Day 9 P90X rd 2 - Plyometrics 1/29/12
Today is Sunday, and I got to sleep in a bit which was nice. My body seems to be craving a bit more sleep than usual, and I am not getting it during the week. So it was nice to get a bit extra today. My back is feeling a bit tight this morning, in my neck and shoudler area, which is always my problem area. I am just hoping it loosens up before getting into the workouts.
In the past, when I've been working out, it would eventually get so tight that it would just pop like a rubber band, and I woud have stiff neck for months, eventually needing to go to the chiropractor. It is a recurring problem for me. What I found works best, is making sure I stay stretched, do warm up exercies before and after all the workouts, and dont blow them off. They put those warm up adn warm down segments into the DVD for a reason.
My goal going into today was to do better than I had done before. I did just that. It was hard, but I was able to last a bit longer, do a few more reps, do the exerciess a bit better withotu taking breaks. I pushed myself this time much much harder than the first time, and am feeling it as a result. That is the beauty of these workouts, is you can always push yourself a bit harder. I haven't gotten to the point wher I am doing the extra stuff they do on the DVD, but so long as I am imporoving off the week before I am happy. I did not do any breaks this entire day, and that says something.
Hardest exercise on the Plyo dvd - jump knee tucks. Its a mofo
Also - another thing I noticed - Tony Horton refers to 2 different workouts as "the mother of all P90X workouts", the Plyo, and the Chest and Back. then he calls the Jump Knee Tucks the mother of all the exercises - whats with "the mother of..." eeerything. Just something I noticed.
