Round 3 / Day 22: P90X+ Total Body Plus + Abs / Core Plus

It was great to wake up in my own bed, and I was excited to try out a new workout this morning: P90X+ Total Body Plus.

After the jump: 21 new exercises...

Round 2 / Day 22: P90X Chest, Shoulders & Triceps + Ab Ripper X

The great thing about ignoring Tony* and just ripping through all the moves in both of these workouts? I shaved off more than 15 minutes from my morning routine.

The not-so-great thing? Getting through all the moves while minimizing and/or skipping rest breaks is crazy-tough. I was exhausted near the end of the hour, and had trouble with my last few reps of each exercise -- even those I normally find easy.

Still, I highly recommend trying to finish Ab Ripper X without breaks. It takes about 12 minutes, and it's a killer.

*Actually, while I tried to tune out Tony completely, I couldn't help but notice (again) that he keeps calling Dave the Substitute Teacher "Adam" and "Sean." Isn't exercise supposed to stave off senility?

P90X Day 22: Yoga X

Believe it or not, I actually enjoyed Yoga X this morning -- my poses are much improved, and I'm now able to hold Twisting Half-Moon (albeit with the help of a yoga block) without crashing to the ground.



My short-term Yoga X goal: Stay in Crane for 60 seconds with no toe-touches by Day 45. (During today's Crane attempt, my right toe touched down four times, but only for a second each time, which got me more excited about Yoga X than Tony's screaming ever will.)

[UPDATE: Goal achieved!]
