Stretches throughout the P90X workout...

This may or may not be of any interest to anyone, but if you are going to do the P90X workout and you are playing around with skipping the X-Stretch workout (done every 7 days and/or once every 4-5 weeks), this might help.

If you look at all the warm-up and cool-down and active workout stretches that are done on all 12 discs, there are 54 different stretches.  Most discs include a total of 10-15 stretches total.  X-Stretch has the most at 33 with Yoga second at 19.  Ab Ripper X has the least at 3. 

If you skip X-Stretch, you will miss only 7 out of the 54 stretches each week: Back Hero (neck), Back Up The Car (neck), Camel (back?), Child's Pose with Left and Right Stretch (sides, back, ?), Dreya Forearm Stretch (forearm), Roller (back?), Toe Flexor (foot, angle, calf?).  I actually like all of these stretches, but if I wanted to keep them and didn't like the hour of X-Stretch (which I actually do but you might not), I could probably do them in 10 minutes.

By the way, there are a total of 21 stretches on the other discs that are NOT on X-Stretch...that accounts for about 40% of the total number.

Below is the info in a graphical format (boy was I bored tonight).  If you want it in spreadsheet format, drop me an email or make a comment below.
