Thursday's Total Body/Cardio -- P90X 10 Minute Workouts

I first tried P90X by checking the set of DVDs out of the library.  I really liked the program because the workouts were divided for cardio, upper body, lower body, yoga, kickboxing etc.   It was not boring at all.


Just a note--these workouts can get pretty intense.  You can always modify and/or bring it down a notch if it gets too crazy.

Today I'm posting two 10 minute workout videos from P90X creator Tony Horton via POPSUGAR.

In the first workout and bonus exercise video a medicine ball is used, but you can use a 5-8 pound dumbbell or kettlebell.

These workouts alternate between strength and cardiovascular exercises--10 total--each done for 1 minute.  You can do the workouts separately, or one after the other for a bigger challenge.

There are a lot of push-ups in this workout--modify if needed--either drop to your knees, or lower your entire body down and then push it up.

Same thing with the plyometric exercises--modify to a lower impact exercise if needed.

There is no warm up or cool down included.  Please do those on your own.


More push ups are done in this second video.


Here's your bonus:
