I ended up switching out yesterdays yoga day for rest and did yoga today on the rest/stretch day instead. We were painting all day yesterday and just didn’t have time to get the yoga routine in. Anyways, I did it today and it was pretty hard. I felt like my arms were weak, most likely from all the painting we did. Tomorrow starts week 5 which means the new routines are coming into play. It’s going to be fun!

We finished up another good core synergystics workout today. It’s a really great workout. I like it even though it’s probably the hardest workout of all the P90X routines. It goes by quick and really gets you sweating. And it feels like a full body workout so that’s a plus as well.

Since this is a recovery week, today was supposed to be an X Stretch day. But since we missed last Saturdays Kenpo X workout, Bransen and I decided to do a Plyometrics workout today instead. We both had a really great workout. One of the best ever. Later on Napua did the X Stretch routine, and I decided to do the first half of it with her. I didn’t do the second half because I was making dinner at the time. I feel pretty good though from doing what I did.

Todays recovery week workout was Kenpo X. We had a really great workout. By the end we were covered in sweat and feeling great. This one always makes me feel good by the end. I just wish the warm up was more traditional. I just don’t like doing the kenpo warmup for some reason!

Wow! I forgot how awesome the P90X Core Synergystics workout is! All three of us, Bransen, Napua and I, just completed the workout and it was great. We were all sweating so much it was crazy. Our mats were soaked and probably the carpet too. I feel great! I don’t know why this workout is part of the recovery week because it’s really intense. I like it though and it seems to go by really fast.

Today was day 22, the first day of the first recovery week. We all just completed Yoga X. It was a pretty good workout for all of us I think. I know it was for me. We only have 2 mats so I had to do it without a yoga mat but other then that everything was great. I’m looking forward to the rest of the week.

Today was supposed to be kenpo x but because my aunt and uncle are in town and we are spending the day with them we ended up doing something else instead. I ended up taking a 10 mile bike ride today for my workout. Also I mowed the lawn and did some work in the yard as well. That should be a pretty good calorie burn I think. Plus technically this week is supposed to be a recovery week anyways so I’m ok with the substitution considering I’ve been doing doubles.

Well, Day 90 is finally here. The last workout was yoga and it went very well. I really enjoyed it. I’ve posted my 90 day pictures and measurements at the bottom of the page. I’m very pleased with my results in round 1. P90X day 91, here we come!

We’re really starting to wrap things up now. I can’t believe that it’s day 89 of P90X already! Tomorrow will be day 90 already! The time has went by so fast. Todays workout was Core Synergistics once again. It actually seemed easier today then it did earlier in the week. Not that it was easy by any means. It wasn’t. In fact it was still really hard. I can feel a bit of soreness in my core muscles even as I sit here typing this. At this point, all I can say is P90X works. There’s no doubt about it. From day 1 until the end, it keeps working you and the workouts are still able to make you sore and sweaty even at the end of the program. Of course for me, the first 90 days is just the beining of a fitness journey that I hope will last a lifetime.

Todays recovery week “workout” was X Stretch. I’m always glad when this routine comes around because I know that by the end I’m going to be feeling like a million bucks. At first I thought that a full hour of stretching was too much but now after doing it a few times the whole thing seems to fly by. Your just relaxing and feeling good and before you know it it’s over. I’ve said this before but I’m really glad they put the x stretch routine into the P90X program. It’s really a great routine, especially during the recovery week.

Todays recovery week workout was Kenpo X. I still really like the workout. In fact I like it more now then when I started. The cool thing about the kenpo workout is that I get a good cardio workout with lots of sweat but at the same time its pretty fun to do. I think it’s funny to watch Wesley in the background. He does all the moves properly and if you compare him to everyone else it’s really obvious that he’s the only one that Really knows what he’s doing. Luckly for me, I’m not in this to learn kenpo karate, I’m in it for the great cardio workout!

Todays workout was core synergistics and it was hard! This is only the 5th time that I’ve had to do this workout so far. I forget how hard it is until it comes up in the rotation again. And they call this a recovery week! By the end of the core synergistics workout I was sweating as much or more then I have with any other workout routine. Overall I think it went pretty well, even though I had a tough time with some of the exercises.

Today marked the first day of the last recovery week (and last week period) of the first 90 days of P90X. It was yoga and the workout went pretty good. I enjoyed it even though I felt a little tight and wasn’t able to complete the moves very well. I did my best and by the end I felt relaxed and really good. It’s pretty crazy that we’re in the final week of the first 90 days already.

Wow, yoga was really bad today. I think I had the worst yoga day today since starting P90X. My body feels really tired and I just was not into it. It seemed to drag on and on and I just couldn’t do the poses properly. I feel like I’ve taken a giant step in the wrong direction just before starting on phase 3. I really hope that I can get back into the swing of things by Monday when the real work starts again.

I just finished the second core synergistics routine for this week. I did better today then the last time. I feel like it was a pretty good workout. Unfortunatly my wife decided she didn’t want to do it again (if you remember from the last recovery week I posted that she absolutly hates this workout). She’s going to be trading out todays core workout for the Jillian Michaels Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism workout. Which if you haven’t seen it yet you should check it out. It is very much like a P90X workout. I’m going to be doing it along with my wife so today will be a doubles day for me. So much for the recovery week

UPDATE – We just finished the Jillian Michaels Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism workout and let me tell you, it was no joke. That workout made me sweat as much as any of the P90X workouts. It’s a good supplemental workout for any P90Xer in my opinion.

X Stretch felt really nice today. It was just what the doctor ordered. I’m really enjoying this recovery week. My body feels like it’s getting rested up nicely and I’m going to be ready to go 100%  for phase 3. It’s hard to believe that phase 3 is almost here already! I can’t wait!

I’m still really enjoying the kenpo workout. I get a great workout from it and it seems to go by fairly quickly. I’m always covered in sweat by the end. The warm up wasn’t as bad as usual today either so that’s good. I’m enjoying the recovery week so far (no doubles) and I’m looking forward to the stretch tomorrow.
