So that was my answer, and it does make sense to continue the core and balance work already built in X3 so here we go with X2!
I did try 1 and a bit weeks of X2 just before X3 unexpectedly came out and then jumped into X3 so I'm actually quite pleased to see what improvements I see that X3 has done for me
Week 1 X2 Core
I forgot that X2 have very different warmup and includes a few minutes foam rolling - which I love! The sphinx plank on foam roller was a breeze for me and I remember sooo struggling to hold it for the full time before
Its a great workout! A few of the moves I had to watch as usual as I had forgotten many of them
Warrior 3 cross crunch was really easy for me considering how hard Tony makes it sound lol
Single leg walk out to sphinx was much better than I remember.
Core circle I did manage to do this time (I remembered to pump my Stability ball up as hard as I good too which helped)
Holmsen screamer lunges - OMG yes they do make your quads scream!
Med ball Dreya roll - last time I was ecstatic after getting 3 - tonight I did 9 with same 3kg Med ball
How it happened I'm not really sure but wow I'm stoked!!Med ball burpee - couldn't do one before, I managed 6 tonight
Push ups were a little shallow but I still did them!Oh and I nearly forgot - Groiners!
I couldn't do them properly I had to step each movement!
Tonight I went up onto a bit of a fist instead a flat palm to give a little extra room and tried and hey presto I can do Groiners!!
So overall I'm really pleased! I felt in control of the ball tonight instead the ball being in control of me!
X3 has done wonders for me generally in my strength and balance but in terms of prep for X2 ...total magic!
My core is so much stronger and I'm so much stronger - Bring it on!!!
