I’m definitely starting to understand the benefit of p90x. While each individual workout hasn’t been particularly challenging (except Ab Ripper X, holy cow that kicked my butt), I think the strength lies in the combination of the workouts. Yesterday (which was day 4 since I’m posting this a day late) was the first day so far that I felt sore the day after the workout. I’m sore in places I didn’t even realize I was working out, like my hip flexors.

Day 4 was Yoga X, which was fun, though I really was really tired of doing plank-updog-downdog by about the 20 minute mark, but after about the 30 minute mark, I hit a point where I was just into it. I cleared my mind and just focused on my breathing and where my body was supposed to be. That’s what yoga is about!

As I look forward to day 5, I’m excited but exhausted. It’s probably just my imagination, but I can already see small changes in my body.

As a side note, my trapeze partner has asked me to take it easy the week of the show so that I can bring my a-game to the performance. Since the show is next week, that means, I’m only doing one week of p90x. After the show is over, I’m going to switch over to p90x classic and start again on week 1.
