Review: P90X One on One Vol. 3 Upper Body X

Posted on April 12, 2011 by Ken

I came home from work today and this disk was in my mailbox. I’ve just been juggling workouts for the past few weeks, so I figured I’d give this one a shot. Upper Body X is really just Chest, Shoulders … Continue reading →

Review: P90X One on One Vol. 3 Shoulders & Arms

Posted on March 21, 2011 by Ken

    So after a painful run-in with an old exercise band, I started up Shoulders & Arms 2. It’s a very slow-paced workout. You do two moves in the same muscle group, and repeat them three times, then move … Continue reading →

Review: P90X+ Total Body

Posted on March 10, 2011 by Ken

P90X+ is supposed to be the “next level” of P90X workouts. I wouldn’t really call them the next level – they are kind of like the next level of Core Synergistics. That said, I think P90X+ gets a bad rap. … Continue reading →

Review: P90X Back & Biceps

Posted on March 3, 2011 by Ken

Back & Biceps is hands-down my favorite P90X workout. It’s the one workout where I find I push myself as hard as I can every time, without having to remind myself to push hard. The breakdown is simple – two … Continue reading →

Review: P90X Chest, Shoulders & Triceps

Posted on February 24, 2011 by Ken

Chest, shoulders and triceps – probably my least favorite upper body workout. It’s old school weights and pushups, but I find myself finishing reps and skipping ahead as quick as I can. Chest: The slow motion push-ups are brutal! There … Continue reading →

Review: P90X One on One Vol. 3 Yoga

Posted on February 17, 2011 by Ken

I’m on my first recovery week. Since I’m not following the program exactly, recovery week = Core Synergistics, Yoga, and Core Synergistics again, while still running increasing distances. I see recovery week as a chance to reset and prepare for … Continue reading →

Review: P90X Legs & Back

Posted on February 12, 2011 by Ken

I hate Legs and Back. It’s not that bad of a workout, but there’s no variety. Sure, there are a lot of squats and calf raises intermingled with a bunch of pull-ups – it’s not the workout itself, it’s the … Continue reading →

Review: P90X Shoulders & Arms

Posted on February 1, 2011 by Ken

Shoulders & Arms isn’t the most dynamic workout in terms of unique and interesting moves, but it makes up for that in a straight forward lifting workout. There is a set pattern of exercises – focusing on shoulders, then biceps, … Continue reading →

Review: Bring It! by Tony Horton

Posted on January 24, 2011 by Ken

I just finished reading Tony Horton’s “Bring It” this evening. When I found out Tony wrote a book, I bought it right away, without really thinking about it. The book was not what I was expecting, and that’s mostly my … Continue reading →

Review: P90X Chest & Back

Posted on January 23, 2011 by Ken

P90X is an integral part of my workout regiment. I’ve completed the basic program twice (as well as used the discs in my own programs dozens of times) and I made it through about 2/3rds of P90X+.  Most of the … Continue reading →
