Rather than one post per day, I’ve decided that is more informative and less repetitive to have weekly summary posts. So unless there is a new training video, I will work on weekly notes and make updates to previous posts as I uncover more insights from this great workout. This week the workout was harder …

Day 6 – Kempo X
This routine is fun, but may not be intense enough for a strong cardio burn if you engage in a metabolic demanding sports. The host repeats frequently “get into it” and “work your hips” since the tendency on punches and kicks is to just involve the extremities and not the core. If you have some …
Day 5 – Legs and Back
As you know, large muscles need more time to reveal that they have been punished, and so I waited 24 hours to write this review. During the workout… what an incredible burn!?!? This one has lots of lateral movements that punish the inner and outer thighs and so again – my wife loves this one. …
Day 4 – Joga X
Wow, what a great workout! I’ve never done any yoga whatsoever. I thought this was for girls. This is my favorite. Interesting finding though; I look at the video and everyone has beautiful straight lines and tight bodies. I turn and look in the mirror and I see a clown or is it a SLN …
Day 3 – Shoulders & Arms
Another P90X day and a new workout. Good combination, lots of switching dumbells. My Powerblock set is severely inadequate for the time needed to change 5 pounds which was the difference between some exercises. This was impractical. I’m going to get some fixed weight dumbells. This whole routine is based on five trilogies of alternating …
Day 2 – Plyometrics
Updated: Mar-10, 2009 I was eager to hit play today since I’m familiar with the plyometrics. I know of only two sports where plyometrics is core to their training program: Basketball and Volleyball. I won’t hold against the P90X producers that fact that they did not mentioned once volleyball throughout this routine. I’ve come to …
Day 1 – Chest and Back, Ab Ripper
Nov 30, My 1st Day These guys make it look easy. I started out strong… 8 pull ups, 20 push ups. Not bad. What kills is the progression and the short rest interval between sets. I didn’t sweat as much since half way through, I was suffering from extreme muscle fatigue and showering with lactic …
Day 0 – Tony's way or the highway
Timing often sucks. Just when you are resolved to start something and then, whamm, it hits you. You catch a bad cold. I’ve had one since Thanksgiving and, so far, have only played fast-finger on my remote browsing the P90X DVDs. I did my fit test today and worked through the Yoga X. I have …
P90X – The journey begins.
I’m 42 years old, 5’11″ at 169lbs. My journey begins with a promise for 2008… (1) to be in the best shape of my life and (2) I want to win an A level EVP beach volleyball tournament. At my heights and age, this is going to take some physical and mental conjones. So now comes a new test of my competitive will as I get ready for next year. This is the story of my readiness for next year and the 90+ days of training using the P90X program.
