Tonganterror: P90X Week 3


Week 3

Day 15—Chest & Back—All day, even though I have a cold, I have been eagerly awaiting this workout.  My body is starting to crave the exhaustion that comes from these workouts.  I worked harder tonight than ever before and pulled off a much better performance over last week as indicated by the above pic.


Day16—Plyometrics—Still bringing it.  I am sick, I have a paper due, but I am still doing the workouts every night.  The workouts are a great stress reliever, and sweating out the sickness does wonders for the way I feel afterwards.  I am keeping hydrated and positive.  The workout buddies seem to be doing great…everyone is experiencing dramatic increases in ability on these workouts. 


Day17—Shoulders&Arms—Had a great workout.  I can feel these muscles getting much stronger and I’m able to do more than ever before.


Day18—Yoga X—This is still the killer of all the workouts.  Many of the moves are impossible for me still, but I’m BRINGING IT!  My flexibility is increasing and I am getting better at settling in and relaxing while I attempt these very difficult things.  I noticed after the workout was over, I felt extremely calm and peaceful.  I felt regenerated.


Day19—Legs&Back—For some reason, this workout was extremely hard today.  Maybe because I put more into Yoga than ever.  I was in pain for most of the workout and I didn’t want to do any of it.  I still BROUGHT IT! 


Day20—Kenpo X—I didn’t want to do the workout at all today.  Fortunately, having a buddy, I was forced to maintain the schedule and I feel great.  I am able to work through this workout pretty steadily now.  I am even doing “X” Jumps, which is something I never thought I could do.  I could tell there has been some massive changes in my body so far as I stretched slowly down to the floor and placed the palms of my hands on the floor during the cool down.  P90X is a beautiful thing.


Day21—Rest—Still feeling great.  With 3 weeks down, I feel like I have a new lifestyle.  I look forward to the upcoming recovery week and the new workout schedule.

  1. I totally agree about working out with people. They keep you motivated when you are not and you do the same for them in return. Glad your program is going so well.
