My Thoughts on Core synergistics MC2

This workout is part of the Tony Horton's One one One series. He's getting prepared for his MC2 series that will be coming out this year. Ok. to start out with let me say that I didn't like the first Core Synergistics. It's probably true, the things you need the most you don't like. So I tried part of this workout this morning. It clocks out at an hour and 7 minutes. Unfortunately, I only have 45 minutes each morning, so that's what I did. There is a warm-up, workout and a bonus round. I love the equipment that was used: stability ball, med ball, basketball (optional) and slides (Valslides or gliding disks only used in bonus round). The warm-up is fast and great. (he uses the stability ball). The workout is a good sweaty workout. I think I do like workout better than the first one. There is a quite a bit of stability work, so I really feel like I've worked my lower body, but also the core and yes my upper body. I think I'll throw this in between two cardio days, because it is such a well rounded workout that works your whole body. I'm always looking for another workout to use my medicine ball and my slides so I enjoy the fact that he added lots of equipment into this workout. BUT if you don't have something it is so easy to modify to not use the equipment he is using. I hope you'll try this workout out and let me know what you think. It's available from Beachbody and you can get from my website. http://beachbodycoach.com/lilshortstuff

Last week of P90X

I've made it to the very last week of P90X. Today was Core Synergestics. I still think this is the hardest workout for me. Man does it work your core the whole time. Maybe it's because I always do it the day after yoga. Not sure, but I still can't finish the whole think. Wow! Is it a workout for me.

Week 8 - Recovery Phase

HI - This is suppose to be week 8, my recovery phase. I was, however, lucky enough to borrow the One-on-One series from a co-worker so I've been reviewed these disks and replacing them when it fits.

I tried Fountain of Youth and Patience Hummingbird wonderful replacements for Yoga X. I never have the 90 minutes to do the whole workout in the morning. These two are excellent replacements.

I've also tried Bun Shaper. I just thru this in & it is a favorite. I felt muscles two days later that I know I need to work. That's super.

I also did Core Synergistics for the 2nd time now. I didn't have time to finish it, I had to cut is short to 42 minutes. I didn't feel as bad afterward as I did the first time. It's still a very hard workout for me. I felt a little tight all day yesterday, even a co-worker commented on me walking funny. I guess that means I need to do that one more often.

Today, I'm going to replace Kenpo with Medicine Ball Core Cardio, so I get a chance to try this before I have to return the series.

I'm so torn. I think I actually like the first series the best. So as of today, I put Volume 1 on my wish list, of course this could change when I get done quickly previewing the Volume 2 disks.
