P90X over?

After this weekend, thoughts came into my head about this workout program I was doing. Personally, I like lifting more weights and this workout isn’t that type of thing. Don’t get me wrong there is lifting involved, not just the kind that I am interested in. As for P90X, there are some things I am going to bring into my new workout program. This workout program will be two days a week, that’s lifting wise of course. There will be 3 days that are devoted to abs and 3-4 days that I will do cardio exercises.

In the new workout, from P90X, I am bringing AB RIPPER X. This is my favorite ab workout. I see it working and its fun to do, not. I fucking hate it but it works so I will stick to it. As for the lifting, I am combining 2 days of full body exercises. The fully body exercises will hit more then one muscle group at a time, this will reduce the amount of time I am in a gym giving me a quick fat burning workout. As for the other days, I will simply do cardio by running long distance, sprints or c25k with my girlfriend.

Since the last time I talked though about my working out, I completed the legs and back portion of P90X. Wow is all I can say. The leg workout on this disk was incredible. I woke up the next morning aching in pain. That’s when you know that it was a good workout. There were a number of different leg exercises that were quick, explosive and made you really feel the burn. The exercises were probably even better then half of the lifting ones I do in the gym. The thing I like about these types of leg workouts is that they will tone your legs instead of making them husky. When you lift legs in the gym, it increases the size a lot more and causing problems like I have now not fitting into jeans properly.

For the whole weekend my legs have been that sore. When I lift in the gym, doing my legs of course, they don’t hurt for more then 2 days after because I stretch really well, but this workout I still feel the pain as I am writing this.

Tonight I worked out in my last day for that old workout. I did interval training tonight with my girlfriend. She does this program c25k which basically is for people who aren’t used to running and helps them progress in a program that will eventually have them running a 5k or a 3 mile run, same thing. I like this type of cardio because it is fat burning and helps you work up a mean sweat.

Now this week, starting tomorrow I will start this new workout. Hopefully I can stick to this one because I am picky about my workouts.
