P90X2 Day 12: Yoga

Good news and bad news: I did my yoga today, as scheduled… but not all of it. More on that later.

Some exercise-related comments:

I have difficulty with my shoulders in the downward dog position, especially when we do it so much during the single/double/triple My nemesis is still the Warrior 3/Half Moon/Reverse Half Moon/Standing […]

P90X2 Day 11: Balance and Power

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.

Isn’t this an at-home workout?” I laughed at the beginning of some of the P90X workouts, too, where they were in a pre-game huddle or […]

P90X2 Day 8: X2 Core

During the warm up for today’s X2 Core, I tried using my homemade substitute for a foam roller, the 2-liter soda bottle full of water. I guess it works OK in a pinch. I understand the benefits, but I am still skeptical that it’s the best time to do it.

Today I started using my […]
