well i started my 4th week of p90X and it is supposed to be a RECOVERY WEEK??

basically it consists of cardio, yoga, abs, etc. no lifting. My uncle told me that although it is frustrating not to be lifting this week, it is amazing how your body changes during this week. he said he actually saw a lot of definition during this period. I will be posting a pic at the end of this week so you can be the judge.

hope everyone is doing well on their journeys. drop me a comment to let me know how it is going.

started the p90x program this week and man it is great. Really works muscles that you don’t hit when you just do the straight forward lifts. I know a lot of iron heads on here would think it is stupid because you are not lifting a ton of weight, but I am soaking wet after every workout and I typically dont sweat it out htat much normally.

today i did a high intenisty run on the treadmill then the ab ripper X workout that is

The workout itself:
11 exercises–25 reps of each exercise in this order:
In and Outs (picture being in boat pose and moving your legs in and out)
Bicycle-Same as in and outs but with a bicyle movement
Bicycle in reverse
Crunchy Frog- In and outs with your hands out at your sides bringing them in and wrapping your legs close to your chest
Fifer Scissors-lying on your back one leg hovering over the floor, one up and a 90degree angle both feet flexed and changing them scissor style
Hip Rock and Raise-sort of reverse crunches
Pulse-ups/Heels to Heaven-Reverse crunches with straight legs
V-up roll ups-Similar to a teaser
Obliques-side lying lifting legs and shoulder up at same time, kind of an oblique crunch
Leg climbs-lying on back one leg bent, one leg extended rolling up to top
Mason twist-Oblique twists done VERY quickly with legs raised up off the floor

My abs are burning. The leg and back workout I did yesterday has me crippled

There are 23 exercises after a thorough warmup that lasts about 10 minutes and a nice cooldown afterward. Here they are:

1) Balance Lunge
2) Calf Raise Squat
3) Reverse Grip Chin Up
4) Super Skater
5) Wall Squat
6) Wide Front Pull Up
7) Step Back Lunge
8) Alternating Side Lunge

Why is P90X so effective?

The secret behind the P90X system is an advanced training technique called “Muscle Confusion,” which accelerates the results process by constantly introducing new moves and routines so your body never plateaus, and you never get bored! Whether you want to get lean, bulk up, or just plain get ripped, there’s an endless variety of ways to mix and match the routines to keep you motivated the full 90 days and beyond!
