to BRING IT!!!!

P90X Day 59: Kenpo X

Tony lied!!!!!  This is not a "Recovery" week!  But I must say that I had a great work-out.  My shirt was drenched and a lot of calories have been burned.  Instead of doing the X Stretch tomorrow, I'm replacing it with Plyometrics to ramp up "Recovery" week.

P90X Day 58: Core Synergistics

This work-out is a total body work-out that includes cardio, stretching and resistance to strengthen the core muscles.  So basically there are moves from the Cardio X and Yoga X work-outs in this work-out. I had to pause this DVD twice so instead of completing this work-out in under an hour, it took me 1hr and 5mins to complete this work-out. 

The two good things about this work-out are: 1. It loosened my lower back and 2. Overall, I felt good afterwards.

P90X Day 57: Yoga X

All I can say is NAMASTE!!!!!!! Yoga X started off my "Recovery Week".  I have to do this work-out twice this week.  This is my third time doing this work-out and I'm glad to say that I made it all the way through.  After completing this work-out once again, I was drenched with sweat.  Once again, NAMASTE!!!!!!!!!! 

Day 56

I wanted to take it easy once again before starting my "Recovery Week" so today, I rode the stationary bike.  It took me 75mins to ride for 20miles.
