We struggle against ourselves, physically and/or mentally with any exercise. This is my journey.

P90X2 Day #1 - X2 Core

I started P90X2 this morning and my first impression is if I can wake up and have energy in the morning I'm going to love this! A simple note about me is that I am not a morning person, to say the least! However, I'm trying a new pre-workout supplement, N.O. Explode 2.0, that is designed to give me energy to help accomplish my workout goals. It is also designed to get the muscles ready for a vigorous workout.

As for the workout, I was unable to finish the entire workout due to time constraints (I had forgotten to allow more time than the scheduled hour since many of the exercises i needed to pause to make sure my form was correct.) I did get halfway through it and then watched/fast forwarded through the rest so I know what to expect the next time. It is always nice to get some good core work, not just ab work. If you're wondering the difference the core also consists of the entire middle portion of your body, the back, abs, hips and upper legs.

Also some other notes are that I don't have the medicine ball(s), stability ball or foam roller yet. I do plan on picking those things up soon. Overall I enjoyed this and hope to put up my numbers shortly.
