P90X Cardio X

By Brad Gibala On October 23, 2008 2 Comments

The P90X Cardio X DVD is a workout you will only do a couple times during the 90 days of doing P90X. The first time you see the Cardio X DVD is after the first 3 weeks. Tony Horton gives you one week off to do more of a cardio week. No weights, just a lot of stretching and high intensity cardio workouts. Cardio X is a quick little workout which will get the blood going. It is a great workout to do in the morning or if you just do not feel like going outside or lifting any weights.

Tony Horton will push you in the workout. It is very similar to the Plyometrics workout but you are not jumping around as much. You will be doing a lot of lateral moves and push ups. Some of the exercises are kind of goofy looking but are very beneficial to your health. I like to think of the P90X Cardio X workout as a tune up for Plyometrics. If you cannot do Plyometrics then you need to build up your endurance and strength by doing the P90X Cardio X DVD. This is another great workout to do with friends or a workout partner. If I know that I will be having a sporting event later on that day I will do the P90X Cardio X workout just to get loose and be warmed up before my game later that night. You will not do the Cardio X workout that much during the 90 days you do P90X but you will gain a lot by doing it. You may not get the wash board abs like Tony Horton but you will see big gains in your cardio performance.

Time To Start Doing P90X Cardio X

By Brad Gibala On September 9, 2008 No Comments

I have been sticking with the P90X workout for quite some time now. I think it has been around 9 months now. I have thrown in a couple different workouts along the way such as swimming and running but for the most part I have been following the P90X DVDs to a T. I switch it up and just grab any DVD I want to do at that time and just start getting at it.

I still am building muscle and strength and can definitely feel it when I take a day off or so because I am sore for about two days. Its crazy how your body hurts moretwo days after doing a workout instead of the next day. I am really happy with the results I have earned with P90X.

I went for a run the other day and man did I feel slow. I was barely able to get 3 miles done without stopping. To give you a little background on myself, I completed the Detroit Marathon a couple years ago so running should not be that hard for me. The problem I have found is that with the added muscle I have put on I have became a little bit bulkier. This is not what I wanted. I wanted to be lean and strong, not bulky strong.

What I am going to do is start following a new routine where I only do leg workouts and cardio for the next three weeks so hopefully it will tighten up a couple of my muscles and get me to a weight that I feel comfortable at. The workouts I will be doing more will include plyometrics, running, and swimming. The only P90X DVD I think I am going to do is P90X Legs And Back. It is one of my favorite workouts because I feel it in my whole body the next day and get to work on doing pull-ups and chin ups. When I get down with this workout routine in the next three weeks I should be in pretty good shape for the upcoming snow skiing season and my metabolism should help me burn more calories on a day to day basis.
