Let’s start at the very beginning… As Tony is describing the exercise sets, which are sets of 6, he says “Brutal/brutal/brutal/brutal/brutal” (5 times, not 6). I find that funny for some reason.
Some exercise notes:
- Going from sphinx position to a plyo pushup is hard on my shoulders. I have to modify to stay in the game, as Tony says.
- When I did the 4-direction, 1-leg squat hop, it was stumble city!
- I have to work on keeping my hips lower for the Glute Bridge Roll Out using the stability ball
Today I tried using the stability ball (without weights) for the Crawly Crab Press, and did pretty well. It’s a difficult move, rolling on my back from one shoulder to the other, then lifting a shoulder off the ball.
I’m glad I decided to modify the schedule. I can get through this workout in a reasonable amount of time compared to the Total Body and Ab Ripper marathon session (or so it seems).
P90X2 Tip of the Day: I like to split up the main workout and the Ab Ripper. I first read this suggestion on the Beachbody P90X message board, and I’m thankful someone suggested it.
