P90X Workout Week 4

I'm on week 4 and they call this the week of rest. It's really just a rest from resistance workouts. What's great is I'm on to a new workout! Core Synergistics. It's a tough one. You're going to be working multiple muscle groups at once in a fast paced workout. You do lunges, light weights, push ups, and some interesting exercises like "The Banana" and "Super Man".

I'm sure you're interested in the details of an exercise with a name like that...So here it goes. Basically, you start by laying on your back (Yoga Mat beneath you). and elevate your legs into the air a bit and your arms stretched over your head and up a bit as well. You set yourself up to look like a banana. Now you hold for about 5-10 seconds, then turn to your right side holding your arms and legs in the same position. Hold, for 5-10, and flip over onto your stomach. This time bending the knees a bit and arms angled out and above your head. Finally flip onto your left side. Then Repeat! The name says it all, picture rolling a banana across the floor. This exercise really works everything from the legs to the arms and especially the midsection.
