Round 3 – Days 6-21 and The Outline

So speaking to many people who have done at least one round of P90X they all seem to say the same thing, that once you are finished it’s time to work something else into the program. Most of them cite the hatred of at least one of the P90X DVDs as the main reason the others say its just a fact of variety. Myself, I have chosen Insanity and Fountain of Youth Yoga to help me along. I documented the first 6 days of my 3rd go around and since I have been sticking pretty well to my plan I thought I would outline it here with 2 stipulations.

1. This is not a weekly program. It is not do 6 days on and 1 day off. It is based on your schedule of breaks, do what you can when you can and rest when you must. Although the schedule adheres to the 7 day routine, by now I think we all understand that the schedule must be flexible.
2. It is not set in stone. There are options to do FOYY or any other oddball workouts you feel like on the days you need a change. Some days you know what you need, some days you don’t. If you feel like you could use a break and do a fit test to see where you are with your fitness then go for it.

The Outline below is based on the following:

Week 1 – 4 Phase 1 Regular Cardio
Week 5 – 7 Phase 2 Mixed Cardio
Week 8 – Rest Week
Week 9 – 12 Phase 3 Max Cardio

Week 1 – 4 Phase 1 Regular Cardio

Week 5 – 7 Phase 2 Mixed Cardio

Week 8 – Rest Week

Week 9 – 12 Phase 3 Max Cardio

The last week was the biggest let down for me with P90X since it is actually a rest week. I felt like I had been working towards something for 90 days and deserved a finale so this time around I am going to work out a handful of workouts that will test me for the last week and see what I can do with the new level of fitness I have achieved. For me, this may include a 5K or 10K run and a day of to-failure chinups and pushups and v-snaps. We will have to see but this time around my 90 days will go out with a bang not a whimper.
