P90X is in the books! Done! 90 Days!-- On to day 92.

4-5-10


Looks like I missed a couple updates on workouts from last week. I used the stretch day as a day off and slept in an extra hour. It was awesome. I loved it.

The second core synergistic workout was pretty tough, but once again, a whole lot of fun. Love the sweat that this gets going.

I was pretty giddy about the Yoga workout, because it marked the 90th day. My mind got in the way, but I pushed through it all because I completed it.

P90X has been completed. I believe I am now in the best shape of my life. I feel great. (I think) I look great. I have strength, balance, control, energy, peace of mind, endurance, and anything else you need athletically to be a super star.

So the question comes, what to do afterwards. Well, I just started it over. As I said earlier, I’m going on vacation next month to New Orleans, and working out will not be a big priority for this trip. That is 37 days away from today (my round 2 day 1) or just over 5 weeks. My plan is do day phase 3 again. Four weeks of the intense workouts then a recovery week. I’ll still have Monday - Wednesday to work on my vacation week, but I’ll cross that bridge when I get there.

A little commentary on the chest and back from today: I’m still very fatigued. I am definitely stronger and I did more pushups then I’ve ever done. Keeping records really helps you push week after week. I was really gassed at the end of the workout, mainly due to pushing myself to the edge. I really couldn’t have gone any harder. Then came the abs, and they were hard. I talked two weeks ago about how they were becoming too easy. I’m not sure if it was the physical exhaustion I had from the arms, or the core synergic and Yoga workouts from last week, but my body completely locked up in the mason twists at 46. I could not will my body to turn anymore. I kept my feet up, but I was just completely done. I think all of this is ok, but I’m going to monitor this to make sure results keep coming and performance does not decrease.

Did I mention that I’m done? 90 Days… Hard as hell, but one of the best things I’ve done for myself in a long time. Done and done (and already started over again).
