So, we just finished our first phase of P90X and our first recovery week. I understand now what the people on the infomercial meant when they said that they felt more motivated and ready to start again after the recovery week. When I first heard that, I thought, "No way. After a recovery week I'm going to want to quit!"
Guess what?! That is not the case at all. The recovery week is a different type of P90X week. It consists of Yoga twice, Cardio, Core, Stretch and Kenpo. It is focused on stretching and core exercises. We were bored. We both missed the more intense feeling that you get from a "regular" week. We both felt like we were slacking off even though we were still working out!
By the end of the recovery week we were chomping at the bit, ready to get back into P90X. We were more ready to work out and more excited about it than ever before. As our first round of Core progressed in Phase 2, I could feel that my body was stronger and more able to do more of the moves. We pulverized those squat/X presses and smashed our superman/bananas. I felt like a powerhouse by the time we were done! (A very sweaty power house!)
