Week 2: Modifcations and Adjustments
Week 1 was a tough, yet glorious week that pushed both the mind and body to the limit.
The purpose of week 2 is to make modifications and adjustments that target specific needs while preventing burnout. Our personal adjustments included eliminating 100 m sprints and replacing it with a bonus activity (such as soccer or kayaking).
If struggling with a low energy level, add an extra day of rest and reduce the number of workouts. To battle soreness increase stretching, drink lots of water, and eat a nutritious diet.
Day:
- Chin-up test, 7 mile run (time test 1st 3 miles), P90X Chest & Back DVD
- 10 400m sprints for time, 6 100m sprints, P90X Plyometrics DVD
- P90X Shoulders & Arms DVD, Free Swim, P90X Ab Ripper X DVD
- 4 800m sprints for time, 6 300m sprints for time, P90X Yoga X DVD
- P90X Legs & Back DVD, Free Swim
- P90X Kenpo X DVD, Bonus Activity (Indoor Soccer Game)
- REST!!!
All runs should be timed and recorded. Set a goal for each distance and rep. For example: We strive to complete each 400m sprint in less than 90 seconds.
Remember to enjoy a P90X Recovery Drink or Whey Protein Smoothie following P90X workouts with weights. This will improve muscle gains and prevent fatigue.
