#Dynamix p90x3 series#

What makes P90X3 unique is that every workout is 30 minutes and that my friends, is just sweet for a guy like me who has 4 kids and pet quail ( it’s complicated ).

#Dynamix p90x3 series#

As most know, I’m a huge fan of the P90X series so the second this became available I went online and demanded Beachbody take my money. Because, foam rolling is a very individualized process, where the areas you need to focus on are different each time, so following along with 20 minutes of foam rolling in Recovery & Mobility is kind of pointless, unless you just like having Tony Horton talking in the background.Wait…I have to review another workout series? So soon? Yes, before you know it another package has shown up on my doorstep and this time it is Tony Horton’s P90X3. P90X2’s Recovery & Mobility, on the other hand is very foam roller focused, which I love, but this is also a great way to recover and in fact, in the future I see myself simply adding a bit of foam rolling to Dynamix and making it my go to recovery workout.

X Stretch from P90X was all about static stretches, while this is all about stretching through movement, which is the preferred way to recover these days. It is a very different type of recovery workout, in comparison to previous Tony Horton’s programs.

There is also a Side Banana and Superman move in this section, to make sure that all sides of your core are involved. There are also some core moves/stretches thrown in this section, such as the Fifer Scissor Stretch, these are like Fifer Scissors from P90X’s Ab Ripper X, except you grab the leg at the top with both hands and pull on it twice to stretch it out. I also really enjoyed the Spinal Twist, which was heaven for my back. There are a couple great stretches in this section like the Glute Rocker, which is just like the crossed legged glute stretch from P90X, except you roll back and forth in the position. The final section of Dynamix has you lying on your back. There are also some Front to Back Lunges thrown in for strength work as well. This section really stretches out your lower body, including some of the P90X3 warm-up moves like Double Knee Pulls and Double Quad Stretch.

There are 8 exercises total and unlike the previous section you hit both sides at once, so there is no repeating. The next set of exercises have you in a standing position. There are some familiar moves in this section, especially from P90X2, including Scorpions, Groiners, Pigeons and Lunge (Spider) Push-Ups. There are seven moves in total, which you do in a row on one side and then repeat them all again on the other. The next set of moves start with you down on your stomach, but a couple of them have you up on your knees as well. During the moves where you have one leg in the air, make sure you point the heel of your foot to the sky, which makes them so much more effective. After hitting the left side we then flip over and repeat the same 4 exercises on the right. While, on your side we do four moves, each of which are 30 seconds long, including Leg Lifts and Forearm Side Plank. Just a quick note, please make sure you are using a yoga mat or something to cushion yourself during this workout. The workout itself starts with you lying on your left side. While, I still believe the foam rolling in P90X2 is the king of recovery, these isometric and dynamic workouts also do a great job and require no extra equipment. Having Dynamix the day after Isometrix is brilliant scheduling, because the two of them work so well together. Where, that workout had you hold static poses to recover your body, this one aids recovery through dynamic movement. This workout is the opposite side of the coin compared to Isometrix. But, day 23 during P90X3’s transitional week is the first time it is required, so here I am. This workout is on the schedule, as an optional recovery workout, at the end of every single week. Since, I have been too lazy thus far, today was my first time trying the Dynamix workout.
