Which P90X should I do tomorrow?

[sancho]

To try out the P90X, I bought 2 of them used. I have not tried them yet and I think tomorrow will be the day. I have done straight cardio for the past 2 weeks.

Should I do #3 Shoulders and Arms or #8 Core Synergiestics.

Thanks for your input.

Lauren, You'll find that shoulders and arms are similar to Cathe weight work for upper body. Maybe a couple of different moves...and no chest or back in this one. You should keep a notebook handy if you decide on this one so that you can keep up on your weights used as well as your reps. Core Syn is a completely different workout from anything Cathe is doing right now. Light weights are used in places..but this one focuses on core work but while using other parts...It kind of pilates, yoga, and functional fitness all rolled into one video. Both are about an hour...and for me, I happen to really like both of these (not necessarily true of all the P90X).

Thanks for the suggestions. I did S&A today and will follow Laura's suggestions to follow. Thanks. I hate deciding what to do.

I will probably by the P90X and do a rotation.

I find Shoulders and Arms very different from Cathe: some different moves but, more importantly, a different sequencing of moves (circuit rather than straight set) that is much more effective.

S&A is my favorite P90X workout!


As for which one to do: S&H may be more familiar (because it's a weight workout), and might be a friendlier intro to P90X. On the other hand, if you feel ready for a challenge, Core Synergistics is a very different kind of workout that really hits the core. It is both a core workout, and a functional fitness weight workout.

Either way, you can't miss!

Lauren,
Where did you find them used??

Actually I had a post on a site about wanting to try them and someone PM'ed me about being willing to sell some to me.
