Day two, Plyometrics!

Plyometrics, the mother of all P90X workouts and if you have completed it you will know it is a kick in the butt!

I completed every exercise and even hung in on the “double time” jumps. I did modify on some of the switch exercises because my knees and feet were not quite loose enough. I have been done with the workout for about 4 hours and my legs are still rubber. But I love the feeling of knowing I completed another day.

For those of you who are in your first week ever doing P90X, I know you are extremely sore. Pace yourself. Do not be a hero your first week. There is no shame in taking the breaks when you need them or modifying the workouts. That doesn’t mean do nothing. That means keep moving and do what you can. You will improve, I am still improving and I have been doing Plyometrics since September!

How is the diet going for you? I know it can be overwhelming at first. But in a few weeks it will be old hat. I try to get my proteins in early. Breakfast can be tricky because I know sometimes when you get up on these cold mornings it hard to get started then we end up having to rush out the door. Here is what works for me: I have a frozen Boca sausage link with a piece of string cheese in a single slice of whole wheat bread and a protein shake in my Magic Bullet blender cup. I can take that with me in the car and it takes a total of 3 minutes to put together. That combination (if you are doing the portion plan) is 2 proteins, 1 diary, & ½ a carb (because 2 slices of whole wheat bread = 1 carb).

I want to hear from you guys. Let me know what you are eating. How are you feeling? Do you have any questions? Again, I am not an expert but I want to help. I also want to see us all improve and complete this thing!

Keep bringing it!
