P90X, Day 73 — Shoulders and Arms & Day 74 — Yoga X
Shoulders and Arms is a straightforward workout focusing on your shoulder, biceps and triceps. There’s nothing fancy here, just you, a chair and a set of dumbbells. I’ve gained a great deal of definition in my arms, especially the triceps. I opt to go with the more reps/less weight method since I’m more interested in getting leaner and not bigger.
When I first started I could barely squeak out 6 or 7 chair dips. Now I can do more than 20. I found this to be one of the more difficult exercises and depending on what your workout looked like before starting P90X, you may too.
During my break, Yoga is one workout I didn’t touch. When I started out today I was feeling very stiff, but about 15 minutes in, I feeling it and back into the routine. Yoga X has a great place in the P90X routine. It’s right after workouts that blast your chest, shoulder and arms and after Plyometrics. It’s a great way to stretch out and get rid of the stiffness and soreness.
So in the extended version of the movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall, there is a yoga scene that was never shown in the theaters. At one point the class goes into a position and the main character Peter shouts out “Bring It.” A reference to P90X, I wonder? P90X is a workout that has been known to have celebrities and athletes unofficially endorse it.
