I once again am a bit tardy on my P90X blogging, my apologies. As I type this up it is day 60, which means I will be taking pictures later today. I am expecting to see some nice changes, so stay tuned. You can see my day 1 and day 30 p90x before and after pictures here. I am one hundred percent convinced that I have improved over the day 30 pictures. I also really need to make these pictures side-by-side. It is kinda hard to see now since you can only see one picture at a time. Sorry! My weight after PHASE II and 8 weeks of p90x is 220 pounds. I am quite happy with that and I should mention my size 36 inch waist pants are falling off and I require a belt now. They were tight before p90x, so thats a great feeling. Now to get back into 34 inch pants. As a recap, I am 6'3" and was 233 pounds when I started. So 13 pounds lost in 8 weeks puts me right about at the expected amount of 1.5 pounds a week. I also have definitely packed on some muscle mass to boot! See all my other P90x blog entries.

P90X Phase II Recap
I know I said I'd redo my favorite and hardest p90x phase II exercises in this post but it really has not changed much so I thought I'd give a Phase One vs Phase II comparison from my perspective now that I have done both. This obviously isn't for p90x recovery week in each phase as they are the same routines.
| P90x Phase I | P90x Phase II | Comments |
| Chest and Back | Chest, Shoulders, Triceps | While the Phase II workout is a more traditional workout of push muscles I like the Phase I workout better. The Phase I is a bit faster paced and for some reason I get a better chest and back workout this way. My guess is less fatigue as I am working just chest and just back and not the complimentery muscles that go with it. |
| Plyometrics | Plyometrics | No dfference between Phase I & II as the previous workout does not focus on legs, which plyo does. |
| Shoulders and Arms | Back and Biceps | These are both really good workouts and love them both. Nothing else to say, except look at the next days workout, because I do feel it impacts that. |
| YogaX | YogaX | This workout is impacted, for me, in Phase I as my shoulders and triceps and biceps are all fatigued and sore still. YogaX has quite a few poses like Downward Dog, Upward Dog and even things like the warrior poses and table poses. I just feel I am fresher and have a better YogaX workout in Phase Two because of this. |
| Legs and Back | Legs and Back | Same workout, and no impact from previous or next day workout in either phase and still one of the hardest and least favorite p90x workouts for me! |
| KenpoX | KenpoX | Same workout in both phases one and two of p90x and still one I really enjoy! |
So there you have a wrap up, I really liked Phase II but I'd say I like Phase I a bit better, just my personal taste. Please do see my next blog post for my day 60 pictures!
