Getting Ready for P90X Round 2
Tomorrow will be the first day of my second round of P90X. In preparation, I did a warm-up workout with Cardio X on Saturday and I did the fit test today. The Yoga segment in Cardio X gave me more trouble this time than it did previously. I didn't really bring it during most Yoga X days last round but I will make more of an effort to really bring it during Yoga X in my second round.
Another thing that I will do differently this round is that I won't ignore X Stretch. During my first round, I took rest days on Sundays instead of doing X Stretch except for the Sunday before the Phase 3 recovery week; my Sundays were pretty much entirely consumed by Discrete Mathematics homework. I felt much less sore after doing X Stretch that night and the next morning than I would usually feel after a rest day. X Stretch is a critical part of P90X and I know that now. I will do X Stretch every Sunday during my second round even if other obstacles get in my way.
As far as the fit test goes, I didn't lose that much progress so I should be able to get back into the grove of things pretty quickly. The biggest drop was for the wall squat test. My day 91 round 1 time was 2 min. 20 sec. but my day 0 round 2 time was 1 min. 41 sec.. For most every other test, I was able to perform just about as well as I did for the day 91 round 1 fit test.
I really hope to have some great progress this round. I will likely write posts periodically about my round 2 experience. There will definitely be posts when I upload progress pictures and videos.
Tomorrow is going to be awesome. BRING IT!
