Good morning!
Today was Plyo X. I didn't know if I was going to be able to work out this morning. I had a bad night's sleep too. I got up at 3:00 a.m. and didn't get back to sleep until 4:30. I was also getting hunger pains so I had to get a snack bar before I could fall asleep again. But I actually had a good workout. I did much better with my trouble jumps - knee tucks and rock star hops. I was able to go double time with the knee tucks.
Gin - Glad to see you still got your workout in. If you have them, you might try putting ankle weights on your wrist to add a pound or two to your weights. I do this all the time. I agree with Deanie, 15# is still real good. I'll be very happy when I can use 15# for biceps.
Deanie - I do like IMAX 1 but I guess it's my least favorite of the three. The hardest interval for me is #10. I can barely get through it. I think Low Max could be an IMAX option for you. I get a really good workout with Low Max. At first I think it's going to be too easy, but then it keeps building with intensity. Thanks for the kind words. And yes, all of the workouts are tough, except maybe for Kenpo (kickboxing) and Stretch X. Even though Plyo X might not be quite as intense as the IMAXes, there are ways to make it much more intense. One of the guys, Dom, jumps like you wouldn't believe. It's like he has springs. I actually like Tony. A lot of people don't like all his chatter but it doesn't bother me. If you don't like it, you can just have music or just cueing. I don't know if you're planning on getting any other P90X DVDs, but in case you are, I wouldn't bother with Cardio X. It's actually just a mishmosh of Plyo X, Kenpo X, Yoga and Core Synergistics. It's for people who want an extra cardio routine (for either Doubles or the Lean Rotation) or who aren't Plyo X ready which I'm sure you are. Have you heard anything about teaching in September yet?
Tracee - Hope you have a good workout.
Have a nice day everyone.
