P90X Day 83
Hello and good morning to you. This morning I slept in till 8 that was nice. I did not go to bed till 3 in the morning due to playing world of warcraft all night. My breakfast today was 2 whole wheat waffles plain 5 strawberries cut up into small pieces spread over my waffles. I had a glass of apple juice and a coffee black. After breakfast my wife started wraping up presents while I drank my coffee. We just hung out and talked while see wraped presents. Now that there all wraped up time to make some room in the closet to store all of them till christmas, we are mostly done already with buying gifts, it was a good thing we did too rather be done now. Then have to go out last minute and deal with all the rushing around. My wife left to go to big lots to just check on a few things there since she hasn’t been there in awile (you all know how much girls like to shop) My A.M. snack was a P90X protein bar, I almost forgot my snack but I wolfed one down before I started yoga. Now I have the house to myself for yoga X. My kids are playing at the neighbors house so I had a very peaceful yoga exp today, I cleared up all the crap in my head today and went for it. My wrist during the chaterages only needed a small shake out today. I felt alot better than my prevois yogas were I lost form due to my wrist acting up. Today on the other hand I was doing all pushups back from downward dog. A coulpe of times boosting right up almost like a spring. My balance postures were much better today also. I held up good straight postures with clean form, when on a few moves if I came out of it, I corrected my form and went right back into the form without losing posture. I tell you what yoga has helped me along my journey, with flexibility, endurance, posture, and my back problem that only once in a great while comes back, then is gone. My crane today was held very nicely I did infact come out of it for about 8 secondes but gathered up and brought it back for the remander of thre time. Table and chair form I reached as much as I could to gain straightness with my form. I did my wheel I raised right up for a few then came out of that cause my form started to drift. During bridge I did much better with my hands behind my back rather than try to do a move that wasn’t going to work for me. I also put up my leg during bridge and fought for my leg to be straight. My flexibility is really improving for me. During corpse pose when I relax I release it all and colapse, clear mind and just about doze off. When I came out of that during my voice hummmmmmmmmmmmmmsssssssssssssssssss. As soon as I was done with those I opened up my eyes and felt great. I did my yoga for the week, I also have the rest of the day to enjoy. Have a good day
Hey man, Ive been checking out your blog. Good work so far! I’m thinking about buying it today.
I was a high school athlete, now in college, and I gained a lot of unwanted weight. I want to get back into great shape, and I hope that this program will take me there.
Keep up the good work man.
Tom, you the man! I finally got P90X, and now just waiting on the accessories. What I have a question on is do I need dumbbells at the beginning, or can I rely on the bands for the first few weeks? Thanks, Tom.

David,
I hear ya, just take a look at my day one pic compared to my most recent pic. P90X totally works! I got P90X at this site along with all my other equipment and monthly nutrition stuff:

David,
I use both the bands and free weights. Honestly I like having both options some exercises are a lot more productive with the bands and some more so with the free weights. If you can swing it, have both around—you won’t regret it!
Hey Tom,
I was thinking of buying this workout, but just didn’t know if it was right for me. I’m a junior in high school, weigh 115 lbs, and am 5?8”. I don’t know if I’m too young or too thin to do it? I really just want to get in better shape, build more muscle, and build my stamina for cross country next year so I can better than I was this year. Will it really work or make a difference in me?
Ben,
Have you ever worked out prior to this? This program requires some previous physical fitness. Some people have gone to the gym for months to get caught up into getting into shape.
But no, you’re not too thin or too small. P90X allows you to adjust your exercises to your own skill level, so if something is too hard, take it down a notch and work up to the next level.
