I am firmly confident when I say that this was the last week I will be stalling for time before continuing on in the battle that is P90X. I feel as if I have fallen so far from my regular routine that it may be difficult to start back into it again, however I will forge ahead. Week 7 will be starting today!
The Week 6.4 update is about as bland as it can get. Rather than doing the typical workouts I’ve adapted so that my ankle can heal, I took the entire week off. I figured rather than lifting weights and continuing to put stress on my ankle I would simply give it a week of just being stress free (aside from walking around, etc). I spent the week stretching and continuing my abdominal development while focusing on my meditation technique and refining it. This has allowed me to recharge my battery and to refocus my energies for the upcoming week that, I think, may be quite difficult.
Now, taking the week off was probably the most heart-wrenching and painful thing I’ve done recently. I’ve only missed 1 of each different type of workout, but it feels like an eternity since I’ve worked out. If you ever have the opportunity to take a week off from all forms of fitness, don’t. Simply reduce your weekly workout to a bare minimum, but don’t stop all things for an entire week. If you are in a body cast with one arm free, do some curls. I kid, of course, but I feel that the sentiment is all the same. Regardless of what you are doing, you are at least doing something! And that is more than nothing at all.
So, if you are relaxing this week, go out for a brisk walk. Go enjoy some time goofing off in the pool. Do some push-ups. This is a lifestyle, not a passing fad. Trust me, you’ll be glad you did!
