Frustration broke me. Really. Like its predecessor, P90X 2 has a cardio-core move called the Dreya Roll, named for Tony's friend and one the "kids" in P90X videos, Dreya Weber. Her move has you stand straight and then fall back on your gluteus maximus, roll back on your shoulders and then reverse the roll back to your feet. In the original P90X the version of the Dreya Roll allows for the use of your hands to push off the floor to return to an upright position.
Core P90X 2 takes it up a notch. While doing the Dreya Roll you hold a medicine ball, thus your hands are not available to assist in getting back to your feet. I cannot do this version. On the third week, I finally admitted defeat and dropped the ball. My goal was just to get to my feet without using my hands. The modification didn't help. The result remained the same. After several attempts I grew very frustrated and pushed back harder to increase the roll back speed. Still no success. Then I rolled too hard and lost control. I ended up with my full weight on my bent neck. Ouch!
Modify. Take it easy. Exercise another day.
