P90X Round 2 Day 23: Core Synergistics

I managed to get seven hours of sleep yesterday, so that's great right? Well, you would think so, but for some reason today I felt dead tired at work today. I was dogging it to make it through the day for the first half of work, but then got some energy after lunch. When I came home, I had some energy from driving and everything so I figured it would be a good idea to go into core synergisitics right away.

A lot of people seem to love Core Synergisitics. I'm not a huge fan. It's just I don't know, very tiring. This is a pretty good workout for the recovery week though, because I think it's good for maintaining muscle. A lot of workouts this week are not very intense, so I agree that this workout is needed for the week. This video is pretty well balanced and includes a variety of moves to hit all of the muscles. My favorite move in this workout is the prison cell pushup. Basically you do a pushup from plank, bring your right knee into your chest, do another pushup, bring your left knee into your chest and jump up into a standing position and repeat. They are an incredible burn and that's perhaps the reason I like this move the best. The most difficult move in this workout is without a doubt the Dreya Roll. It's a crazy kind of roll where you fall on your back and use your abs to pull you back up. Overall, the workout went pretty well today.
