The second month rearranges the days of the week that you work various body parts but retains the heavy resistance approach. Most moves are done from a stable two-legged position which de-emphasizes the core. P90x, on the other hand, gets right into heavy resistance in the first week and hits all body parts with workouts like Chest & Back, Shoulders & Arms, and Legs & Back. P90X (11 different workouts not counting Ab Ripper X, 45-58 minutes each with the exception of Yoga X which is 92 minutes) For the most part the resistance routines are 10 reps each. The second phase of X3 focuses on classic weight training, hypertrophy, and includes more traditional cardio routines like Triometrics and MMX. Agility X is a nice routine in this phase that works on forcing you to move from one unstable position to another without losing posture–it’s not a classic cardio routine like so many want it to be. In this phase many moves are done in unstable positions (on one leg for example) and with light weights. P90X3 is designed as an all-around comprehensive program starting off with a “foundational” phase which focuses on core, balance, agility, and stabilization, rather than muscle growth.

Looking ahead to the rest of the week, it looks like we’re going to get 10+” of snow, and since I work in the news, that means crazy(er) than normal schedules - and possibly an overnight stay at the hotel a couple of blocks up the street from work.Every program, including Deluxe workouts, Bonus workouts, and New Releases! P90X3 (16 different workouts not counting Cold Start or Elite Upgrade workouts, all 30-33 minutes each) So, I think I’m going to skip that one for a while, and possibly some of the Ab Ripper X moves until my butt stops hurting! (TMI, I know.) I realized as I was doing it on my padded concrete floor, that now that some of my personal padding is gone, my tailbone just gets wrecked at the end of the move right before you pop up. In other news, my tailbone still feels bruised, and I was doing Core Synergistics the other day, I realized why it hurts - the Dreya Roll (for the uninitiated here’s what it looks like: The Dreya Roll - clearly this isn’t me in the video). In 55 minutes, I was in my zone for 48 with an average heart rate of 148 - a max of 171! In all, I burned just over 900 - and that’s with skipping the three-move bonus round and a lot of modification on some of the moves. This trend carried through the workout, and I spent a lot of time over my zone, so I had to sit and rest and chill to get that heart rate back down. Even in the warmup, I was up in the 130s, where normally I’m down in the 115s.
My heart rate was really high, and I’m not sure why. In 45 minutes, I burned just under 700 calories.Ī two hour nap and some Muscle Milk later, I was feeling really energized, so I did today’s Plyo workout - and it kicked my ass.
I’m starting to get up in the 20-30 reps per move zone, when not too long ago I was lucky to do 5-10 on my knees. I’m also seeing huge improvements on my push-up form and numbers. I think I’m going to do it this way for a few weeks, then go down to only one band after maxing out on no assist. I’ve gone from doing all pull-ups with three bands, to doing some pull-ups with only two bands. I’m starting to ween myself off the pull-up assist bands, and did the first five or so without them, then finished out my set with the assist. Today when I got home around 10:00, I did yesterday’s Chest & Back routine. I haven’t seen my daughter since Sunday night. I had to skip my Monday workout because I worked Midnight-1:30pm on Monday, and had to be back in at Midnight Tuesday morning, which meant by the time I got home, I had enough time to have lunch before going to bed.
After being briefly behind, I’m now all caught up again!
