Finally. Day one of P90X2. The new workout program designed by Tony Horton, the creator of the all popular, world famous, often imitated but never replicated P90X workout.
After several bouts of the original P90X workout, I was ready for a brand new bag. X2 would be just that bag. Finally available December 2011, my X2 arrived during my third phase of the original P90X workout. The plan was to finish the original and then start up X2 on Monday 1/30/2012 with my big brousin Brando. Well...today is that day.
Apprehensive, excited, curious, and injured. That is how I rolled into day numero uno. Yes, I somehow strained my neck just three days prior to departing on the S.S. X2.
But it is going to take a lot more than a stiff neck to keep this kid from going on this trip. My bags were packed, I had my passport in hand, and that was that.
I pressed play at 7:30 a.m.
Immediately, the different faces and warm up reminded me I was in strange waters. I didn't have too much time to think about it though. Since everything was new, I had to learn everything before I could do it....and these were some complicated exercises! I quickly found myself out of my comfort zone. The only familiarity I could latch on to was Tony's coaching and chatter. God Bless Tony.
Focusing so closely on the new routine I found the time went by very quick! Without even thinking of it, I discovered I was sweaty and breathing hard. With all the medicine balls and stability balls, and balancing, and foam rolling I ended up feeling fully worked out and also fully aware that I am starting from square one.
Beginning weight day 1: 209.0
