P90X – Day 22 – Yoga X

Recovery Week

I am starting week 4 today which is recovery week. Recovery week is all stretch and cardio workouts with no resistance routines. Unfortunately I was not mentally prepared to do a Yoga routine this morning. It really is surprising the mind set you need for a Yoga X routine.  Especially when you are looking forward to good chest and back workout. However, I did make it through and was happy with my progress.

As I continue to work on my flexibility, I do see myself reaching a tiny bit further each time. I am not wrapping my hand around my ankles in hamstring stretches or anything, but there is improvements. I also picked up a yoga book at the library today to do more research on the poses and additional stretching. The moon poses are still very difficult and I did not get a chance to buy a yoga block. Hopefully the block will help with deeper and more solid holds in different moves.

P90X Thus Far

So here I am, week 4 of P90X. I am proud of the hard work I have put in and the progress I have made. If I want to get the results that I want, I need to get more serious about the diet and push myself harder. Yesterday I picked up another round of supplements and got a container of Casine protein to assist with protein synthesis.
