Dynamix is Dynamite


 

The last day of the week it is an option to take a rest day. If you are feeling good and not hurting too bad, I really recommend you do the Dynamix workout. It is not demanding and is so good for working out the kinks. After a week of P90X3 I was sore all over, not too bad, but I was feeling it. However, I really wanted to explore this DVD so I popped it in and I am glad I did. This is the final workout of the first cycle and it works outs out all your kinks and helps with mobility. It is a recovery workout, giving you a break and not working you too hard. However, I was sweating by the end of it because you do some isometric moves for your core. Dynamix again is all new stuff, and it is based on the latest research about stretching – it is more effective to dynamically stretch your muscles than static stretching alone and that is what this workout teaches you. The cast is great as always. Two people from the test group and an olympic sprinter from England who helped Tony develop this routine.

After the first week, I must say I am really impressed with P90X3. I do hope the next set of workouts will focus a little more on the arms, as I feel that is lacking in these workouts. However, I think I may be wrong about how much my arms were involved, because they are sore after the week, clearly being worked.
