Time To Start Doing P90X Cardio X

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.
