Tony Horton P90X AB Ripper X - Review

Image
AB Ripper X clocks in at 16:07 -  So short workout that can be used as an add on. There are 11 exercises and you are doing each exercise for 25 reps. If you do all the reps, you will end up doing 349 reps. Tony adds in a few bonus reps. I felt the burn on several of the exercises. It was a nice challenge. Tony does his instructor thing. He will start the exercise and then get up to instruct. There is not a warm up, but there is a one minute cool down stretch. Equipment: mat 3 & 3/4 stars

Tony Horton P90X X Stretch - Thoughts

Image
X Stretch clocks in at 57 & 1/2 minutes.  While not my favorite stretch workout, it is a decent one.  The workout included some atypical stretches, that I appreciated, but it also included a lot of the traditional yoga stuff. In fact I wish there was a more vigorous warm up than the typical sun salutations that Tony included. There are over 30 stretch exercises and you are holding the stretches for a minimum of at least 30 seconds but some stretches are held for a much longer time. Tony walks around coaching the class participants after he has demonstrated the stretch.   3 & 1/2 stars

I have had this treadmill since May. Assembly is required. It took me and another about an hour, maybe a little less to put it together. The instructions are fairly detail and everything went together as it should. I had the 2007 model of this treadmill, but I like the advertised upgrades so much I decided to get this one. Pre-Program Work outs The 2011 model comes with 16 Pre-program workouts. Of the 16, 4 are distance, 5 are timed, and 7 are calorie burned workouts. The distance workouts are 1 mile, 5K, 10K, and 1/2 Marathon. The time workouts are 20 min, 25 min, 30 min, 45 min The calorie workouts that are broken down by time are 20 min, 25 min, 30 min, 40 min, 45 min, and two 60 min ...
