I <3 Dynamix! Great for recovery and joint mobility
I'm a total P90X dropout--have tried it many times but never got very far. I bought P90X3 when it first came out and didn't stick with it because it seemed odd, I couldn't tell what it was accomplishing. This year, I trained for two half marathons in a row, about 3 months apart. Before the second one, I started doing P90X3. Surprisingly, it had some good moves to help build core strength, develop stability, etc.
Dynamix was the biggest surprise--I'm not a big fan of stretching workouts and it's tough to get myself to do yoga or Pilates or anything other than traditional strength and cardio. But I've done this one SO many times! It's a little bit of strengthening--side planks, leg lifts, etc.--and a lot of joint mobility work. I consider it a recovery or prep workout. I'm doing a 5K tomorrow and did a duathlon last week. Did Dynamix before that one and felt really good. It just seems to really loosen up tight joints.
So, if you're looking for a recovery workout or something to help with joint stabilization, take another look at this one! I'm currently doing a Jillian Michaels Body Revolution rotation, plus training for another duathlon, but am planning to pull out Dynamix whenever I feel I need it.
