The normal P90X program, lean or classic, goes like this.
Phase I, 3 weeks hard workouts. 1 week recovery.
Phase II, 3 weeks hard workouts. 1 week recovery.
Phase III, 4 weeks hard workouts. 1 week recovery.
This is what mine has been so far.
Phase I, 3 weeks hard Lean workouts. 1 week recovery.
Phase II, 1 week hard Lean workouts. 3 weeks hard Classic workouts. No recovery.
Phase III, 2 weeks hard Classic workouts. RECOVERY.
I am going to come back from RECOVERY and finish Phase III, with 3 weeks hard Classic and then final recovery.
I have basically added two weeks to the program but have gone 6 weeks straight with no recovery.
I feel fine. Really.
I just feel like this recovery week coming up next week is very welcome and very needed. I think my Beachbody Coaches will agree.
This week I made some upgrades to the Chest and Shoulders routine. I got myself a 40 lb dumbbell as an upgrade to the 30's I was using. That's for the lawnmowers etc. I also got another 100 lb band to go from 100 to 200 total lbs on the bands. So my bands for pullups are now up to 200 lbs. I WILL get to full pullup ability. I do the pullups on my knees and then as I pull, the resistance is so heavy I am now pulling my body weight off the floor to counter it. I am actually doing many sets with the same weight as the best P90X cast members.
I will say this...I am working this stuff harder than any physical fitness routine in my life. I show up every day. I push play. I work til I drop. I'm watching my nutrition very carefully. Results are happening. No joke, it works. Also, it can work at fifty years old. I started losing weight when I was forty six. I started P90X at fifty. I started it...it can change your life. If you want to. Good night!
