PHASE II
So, this week marks the start of P90X's phase II.
What is exciting is that there are some new DVD's. It's now Chest, Triceps, and Shoulders and Biceps and Back.
Chest and Shoulders:
Ok, the new chest dvd is insane. Not because it is hard to do. Well, it is hard to do in the sense that you are doing crazy things now, like one armed pushups. Just confusing stuff. I sort of miss the rather old-fashioned chest and back dvd. Just keep doing simple moves until you puke.
So, my strongest area has, yet again, been reduced to painful memories because I can barely understand these new moves. We shall see how next week goes.
Biceps and Back:
This DVD also straight out attacks my other strongest physical area, my arms. Damn. Either I lost all my strength or I was that tired that by the end of the workout, I could no longer curl my 40 pound weights, having to stick to the cable and the 20 pounders. Yup, I couldn't do more than 3 pull ups for the final exercise. Again, this is the mystery of P90X: I don't know how my arms and back got that tired, but I am in pain today and I couldn't do my normal weights last night.
Review of the new girls. Meh. So far, no one is beating the yoga girls or the leg girls.
Apparently the phase II diet changes too. I sort of didn't follow phase I to the T, so I regret that. The diet is probably more important that the exercise.
At least tonight, I get to do some nice, relaxing yoga.
