P90X Part Deux

Pre-orders of the P90X, the sequel to Tony Horton's extreme home workout program, have shipped. Fitness fanatics all over have unpacked the long anticipated package. Like others, I interrupted my regularly scheduled routine to get a glimpse of Horton's latest series of extreme workouts. I tore into the box like a child with a birthday gift. Having no concerns for instructions or warnings (and we all know this method rarely works well). I inserted the first disk, X2 Core, and when to work. An hour later, I felt sore, but not nearly as much I felt humiliated.

At this point I bothered to read the information booklet. On the very first page the CEO of the company notes that the exercises are difficult and are likely to cause a little ego bruising. Indeed! If you are considering this program, I encourage you to try the original P90X first. Not only will it get you physically ready, but you will find if Tony Horton's style is a good match for you.

In P90X2 Balance is the key. Learn from my mistakes, watch the videos first. Also, don't try to over do on the first round. I didn't follow the advice I'm giving now and have two knots on my head, a stiff neck, tight muscles all over and even a sore nose (I hit myself with an 8 lbs medicine ball mid exercise-not pretty). This was where it hurt physically and psychologically.

Bring It!
