Day 22: Week 4 is Recovery Week?

I've survived three weeks of P90X and am ready to start my first recovery week. Recovery week is somewhat of a misnomer because from what I hear, recovery weeks are even harder. This week includes the following workouts:

• 2 Yoga X's (so far my most difficult workout)
• 2 Core Synergistics (I haven't tried this one yet but I hear it's  tough as hell)
• 2 Stretching X's (anything involving flexibility kills me)
• 1 Kenpo X (the only easy workout of the week)

The purpose of the recovery week is to generate muscle confusion and prevent plateauing. I hope it works because I exercise very hard and very often but only get modest results. Although, my initial transformation when I started working out was quite dramatic, my recent improvements have slowed to a crawl. I'm really hoping P90X takes me to the next level. I want to get ripped. I want results.

I started my morning with the dreaded Yoga X workout. I am making small improvements but this 90 minute workout is still very difficult for me. However, Yoga X is probably the most beneficial of all the workouts for me. I did finally decide to give the ohms and brief meditation at the end of the workout a try. Tony Horton claims it massages your central nervous system. The ohms just freaked out my cats and made me cough.
