Tim's P90X2 Journey

Presently Unable To…

In P90X, one of the lines from Tony Horton was, “Don’t say you can’t, say ‘I’m presently unable to…’” That’s a good mindset to have.

With that being said, there are some moves in P90X2 that I am “presently unable to” do. Here they are:

1. Dreya roll (X2 Core)

Even with the help of a medicine ball I am unable to get enough momentum or find the ability to roll up onto my feet. I’ve thought about modifying with one of the bands to help pull me up. I think this move will happen once I lose a little bit more weight.

2. Crunchy Level Pull Up (X2 Total Body)

I still struggle with pull ups. I need the help of a chair every time. This one involves flipping your feet up over your head. I am nervous about ripping my pull up bar off my door frame with this move. I modified the move by hanging from the bar and pulling my knees up to my chest.

3. Over/Under Boat (X2 Balance + Power)

I am unable to do this move because of flexibility. I am “presently unable” to reach the band around my feet. To modify the move, I try and touch my heels in between each boat move. I think decreasing the size of my belly and strengthening my lower back will help me to achieve this move.
