P90X Workout Review

Last Wednesday ended my softball season. I played in two seasons. One started back in April and ended in August and the other was a quick 6 week fall league. The first team I played on was a solid team. We played 24 regular season games winning 19 of them. We ended up losing in the playoffs to a team that brought in a "hot bat." It really pissed us off because we played this team six times and none of them hit a ball over our outfielders heads. Then we get to the playoffs and half of them hit the ball to fence. We noticed that they were all using the same bat. We challenged the bat but it was not on the list of illegal bats because it was a new model. It was a bunch of crap to say the least. We finished in second using the same guys the whole season. This same team brought in 4 "ringers" for the playoffs. The league we play on does not do a good job of checking id's or rosters. During the fall league we finished in second in the regular season and in the playoffs. The team we lost to was better than us. They beat us in the regular season and playoffs straight up. It was a fun year of playing softball. Our team was solid up and down and the guys were easy to get a long with.

One of my goals for this year was to hit a home run over the fence. The field I play at is 330 feet down the lines and 390" dead center. Its not a small field by any means. We also play with the "Gold Dot" softballs. They are a little softer than the "Red Dot" softballs so they do

If any of you have been following any of my past posts you will see that I'm a pretty active person. I do a lot of different sports and activities to keep me busy. I play on a men's softball league one night a week with my brother and a few friends. It's a lot of fun and it gives us a chance to get out there and compete. As any guy knows that is out of college your options on playing competitive sports is kind of limited. Your options for the most part are all individual sports where you can enter into tournaments. Softball is one of the only sports old dudes can do without occupying a lot of free time.

Growing up I played baseball through high school and played intramural softball in college for the fraternity I was in. I never was a strong hitter mainly because I could never get into shape. I would say that my best hits were lasers up the middle or over the infielders head. I did by no means have even warning track power. If I got a hold of one it was going to land in the left fielders glove with him not even having to move. Yup, I was that weak.

Over the past 6 months with me doing the P90X workout I have really started to put on some muscle. I have been in shape for the most part from doing a lot of running but my strength was not there. What woke me up about the P90X routine was that it worked on muscles that I had never done before. I had always done chest and arm workouts
