In between ending round 1 of P90X and just after starting round 2, all the P90X+ stuff showed up.
Per my post on the topic, I realized that I needed to basically stop P90X and then start P90X+ to do it properly.
I was already on day 4 of P90X when this occurred to me.
So I decided that rather than finish out this week of P90X (round 2) and then move to P90X+ (round 1,) I was going to turn the remainder of the week into the recovery week which I didn't have between rounds.
I found I really need this, despite the fact that I dislike these rest periods because my motivation sags. My body has taken a pounding of the last couple of weeks and everything has been a chore, so perhaps it's a good thing.
I don't know why, but everything just hurts. A lot.
Update: Duh! I figured out why I hurt much, much more than usual. I just realized that prior to the rest week (week 13,) the shoulders & ams/chest & back routines were not done after week 11. So when I started the next round, that basically amounts to not working these muscle groups intensely for almost 3 weeks AND I upped all the weights on the routines. Idiot. I didn't pace myself properly and start with the last recorded weight.
Last night I did X Stretch instead of Legs & Back which really, really helped. I've got a Chiropractic appointment on Monday which will help finish things up in terms of restorative help.
I'll do either X Stretch and some cardio tomorrow or perhaps Fountain of Youth Yoga.
