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+ Upper Plus

Posted on March 31, 2011 by Ken

    As I think I mentioned before, I may be one of the few strong supporters of P90X+. Upper Plus is one of my favorite workouts. Since I did two workouts in a hotel room using just the bands, … 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 →
