Off Season Conditioning

BTW while yoga X migh suck, don't skimp on it. It really helps limber you up to get through the rest of the workouts

You are too literal mr evil- I could breathe without hurting but that was about it. A$$ really hurt after Plyo- I have a flight of stairs at work I probably go up and down 15 times a day and it was agony in the early p90x days.

I have a really cool Excel spreadsheet for tracking all of your P90x workouts. If you want a copy PM me your email addy

WaLoaf....glad to hear you are up-ing your game with P90X.

Brian has us doing similar stuff....he follows some web site to mix the workouts every six weeks.

We just started a new routine, except it's the end of the FY and things are crazy, plus the weather plus some travel lately.

One thing Brian added to the mix was three thirty second blasts. Ten seconds rest between each.

Pushups, sit-ups, and a side hop with a reach over with both hands (med ball) to the outside of the foot.

We quickly dropped the time. :>

Box Squats, one legged squats....heavy legs (obviously) but some core and some running as well.

It's a good mix...better if I actually "do" it. Tomorrow! Cardio day....ease into the weekend and hit it hard next week.

Good Luck! See you soon.

Yikes didn't realize that was 1.5 hrs. I was ready to call it after an hour and then they switched to the balance and stretching stuff. I was having a hard time following along. I need to see what they are doing, but some of these poses I can't look at the tv. They should have photos in the book. It'll be better next week now that I know what's coming.

I'm 10lbs heavier than last season. I don't want to have to get a new GS suit ... lol

Yoga X is total bullshit. I know it's good for me I just can't stomach the time. And it's so boring.

I'm pretty much down to this every week:

Mon - Chest & Back
Tue - Plyo
Wed - Shoulders / Arms
Thurs - Run 5miles
Fri - Run 5 miles
Sat - Legs & Back
Sun - off

I pretty much swapped out gym cardio for Yoga and kenpo-- Yoga was too boring and kenpo never got me a good workout. I know, yoga is great for skiing-- but at an hour and a half--- blah blah blah

I thought about going for a walk around the building during lunch, but then I didn't. It's a step in the right direction, right? :lol:

B-Ball twice a week riding at least twice a week, now I need to start working on my core...

 

[Nick]

See now I'm sabatoging myself. I did good all day eating, working out. Now it's on to italian place for dinner and at least a bottle of wine or more.

Screw it, I'll start my diet on Monday :lol:

I'm out of the office all next week.....but when I get back, I can post the routine my pal puts me through.

The nice thing about this "change-up"...it's quick. 5 minutes or so. So you can tuck it in after a lift....something Brian calls a "strong finish". Other "strong finishes" he's included are...rowing as hard as you can till you feel yourself fading.....usually (after the regular wo...around 40 seconds)., or leg presses...I forget how we determine the correct weight, but as many as possible (AMAP) usually in the high 30's but shy of 50.

Brian, always thinking....has given me some ideas I can use while I'm in the field next week.

Jump lunges (lunge position, but jump from one pose to the alternate leg pose).

When that gets too easy :> hold a medicine ball over your head and do the same routine. Once that's mastered.....OMG....add a one-leg "knee-up" after the landing. Great for balance, core, e-centric, etc.

There are pros and cons working out with a former rugby player (now college rugby coach). :>

Hmm.....I think it's time to find a new avatar. Not sure "exactly" how old this pic is....but there's a lot more gray involved. A lot more. :>

I feel pretty good right now. I went running instead of doing the kickboxing stuff this weekend. I workout at night so haven't really started week 2 yet. I'll let you know tomorrow ...

Dynamite stuff by Randy....the fact that anyone can concentrate on their breathing and isolating/focusing the work on specific muscles without messing up with all that crap blasting out of the soundsystem is truly amazing! Some uptempo music is great but all that stuff in the clip...
I am psyched for the noon walk...!
