p90x week 4. Relaxation week?
March 17, 2008
Today marks the first “rest” week. In the exercise manual there is a disclaimer at the beginning of week 4. It says week 4 is meant to relax your muscles, unless your midsection is out of shape and then it could possibly be harder than the previous 4 weeks. I’m thinking that the previous three weeks haven’t been too bad other than the days I do ab ripper x, my mid section is my week link. So this week is going to be quite the experience.
Today is Yoga X day. I’m at a conference all day in Salt Lake so I’ll be doing this late tonight.
Week 3 Recap: I’m ready to step up the arms and shoulder game. I feel like my legs are getting in better shape and that my whole body is slimming down. I would like to start adding some size to my arms and shoulders now. I’m going to do an official weigh in on Wednesday and take ‘rest’ week photos. I’ll try and post photos by Wednesday.
How is everyone else doing? By week 4 were you dead tired, or did you feel energized like I did?

Recovery week.
I felt dog tired the first two weeks and then good from there on.

I am a couple of days into week 3 now, and I’m digging the flow of things. I like all the strength training, because I had very little of that before, and certainly not to this intensity. My concern is having to do yogax twice in the recovery week. I like how it changes things up in the regular weeks, but the thought of double duty scares me. Did you find that you benefited from your recovery week?

Just began week 3. I’m 5′8″, 165 and in pretty good shape.
My first week and 1/2 was thoroughly energizing, but since then I feel I’m crashing on the high protein diet. My workouts are 50/50…e.g. I’m doing more for some exercises, but unable to match last week in others. My arms gave out during chest/back earlier than I expected, and I can’t do sh*t for pullups after the first 1/2 hr.
A few times, I just paused the vid to give my arms a little extra break, cuz this is one hell of a long circuit. But I still had to do pullups with a chair. Makes me miss good ol’ high-intensity training, but I’m glad this is increasing my endurance, burning fat and improving overall health. Looking forward to some carbs.
