P90X Workout Review

The P90X Legs and Back DVD is one of my favorite P90X workouts. Before I started doing P90X I never did any kind of legs or back workout. It was not that I did not want to work those out but never knew how much both of those muscle groups are so important to my everyday fitness. When I use to go to the gym I was that typical guy who did a lot of bench presses, curls, and tricep workouts. I would get on the treadmill every now and then to warm up but I did a lot of arm and chest workouts. Sure, I felt stronger and was in decent shape but no where near the kind of shape I am in now due to P90X. After having great success with P90X I wanted to do more workouts from the Beachbody Company. I was very happy to come across the Beachbody Coach program.

I filmed myself doing the P90X Legs and Back routine after my 90 days with P90X. When I first started I could barely do 15 total chin / pull ups during this routine. While recording this video I did 77 total chin / pull ups. There was one time where I did 82. The rest of this article goes over each exercise shown in the video.

The P90X Legs And Back routine starts out with a set of "Balance Lunges." This is where you put one foot on a chair and do lunges with one leg while trying to balance. You do both of these for 25 reps. After that you get into some "Calf-Raise Squats." Adding weights is the way to go with this workout. Again, 25 reps here. To finish off the first three

Yesterday I started doing P90X for the first time in two weeks. I had taken the time off because I got caught up in a couple of things I was not feeling so good after getting back from a three day bachelor party in Put In Bay, Ohio. The partying and staying on a boat for a couple days messed up my equilibrium pretty bad where I felt like I was still on a boat some three days later. I still ran a couple times and went swimming once but I was just not my normal self. It probably did not help that I did not eat that well while on the trip and of drinking for 8 hours through out the day does not help.

I busted out the P90X Legs and Back dvd yesterday because I felt like it was a good one to get back on track with. The Legs and Back dvd is one of my favorite P90X workouts to do. Once I could do pull ups and chin ups I felt challeneged while doing it. I always enjoy trying to push myself to do more pull ups every time that I do it.

Well, today I am very sore. My legs is what really is sore. I decided to go for a run to help stretch them out and to get a little bit of cardio in. I was almost able to do as many pull ups and chin ups as I normally do but fell short of just a couple. I guess that is not so bad considering I basically did not do anything strenuous over two weeks and still retained some strength. This tells me that the P90X results I have earned can stay there for quite some time as
