It is recommended that women do about 12 to 15 of each of these, but in general, everyone should do as many as they can. Outlined below, I’ve provided the push ups, shoulder exercises, and tricep exercises the DVD includes, how much I enjoyed them and their level of difficulty on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the most difficult and/or awkward to perform. She smiles and doesn’t look like she is in pain the whole time. Although I believe she is more Superwoman than Humanwoman, it would be much more motivating to have someone like Dreya (on the Ab Ripper X and Core Synergistics DVDs) do the workout.
Further, she never smiles and looks completely unhappy. Throughout the entire DVD, the woman (I did not catch her name) barely makes it through the push ups. And, although this may sound catty, I think that Beach Body could have afforded to choose a different woman for this DVD (there is always at least one woman on the P90X workout DVDs). Is a matter of fact, one of the men on the workout DVD did go down to their knees for a couple of the chest workouts. I’d even go so far as to say that some men need to too. When doing strength training for my chest, I do bench presses (standard, incline and decline) and flys, which allows me to do more reps.ĭuring the Chest, Shoulders and Triceps workout of P90X, you have no choice but to recruit your knees for assistance. I like to think I’m strong enough without needing “knee assistance.” Secondly, I can’t do many reps.
First off, women, especially, have to recruit their knees for assistance and there is something about that kills me. As you probably already know, I hate push ups. During the Chest, Shoulders and Triceps DVD, however, you do an equal ratio of chest moves, shoulder exercises and tricep exercises…with many of the shoulder exercises and tricep exercises recruiting the chest muscles as well. This gives you a bit of a rest between push ups. As you know, in that program you conduct two back exercises for every chest exercise.
This program made me long for the first Phase’s Chest and Back DVD. That said, the fifth week started out with a real bang with the P90X Chest, Shoulders and Triceps program. It was nice to have a “recovery week” at the end of the first block. Last week, I started my second “block” or phase of P90X.
