P90X Week 1 Day 2

Week 1 Day 2: Plyometrics

My arms were sore last night and I found it hard to fall asleep. However, I was not as sore as I thought I would be. This might be due to the whey protein I'm drinking after my workouts. 

Plyometrics kicked my butt today. Tara D. and Dani and I worked out in the youth room. Justin was SO sweet and got it all set up for us. It was muggy outside and made the room hotter than it already was. We had both fans going!

My legs didn't always do well with the lunges at the end, especially the ones where we had to jump 180 squats. When we did the cool down, cat stretch, I really felt it in my abs.

We ate pizza tonight but I think that I am under 2000 calories definitely and I think my calorie count is 1700 plus I worked out today and Kyle thought Plyo would burn about 400 calories. 

P90X Week 1 Day 1: Bruised Knuckles

I'm ready to start FOR REAL . . . I've done P90X workouts before but never all in a row the way they are supposed to be done. SO . . . here we go.

Week 1 Day 1:  Shoulders & Back + Ab Ripper X

Tara D. and Dani came over and we did the exercises in the back room. We didn't have a chin up bar, so we used bands wrapped around the attic beams. Not a smart idea. I snapped the red resistance band and it bruised my knuckles. 

We used our 5 lb weights to pretend to do pull-ups but Justin said instead of working our backs, we worked our arms . . . not the plan, but we will do better next time.

Ab Ripper X was extreme and I actually did the Mason Twist 20+ times and I was so proud of myself!!!  Then Justin and I went to the gym and I did about an hour of cardio. 20+ on the treadmill with me running for at least 5 minutes on 5.0 and walking 3.0+. 

Then I did 35 minutes on the elliptical and in total, cardio-ed about 3.5 miles!!!
