P90X Day 2 - Plyometrics
Day 2 was Plyometrics. They say that Plyometrics are the X in P90X and I believe them.
This workout was a two day ordeal for me. The official second day I ate support and waited a couple hours to do the workout but it wasn't long enough so I had to stop the workout at the first water break to prevent myself from getting sick. It may have only been around 20 minutes but it felt like I had worked out for an hour straight.
The next day my muscles ached when getting the dogs their breakfast. I was thinking to myself at that point how was I going to be able to even walk if my muscles already hurt after 20 minutes.
I arrived home from work and after feeding the dogs and letting them out I turned on the DVD and started getting busy.
I have to say that it was one of the longest hours of my life. The only hour that lasted longer I think was the last hour of the marathon I ran / walked a few months ago.
I was able to keep pace with the folks in the video for awhile, then at the advice of Tommy Horton I started slowing down and even pausing it for longer breaks.
Towards the end I felt like I was having trouble with my coordination because I was so tired. I did finish the workout.
I am sore today after sitting for awhile but not as sore as I thought I was going to be. I'd like to think it is because I drank a glass of the recovery drink.
Day 3 is Shoulders & Arms & Ab Ripper X. This time I will make sure that I do the Ab Ripper exercises.
One thing that I keep telling myself is to stick with it. Even if I have to pause and do things slower at least I am doing it and it may take longer than 90 days to get to where I want to be, but I will get there.
See you after day 3!
