P90X: Core Synergistics
Core Synergistics is one of the toughest total body workouts (at least, it feels like one!) in the P90X system. It was roughly 1 hour long and focused on strengthening multiple muscle groups to build and support core muscles. I can’t provide too much detail here because I paid for it and I’m sure they wouldn’t want me spilling all of their secrets. But essentially, we worked through a series of lunges, squats, push-ups and abdominal moves until we achieved muscle failure (in other words, I could not eke out another rep because I was wiped).
By the time I was finished, I was covered in sweat and feeling as though I worked as hard as I would on any old cardio machine. That was the best moment for me because I typically don’t feel I’ve gotten enough of a workout without getting on a cardio machine.
Great information. I’m in my first recovery week and this is the workout for today…wow…I thought it was going to be a pretty easy workout in comparison to my first three weeks…I GUESS NOT, lol. Thanks for this post…
I’d have to say…for a “recovery” week…Core Synergistics was a wicked workout, lol. I struggled a bit through some of the exercises, but I know for certain…without the first three weeks…I would’ve passed out quick. Great workout…
