Day 4 – Yoga X

Posted in Workouts, Yoga X on March 11th, 2010 by Palespyder – Be the first to comment

I really struggled with the Yoga X, I have always had issues doing yoga. My biggest problem with it as of now is holding myself in downward facing dog for all that time. I am almost 300 lbs, it is not easy to hold that much weight up on my hands without falling. Then I am not even close to being flexible enough to swing my feet underneath to do the Warrior and Runner poses.

Now that the whining is over, next week I will just continue to push harder and harder until I am able to do these moves the way that Tony says they should be done. I am not naive enough to think that Yoga is not good for me, I know that more flexibility and more strength in the stabilizer muscles will be amazing for my SCA fighting.

“Yoga is a vital part of any fitness regimen, and is an absolute must for an extreme program like P90X. This routine combines strength, balance, coordination, flexibility, and breath work to enhance your physique and calm your mind. Yoga X will leave you feeling energized, invigorated, and maybe even a little enlightened.”

Day 2 – Cardio X

I actually thought this being Cardio X would make the workout be unbearable and you would be so exhausted you would not be able to finish. I found quite the contrary, this workout is well paced and allows you to work hard without getting so winded you have to stop. I think the mixture of Kenpo, Plyo, and Yoga is a great mix and keeps me from getting bored.  I think I will find my heart rate monitor and get myself really going on this one next week.

“This low-impact cardio routine can be used in a variety of ways to meet your P90X goals. Use it in addition to your standard P90X workload when you want to burn some extra calories, or as a substitute if your body needs a break from the program’s high-impact workouts. Whatever your reason for using Cardio X, you’ll find it to be a fun, full-throttle, fat burning workout that will leave you feeling lean and mean.”
