This was a tough workout. Again I was sweating like crazy at the end and felt like I had been through a meat grinder. The heaviest dumbbell used was only 12 pounds.
Tony said the key to this workout is that virtually every muscle in the body is used for relatively simple moves which is what generates the work resulting in all the sweat. He’s right.
The bad cueing and Tony’s new sort of over the top attempt at humor continue. It’s really too bad that his success resulted in this. He hit it perfectly in P90X and really needs to dial it back if there ever is a P90X3.
At the end of the first week I have come to a conclusion on P90X2. I have been thinking that I should return the DVDs and just do the old P90X. But the new moves are good in the actual workouts. I can ignore the bad acting and cueing. Instead of doing X2 Recovery + Mobility I will substitute the old X-Stretch. Instead of doing X2 Yoga I will substitute real yoga from Rodney Yee or some other yogi.
So, one week down and twelve to go.
