Bring It!
Ugh, I hate that saying. So it’s fitting that it’s pretty much the motto of the whole P90X routine. Maybe…no I’m sure, it was created with a dude in mind. A dude that likes to Pump It Up! Not an artsy-fartsy, crafty, designer lady who loves reading Harry Potter and finds inspiration in the quiet of nature. Ah well.
Some of you may be familiar with P90X and it’s funny names for it’s various exercises. Superman Banana and Wacky Jacks readily come to mind. For those that do not know about such things, just visit this site and don’t be scared of the bulging muscles. Don’t worry, that’s not what I’m going for.
I listed the things I liked and disliked in one of my previous posts. I actually missed Monday of this week but that just means I will have to workout on Sunday (the usual day off). P90X is broken up into different phases in which the workouts differ slightly from one phase to the next. This is to promote “muscle confusion” as they call it. Basically, it means: Your body gets used to doing the same exercises over and over, thus the exercises fail to continue being effective. So change it up once in awhile.
Currently I am in Phase 2: Week 3. There are three phases total with each phase being four weeks, with the exception of Phase 3 that has 5 weeks. Soooo, I still have a little ways to go. I’m about half-way done. Ugh.
Tonight, I do “Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps” which is ding-dang impossible. This routine has me doing more push-ups in one workout than I’ve probably done total in my entire life. And not only push-ups, but freaking one arm push-ups that I’ve done a total of 0 in all my attempts. Maybe I’m just not “Bringing It” but no matter how I “Bring It” my arms just can’t seen to handle it.
Tomorrow, Yoga X! I go through phases of loving and hating this workout.
