Hola, so it is day two and according to the LEAN Program..it is time for CARDIO X. I just want to put it out there that before starting P90X I had lost about 60 pounds on my own (over a course of a year) with good ol' diet and exercise. Granted, that was post baby weight so I got a little bit of a head start once he was born..lol. Point is, I have felt pretty confident with my cardio routine and was skeptical about CARDIO X. I am thinking..this is going to be a piece of cake..nothing gets my heart rate up like my current routine!
Well...I was right...however, pleasantly suprised. While doing the routine I did not feel extremely pumped or feel my heart rate really up there like I normally do with cardio, but I just finished the routine, sat down to type this, and I can definitel FEEL my heart rate up here. It is a good feeling. I can feel it pumpin faster and out of my chest.
Also, I am mildy sore from CORE SYNERGISTICS yesterday but not to the point where I had trouble today with CARDIO X. This routine, again, concentrates on good form initially. It starts out with a few yoga poses that I REALLY LIKED. They were hard, but I felt strong doing them. Then he does a few heart rate raising moves. During the 45 minute routine I was thinking...man my heart rate isn't doing anything, but I darn sure was sweating a lot. I need to invest in a heart rate monitor but it is not in the budget right now.
Overal, I liked it. I think it is a great cardio workout that does what it is supposed to. Will you be pumped and jumping and moving and shaking...eh, not the entire time, but will you feel good..yes? I have heard of another program called INSANITY that many people supplement the cardio portion of P90X for. Apparently that is another hardcore program.
But anyway..I will keep you all posted!
