So, today was my first experience with Plyometrics X. Wowza. In case you didn’t know, Plyometrics is jumping. Lots of jumping and squatting. I managed to work up quite a sweat today unlike yesterday. I made it through the entire workout and even did the “bonus round” but it was definitely a struggle. From what I can remember, this workout has three rounds, with each round repeating two sets of the same exercise. Some of the exercises were more difficult than others. One of the guys (Scott?) doing the workout has a prosthetic leg and Tony tells us we have no excuses, but I almost wonder if this workout would be easier with a bionic leg??
Right now my thighs feel a little rubbery, and my back is still a little sore from yesterday. According to my husband I won’t be able to walk up and down the stairs when I wake up tomorrow. I’ll look forward to that.
I did pretty good on my calories today. I really need to start counting them more closely like I did throughout November and December. But now I have a better handle on serving sizes. Today I ate some pretzels, a couple slices of oven-roasted turkey, carrots, two black bean turkey burgers topped with diced avocados, salsa and corn, two Andes mints, a clementine, and lots of water. Those turkey burgers were really good, I’ll try to remember to get the recipe posted. I have to admit I’m not following the P90X Nutrition Plan very closely. And I think most people will tell me I’m not eating enough calories . . . but I didn’t have any problems today.
See ya tomorrow.
