P90X Days 81 and 82 – Yoga X, Back and Biceps, Ab Ripper X
P90X day 81 was Yoga X. I feel like Yoga, although a bit odd at first, has really helped in not only flexibility but the ability for my body to heal itself. I strained a shoulder muscle last Friday, did the 13 minutes of Yoga at the start of Cardio X (with a light massage from my wife before that), and it has not bothered me since. This was a great workout, and I have it two more times next week in the recovery week.
P90X day 82 (today) was Legs and Back, Ab Ripper X. Legs and Back has always been my worst routine. Maybe it is because of the extra weight…I don’t know. But I always struggle through it and get as winded in it as I do the cardio routines. Today I worked on form and increasing reps and did fairly well, although fairly exhausted.
Ab Ripper was a good run today. I was very tired from the L&B routine, but pushed hard after the first few moves (the ones that work your legs and lower core). I improved on Mason Twists, going to 44 out of the 50 they actually do.
Tomorrow I will do Cardio X again, as I am traveling with my wife today on a one night getaway.
