Morning Ladies -
This morning I did The Firm Complete Body Sculpt. It was an okay workout. I'm trying to take it easy for a few days cuz the instructions for Power 90 Masters says to do a 1-2 week recovery period before starting, so I have opted to just ease up a bit this week. I'm going to do a TLT tomorrow, an easy FitPrime one on Friday and just do some Pilates and stretching on Saturday. Hopefully, I'll be able to stick to this. I consider this a "recovery", although I'm not sure?
I'm starting a P90 Masters rotation Sunday. I'm losely planning on doing one month of all Masters and then a combined P90X with some TJam thrown in. I found a rotation on Videofitness. Then hopefully Cathe's new stuff will be out. I'm sure in a funk and (believe it or not) could use some new stuff to make me feel better. I always want chocolate and to shop when I'm depressed like this. Not good!
Diana Sue - P90 Masters was formulated to be a stepping stone from Power 90 and to get you ready for the next step of P90X. The workouts are very much like P90X, except they are a bit shorter, a bit less intense and the weight work is not split. Also - Tony does stop in between exercises to explain them. I don't find this too big of a problem, as I usually run in place when I don't know the workout and then after I learn it, I just run in place or start doing the moves while he is talking. I even did this with Power 90X....I don't like to stop for breaks, except water occasionally.
THere are a total of 6 DVDS, Sweat 5-6 (cardio), Core Cardio - which is sort of an easier version of Ab Ripper X (is that the name of the ab one in X?) with some cardio moves in between to make a 50 min. workout). Cardio Intervals - 60 min. cardio interval workout with most of the kind of moves in Core Synerg, etc., Sculpt 5-6 a total body weighted workout that has some unique moves, Upper Middle Lower - which is a workout similar to Core Synergestics without the weights. It does ab work, all sorts of pushups and core work. It is considered a resistance workout in the Beachbody Info. The last DVD is Plyo Legs. This is like a slightly easier version of Plyo X. Although, I find I can make these as hard or easy as I want to. I have done them and made them as challenging as P90X and there have been days I modified for an easier workout. That is one of the things I love about them.
So, I guess I would say...yes, you could use them as a maintenance system for P90X. You would have to add on to each workout to make the intensity you desire (I know you!!) You could always do 2 back to back or mix P90 X with Masters or even Cathe with them.
Have great workouts everyone. Sorry I've not been very inspiring lately and have been in this funk.
