Some of you might remember that I completed the whole classic P90X program during my summer break of 2011. Well, this summer I completed P90X-2. Yes, number two. Obviously, P90X wasn't crazy enough. I have to say that I REALLY liked it. The three phases are totally different from each other, so you are constantly challenging yourself. Also, there's a lot of emphasis on working your core while working other parts of your body. Brilliant. I can honestly say that P90X-2 has changed my body to be better and stronger. I can actually do like 3 chin-ups in a row without any assistance. I remember having to use a chair in P90X. That doesn't do it for me now. To get my reps up, I've been using a make-shift pull-up assist band out of a regular resistance band. Oh, "girly" push-ups are pretty much a thing of the past. I do push-ups balanced on med balls now. Although, I still can't do plyo push-ups. I'm way too uncoordinated. I can lift more. I'm faster. I have better range of motion. It's wonderful. (Also, it's really great because I get to eat a lot. And food is tasty.) I finished up last week, so this week has been weird. I've just been doing random workouts. I did one of my favorite P90X workouts, Kenpo X. However, I now have to add 5 lb ankle weights and 3 lb dumbbells to get the job done. Which, is crazy... I remember barely making it through that when I first got it... I did my favorite Chalean Extreme workouts, Burn Intervals and Burn It Off. They were okay. I did some Jillian Michaels' workouts. My point being, you can't go backwards after finishing something like P90X-2. Nothing else you've done will give you your workout fix. I got some great advice to "repeat" it. I think I will. Try to dig deeper. Do more reps. All that jazz. However, if someone wants to send me Insanity or even Turbofire, I'd be willing to try them out!
