#P90X Days 48 & 49: A recap

DAY 48: Legs & Back Legs & Back was good. This time I used resistance bands instead of my Iron Gym. It was quite a difference. Each pullup, even with all three bands in use, was easier than using the Iron Gym, but I was able to hold each movement at the top (or bottom, as the case may be) and I was able to aggressively work the middle muscles in my back moreso than I ever have before. In that light, I’ [Continue...]

#P90X Day 42: X Stretch Armstrong!

Check her out! It's 'Baby Downward Dog'. This morning, the stretch was just what the doctor ordered. I was uber sore from Legs & Back still — which I didn’t mind a bit, but wanted to get a good stretch in, hoping that by tomorrow’s Chest, Shoulders & Triceps I’d be refreshed and ready for action.

Back Hero: Good for the quads. Good for the soul. Ever have those days where just moving feels like you’re just wading through quick sand? This morning was the start of just such a day. I got up at 4:45 feeling like I got no sleep. I fell asleep at 11:00pm and it seemed like just moments later I was waking up. It went by that fast, however I felt like I must have been wide awake the entire time and just don&# [Continue...]

#P90X Day 25: X Stretch

X-Stretch: I'm so much more flexible than this girl. Like, totally. With my left hamstring still sore, this stretch was a godsend. I really focused on my breathing, just like Tony & Co encourage. It felt good to recognize how I am actually becoming more limber in some areas, like my arms and my back. I’m able to bend in ways that I wasn’t able to in the recent past, and that’s progress peo [Continue...]
