May 2021 Workout Rotation - What I Did

   May 2021 Workouts

Workouts for May mostly consisted of treadmill runs/walks and Jessica Smith Walk Strong Series of Workouts.  I had a mini-vacation this month, so there were more rest days or days in which I did not workout than I normally like.

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

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

The first 45 minutes or so of the workout are Vinyasas.  Lots of them. You are executing other Yoga moves as well but the transition to get you into that yoga move is the Vinyasa. The second half of the work is Balance Postures and Floor Work. I like this section the best. Most postures and stretches you are holding for 30 to 60 seconds. Although a couple are held for up to 90 seconds. The last segment of the workout concentrates on the abs and relaxing postures to include the Lotus Meditation Pose. Besides Tony, there are 4 other cast members.  Tony will start the exercise and then he would stop to coach - walking around to the different cast members. A mat and yoga block are used in this workout. Other than being too long, I thought this workout was okay. 3 & ...
