P90X2 Day 16: Plyocide

I wasn’t sure if today’s workout was going to turn out so well. First of all, I got four and half hours of sleep last night. Second, the previous night’s sleep wasn’t so great, either. I decided to “do my best and forget the rest” anyway, because there is a “Recovery and Mobility” day tomorrow.

P90X2 Day 15: X2 Core

Today I decided to do a little more foam rolling (my soda bottle variation). If you can’t beat ’em… It really does take time to do it right.

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.

Some exercise notes:

Going from sphinx position to a plyo pushup is hard on my shoulders. I have to modify to stay in […]
