P90X Core Synergistics is Awesome

I wrote about P90X back in February and March. I did a few weeks worth of the workouts, and they were killers. Ouch. Pain. But also fun, and I like Tony Horton alot.

But I laid off the P90X as I approached my two early season races, as I didn’t want to have toasty muscles for them. Now that those races are done, I do want to incorporate the P90X workouts into my base training plan for the October Halfmax Half Iron race. I have not yet decided how to do that, yet.

My very favorite P90X workout is Core Synergistics. It’s a well rounded total body workout, that focuses on, you guessed it, your core. Specifically – engaging your core while doing other movements. That is exactly what we triathletes are supposed to be doing. I think every triathlete should be doing this workout once or twice a week. You can’t just buy one P90X workout tho, you have to buy the whole set. Unless maybe you could find it on ebay.

Here’s a link to an earlier article I wrote about Core Synergistics.

BTW, I was going to run at lunch at the gym, or do something there, but got tied up at work. I’m kind of glad, because now I have rediscovered this workout. I wonder if I could bring this on a mini DVD player and do it at the gym during lunch, if there are no classes going on in the fitness room. Would that be totally dorky?

A friend of mine (recently turned 50) has "triathlon" on her bucket list. I think she's nuts but, of course, I'm supporting her all the way. I've done P90X twice, but never considered recommending the workouts to her as part of her training. I'm definitely going to send her a link to your blog. Good stuff. Core Synergistic isn't one of my favorite workouts, but I must admit as I get stronger I enjoy it more. Good stuff!
