This was my second (official) time through the X2 Total Body workout. As Tony Horton says, “Pull ups, military presses, bicep curls” and all the rest. It took me a longer time that I would have liked, start to finish (about an hour and 45 minutes).
I briefly tried running upstairs to my pull up bar when it was time, but I went back to the bands for the second set (30 lbs resistance per side). Ever since I began with P90X a couple of years ago, I have wanted to be able to use a pull up bar, but my basement exercise area is not right for it. The ceiling is too low, and I don’t have the right door frame. Maybe sometime I will add a pull up bar in the adjoining garage, which would be a little chilly in the fall and winter, but it might be worth the inconvenience.
I wonder if my calorie burn will increase as I get better at the “balance” part. I found myself going through the motions, party because I was tired and also because I was having difficulty with the moves.
