- REST!!!
The first time through is rough. Don't get discouraged if your timed runs are slow or if your muscles are fatigued by week's end. No shame in including an extra day of rest or modifying the workout to meet your needs.
Remember to eat properly. It is important to increase your caloric intake during this intense training time.
We always had a P90X Recovery Drink or Whey Protein Smoothie following P90X workouts with weights.
