Bringing it bringing it BRING-ING IT!
Concluding P90X with an intense workout was nice. Instead of the last day of the week being a rest day where I would not do anything but pat myself on the back for a job well done, I blasted myself with some Core Synergistics!
Of course if I was not sick last Tuesday I would be doing basically nothing on this day, but such is fate that I woke up Sunday morning with an hour of abuse ahead of me.
I'm glad it worked out this way. Had a good workout...finished the program with a bang...and i still have time to rest and recover.
It's a beautiful thing. Thanks for a fun 3 months Tony! See you tomorrow...
Huh?

Day 90...YogaX...ROUND 16
Guru status is nothing to sneeze at. It takes a lifetime of training and focus and dedication. Discipline and deprivation.
I have accomplished this in abut 3 months.
Chattaranga boys and girls. Namaste. Thanks for bringing it.

Day 89...Core Synergistics...ROUND 5
It was a bruiser today!
This is the intense workout only rolled out during the misnamed rest and recovery week.
I consider myself fully recovered for the most part from that cold I dealt with this week and attacked core syn with all I had.
I did 11 prison cell push-ups, incorporated weights on the crescent lunges, and did the leg lifts in lateral skaters. All improvements over the past.
I still have one more core syn to go since I had to bank Tuesday's due to illness.

Day 88...StretchX...ROUND 3
Ahhhhh....the rare but lovely stretch routine! What a great treat for the body.
A nice mellow hour of stretching and breathing is something everyone should really do for themselves once and again.
We are days away from completion...that's pretty exciting!

Day 87...KenpoX...ROUND 13
After a few days of being sick, I woke this morning definitely in better shape. After a shower and good breakfast I was on my way to a full recovery.
Other than being a little congested and a lingering cough, I felt near normal. Not full strength but excited that I was on the mend in a major way.
So after a day on the road I slipped into an awesome round of Kenpo. Maybe the best round yet which is appropriate as it is the last round of this routine.
Tomorrow is a stretch day which will allow my body to recover even more before heading into the last three days (core syn, yoga, core syn).

Day 86...Rest...ROUND 13
Yup...out of order. But I am sick as a dog and have no chance of completing the normally scheduled program Core Synergistics. So Sunday and today get switched.
Instead of ending P90X with a rest day I will end it with an intense workout.
That's cool with me.

Day 85...YogaX...ROUND 15
Sick today but pushed through this yoga routine anyway. Was hoping some slow moving and stretching would help move this illness through my system quicker.
Definitely was uncomfortable and had to work harder to get through it. I did feel better afterwards though but that was short lived.
Glad I did the workout none the less. I am almost done with a perfect P90X round so I can't let this illness sideline me.

Day 83...Kenpo...ROUND 12
Woke up not feeling to good. Coming down with something. Feeling the congestion building up in my head. Crappy.
I did my workout, with my driveway sprints and all but I didnt leave it all on the floor. Heart rate was lower than usual so I was definitely dragging compared to other weeks.
I did do the banked AbRipper workout though (thought I would forget huh?). I did it 100% and perfect with a little bonus even for good measure.
So at least I finished strong.

Day 82...Legs and Back... ROUND 10
I hit the proverbiable brick wall today.
All pull up set numbers were down...definitely am ready for a recovery week. I was a little disappointed finishing up my last resistance workout weaker than the week before but I guess my body is telling me something.
Pushed hard through and did the best I could with what I had available. Decided to bank AbRipper for the next day with hopes of a more energetic showing. I mean after all, it is the last AbRipper routine for quite a while and I really wanted it to be on point 100%.

Day 81...YogaX...ROUND 14
I was rather sore from Back and Bicep Wednesday. Was feeling it big time with just about every move.
That's good though...I think that stretching and movement was particularly good for my body and to work through the soreness.
I was pretty happy about the Yoga Belly 7 showing today. I am not saying it was perfection, but it was pretty darn close. Picking it up big time on the boat and half boat sequence.
2 more yogas to go and I am going to be considered a guru!

Day 80...Back and Bicep...ROUND 5
Some pain today! Did my best to heavy up the weights on those curls and I found my limit in a major way.
Form suffered at times...big time set breaks were needed...and no joke, I was moaning and groaning trying to lift 15 poundrpers come the end of the workout.
With only one more resistance day left I am really on the home stretch here. That said I am digging as deep as I possibly can each and every exercise to get the absolute most out of what I have left.
I have turned a corner on AbRipper too, and just in the nick of time! I should be at 100% right on schedule come Friday.

Day 79...Plyo...ROUND 10
Last round of Plyo sad to say....but I can follow up that somber news with the fact that I went out with a HUGE BANG!!!!
I'm waltzing baby!
Double time with Dom on jump knee tucks? Check.
Maximum reps more than Tony and the Kids? Check.
Huge sprint finish on the sports bonus? Check.
I am ready for X2 Plyocide.

Day 78...Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps...ROUND 5
Last showing for this workout and I left it all out there.
Those Slo-mo pushups really stick it to ya even at the tail end of P90X. I still can't do the whole two speed push-ups without dropping to my knees about 2/3rds the way through.
I did do a couple one arm push-ups legit. Got a long way to go before I can lay out 10 of those but that is a nice goal to keep in mind.
I'm getting a little sad that I am almost done with P90X. I am looking forward to X2, don't get me wrong, but I am going to miss the old routines and the kids. I really have no idea when I will revisit P90X again.
