I'm a relatively consistent crossfitter/P90x-er. I'm not a fundamentalist/legalist when it comes to these workouts, so I don't really do everything exactly as prescribed or when prescribed, but I have followed Tony Horton fairly consistently (at leas the workouts--screw the diet; eating "whey" is for commies) through a couple of almost 90 day sessions. I almost never do Kenpo. I rarely do the entire YogaX workout. But I like the program and the workouts work.
I started attempting some of the named crossfit workouts last summer and fell in love the high intensity of crossfit. I've never fallen in love with Olympic lifting, mostly because Olympic lifting and I haven't really had a first date. Nor do I have the equipment at home to do them.
I know crossfit is designed to be done as a community, but my problem is the crossfitters at BC crossfit right when I'm playing basketball, and the reason I would do crossfit is to maximize my enjoyment of basketball, not because I have some desire to become a superstar at the crossfit games. Excuses aside, I actually enjoy working out alone.
All that to say I did the P90x chest and back workout plus ab ripper x this morning. I wonder if I've done this particular workout fifty times yet? I wouldn't be surprised. I did it for the first time back in August of 2007. I bet I've done it at least a dozen times a year since then. If you follow the 90-day program you do this workout five times in 90 days. I have not been through the 90 day program ten times, of course, but this is probably one of my favorite of the routines, thus my wondering about the 50 times in a little less than five years.
So what does tomorrow hold? Were I following the 90-day program, tomorrow would be Plyometrics. It's a great workout. But I think I'm going to to a 15 minute interval set on the jump-rope and maybe some yoga and then shoot some hoops. Maybe watch an episode of the X-Files on dvr while riding the stationary bike.
See--not a legalist.
