I honestly don't know. If your previous doctors/therapists say you have upper and/or lower crossed syndrome, then maybe they 'll suggest rolfing as a possible treatment and refer you to someone. Your insurance may see that as more of an official treatment for a problem, rather than a spa-like luxury. I would think insurance would cover it, if all of this is causing health/physical issues in your life. Unless it's more convenient and still affordable for you, i wouldn't worry too much about drinks of any kind. For the average person it's not going to be the difference between seeing results or recovering or not. Just get good (complex) carbs and lean protein in about an hour to an hour and half before a workout and the same as soon as possible after the workout.
Tomorrow is my rest day. Week two starts on Wednesday. I'm actually quite scared because I have 5 tests in two weeks!
verrry good...still not strong enough to do all the push ups/pull ups in Chest/Back, but I did so many more (with correct form) than I could on Day 1. (i should note that i am also still using the bands anchored to the bar)
The week to week improvements really help to motivate me. I did 8 continuous chin-ups today, which is the most I've ever been able to do (could only do 2 when I started this program).
I was disappointed with Yoga X. Pretty much like a standard Vinyasa class that I've been doing for years. I wasn't tired at all, so I went and ran at Rice afterwards. Otherwise, things have been going pretty smoothly. I ordered some latex resistance bands to do the upperbody workouts, but unfortunately they're not nearly enough weight, and I can't afford adjustable dumbbells just yet, so we'll see what happens.
Anybody do auxillary training to go along with doing P90X? Currently, I'm strictly doing weight lifting/cardio. However, I'm probably going to start getting into P90X when I get back to the states. I can't decide whether or not to do weight lifting for "later in the day" workout or cardio. I'm probably going to do both, with weight lifting serving as my primary addition workout, to go with my main focus of P90X; just to maintain my strength. Beside, it's conventional knowledge you work up a sweat strom anyways doing P90X; so that's basically like doing cardio. Are you guy's using bands or dumbbells for P90X? Do you guys increase weights as you go along? Or just increase the reps you're doing with the same weights?
I meant throughout the week. Something along the line like, 3 days of the week I'll lift weight on the side, and 2 days I'll do cardio. Is that too much?
You could do the cardio on the Chest/Back, Arms/Shoulders, Legs/Back, or stretch day, and lift on the Plyo, Yoga, or Kenpo day. That would be too much for me, but I bet someone with decent fitness could handle it. Plyo kicked my ass today.
Had a quick question: What's needed for it? I've hear resistance bands, pulll up bars etc. Can anyone (within reason) start it? For example I can't do pull ups (I know sad:grin What weight loss can one see while doing?
