I have been progressing through the P90X program. Not really religiously, I have left out a lot of the aerobics pieces because I get a ton of that in my Tri training, but today was Yoga day.
Tony Horton, the MC on the DVD workouts, (who is absolutely ripped btw) says that the X in P90X is for extreme. Well I say the X in Yoga X is for excruciating. It is a 90 minute workout. I would have to say that for about 60 of those minutes I was in pain. Don’t take that the wrong way. The other 30 weren’t a cake walk, those were just minutes spent falling over and taking a break. At about the 45 minute point I thought, that’s it I’m out, but then he said, ok kids the hard part is over. I thought, oh good, I’ll keep going. Just so you know, he said that again about 3 times in the next 45 minutes. I think I sweat about as much doing Yoga as I had in any of the other workouts. Brutal!
All in all it was a good workout, however, and my muscles felt really stretched. I’m pretty happy with the program!
