Yoga X Review

P90X Yoga X Review When I started P90X, I was almost contemptuous of the Yoga X DVD. “People do yoga to relax,” I thought to myself. “I don't want to relax. P90X is supposed to be extreme.” Sure, the moves were challenging and I totally sucked at most of them, but I chalked it up to the fact that I've always been sorely lacking in coordination, flexibility and balance. After my first couple of clumsy, pratfall-filled Yoga X sessions, I felt like I was wasting my time. I was wrong. My Yoga X review, after the jump. So when I saw that P90X calls for 90 minutes of yoga each week, I was skeptical and less than enthused. And my first time...

The title of this post is called 'Now What?' because what do we do when the excitement is over, when the party is complete, when the vacation has ended?  Ultimately, the answer is, "Get back to work!"

Forearm strength

Question : So if I hang from my pullup bar and let go of one hand and can only hold myself up for a few seconds, I assume that means my forearm strength stinks, correct? Forearm = Grip Finish up your arm workout with three sets of this little number. The Farmers Walk. Wrap a hand towel around each handle of a 50 lb dumbbell. So that they have an oversized handle. Pick them up and walk with them like suitcases until you cant hold them anymore. Take a 30 second breather then do it again. 3 times. That will fix that grip problem. P.S. One of my nicknames at work is "Monkey Grip".... This exercise  is by a Beachbody expert ...
