Phase One Ends With Recovery And Mobility

Today is the end of week 3. That’s right I’ve now been on this journey for a full three weeks (plus a couple of days for skiing, but who’s counting right?) Anyway, I’m happy that phase one ends with recovery and mobility. It’s a great thing to stretch, roll out and give the body a little bit of a break.

I’m looking forward to the “week off” or rather what I’d call the transition week before I hit phase two of the P90X2 tour.

How’s your workout life coming? Are you hitting goals? Do tell.

X2 Recovery + Mobility

Ah the 2nd day off so to speak in the week. Actually it’s a day of stretching out and increasing your range of motion. Something that I’m in need of doing in certain areas of my body. There is one area though where I’m more likely to need some surgery to correct an issue and that’s in my right shoulder. Hopefully X2 Recovery + Mobility will help alleviate that issue.

A ski injury from a few years back that likely went unnoticed. Though occasionally I will find that certain movements of my right arm will induce either weakness or pain in my right shoulder. There is an aspect to the X2 warmups that is exposing a very odd feeling in my right shoulder. I’m betting it’s scar tissue inside the rotator cup from something torn that is limiting the movement.

Either way, another day down and the first week has been put to rest. Looking forward to week two. Where are you?

Recovery + Mobility Or Rest

Wow. I’m waking up this morning after going to sleep last night thinking, it’s not so bad. I wasn’t feeling it last night. However this morning, I’m feeling muscles that I haven’t felt before. Obviously this means that the P90X2 regimen, even after two days, is working me like I’ve never been worked before.

I can understand why they’re giving a day off after two workouts. I’m feeling it a little more than I thought. Not that I wouldn’t be able to do a workout today, but I’m kinda glad there isn’t one.

See ya tomorrow for the next workout. Looking forward to it!
