P90X, Day 85 — Yoga X

Posted on November 1, 2009 by The Average Joe

Ashtanga YogaIt always seems that peo­ple talk about what yoga can do for the mind as well as the body. I’m not com­pletely sold on that, yet. But after today I’m def­i­nitely think­ing more about it.

The past few weeks at work have been unbe­liev­ably busy and stress­ful. But Fri­day of last week I was so men­tally fatigued and still felt it yes­ter­day But after doing the Yoga X rou­tine this morn­ing my mind feels so much more relaxed.

Now that could be com­pletely coin­ci­den­tal, but def­i­nitely worth think­ing about.

P90X, Day 84 — Core Synergistics

Posted on October 31, 2009 by The Average Joe

P90X Core Synergistics on HalloweenChoco­late has to be one of my biggest weak­nesses. I’ve always had a sweet tooth and choco­late can quickly get me into trou­ble. Today being Hal­loween it’s been tak­ing a good deal of will power not to dive into the candy that’ll be given out to trick or treaters. Have I had a piece or two? Yep, I’m not going to com­pletely deprive myself. But I have to make sure that one or two pieces doesn’t become more than that.

Core Syn­er­gis­tics was the work­out du jour.

Maybe for Hal­loween I should have gone with a P90X costume.

P90X, Day 82 — Yoga X

Posted on October 29, 2009 by The Average Joe

Vinyasa Yoga P90XThere’s noth­ing like Yoga X in the morn­ing. It gives me such a huge burst of energy that just seems to last the whole day. Soon after start­ing the work­out the grog­gi­ness and tired­ness is gone. One of the rea­sons I like work­ing out in the morn­ing is the energy that is a result.

Yoga X is a bit dif­fer­ent too. It seems like my mind is clearer as well after I’m fin­ished. Yoga X also has a great spot on the P90X rou­tine lineup com­ing after chest, arm, shoul­der rou­tines and Ply­o­met­rics. If your feel­ing stiff and sore after those this work­out will help get rid of it.

P90X, Day 81 — Back and Biceps

Posted on October 28, 2009 by The Average Joe

P90X Back and BicepsBack and Biceps just blasts my arms and as I’m writ­ing this my arms are still a bit sore.

As I’m near­ing the end of this round of P90X, I’ve been look­ing over my work­out sheet and com­par­ing my reps and weight from the begin­ning with what I’m doing now. I’m look­ing at a great increase in both the reps and the weight. Def­i­nitely a larger improve­ment in reps over weight since my goal is a leaner look and not bulk. I’m keep­ing this work­out sheet and look­ing for­ward to com­par­ing Day 1 and Day 180.

Posted on October 27, 2009 by The Average Joe

This is prob­a­bly the busiest time of the year where I work, but most days I’m able to get my morn­ing work­out in. How­ever not today. I needed to be in the office pretty early, so I’m tak­ing a rest day today. See you tomorrow.
