Lose weight the fun way.

Wow, I didn't realize the original p90x was 90 minutes long! That's a long workout. I did Insanity for a little while. You might like it too. It's a Beachbody workout but with Shaun T instead of Tony. I think the videos were between 30 and 45 minutes for the most part. P90x3 sounds rough! I felt like I was about to die doing Insanity. I didn't have a heart rate monitor then, but I'm sure it would have been off the charts. I just started PiYo this week (yet another Beachbody workout) and it's just like you described Yoga X. Pretty fun so far. Since you're experienced in yoga, do you know of any tips to keep the palms of my hands from hurting during downward dog and plank?

I'm actually planning on doing PiYo after we finish P90x3! :)I was always told in any moves or poses where hands bear weight to make sure all the fingers are intentionally pressed into the floor, especially the thumb and index finger. Something about pressing into the fingers takes excess pressure off of the wrists and neck. Maybe it will take the pressure off your palms, too. :)

Thanks. I'll definitely try that when I do it today. Hopefully it'll help!
