Day 37: Plyometrics

I always look forward to plyo days! Although today, I was a tad sluggish, probably because I didn't sleep well and had to get up early to face a hellish final. Either way, I still got through plyo and love it. How awesome would it be for Tony to make another plyo DVD? I love that idea!

One move, however, doesn't do anything for me. That would be the Gap Jumping. I just feel like I'm flailing about in my living room and it's a waste of 30 seconds.

Day 30: Plyometrics

Hey, it's Day 30! Time flew right by. I took measurements and pictures. I wasn't expecting any change because I've been eating out everyday and sometimes twice a day, and eating/snacking on candies and chocolates. I haven't gained or lost anything in regards to my measurements. My body fat has dropped 2.1%. So, if you want to do P90X and eat anything you want, you won't gain weight. ;) haha.

I also took pictures, but I won't post them because the only difference you can see is when I flex my biceps. I have more definition in them! Yay!

Well, I'm a bit sore from yesterday, mainly on the sides of my pecs and lats where they attach to my arms, thanks to all of those crazy push-ups. But still, it's no where close to the first week of P90X, where you're so sore you can't move.

I love plyo. It was a little tough getting back into it, since I didn't do a whole lot last week. But it still went well, and modified some moves to make them harder. I think the worst of today was doing the ballistic stretches at the end...I didn't realize how sore my arms were from yesterday!

Day 16: Plyometrics

Another not so great day workout-wise. I skipped the gym again to sleep in. I really felt like I needed another day to do that. But I will go tomorrow.

Plyo was bad for me as well. I felt so drained and exhausted, even during the first set of exercises. I took a bunch of breaks. I'm guessing a lot of things are weighing on me and it's affecting my workouts. I should have learned by now that med school does that to you.

I'm a little sore in my arms and back, which shows that the resistance bands pushed me a bit further. Me likey.

Day 9: Plyometrics

I love plyo! Love it. I'm thinking this is my favorite workout. Again, this time around was easier. I took less breaks than I did last week. But I still got my sweat on and my face was flushed afterwards. I feel great! The best part of the video is the very end when the exercises are more sports-specific. There were certain moves I took slightly easier, like the Mary Katherine lunges, because I had noticed that my right hamstring was in some pain when I had it stretched. After I was done with plyo, I took a shower, and, as I was shaving my legs (TMI?), I saw a bruise on my right hamstring about 2 inches in diameter. That would explain the pain I had felt!

In addition to P90X, I've been hitting the new wellness center my school has built to do some running on the treadmill and use machines. The machines I use are specific to what P90X has scheduled for me that day. For instance, yesterday was chest and back day, so I used machines that worked those areas. I miss machines!

Last POWERade Zero review...I tried grape today, and it tastes like medicine. Not cool, man. Not cool. Come out with more flavors, please!

Day 2: Plyometrics

This was much easier for me to do than the pull-ups from yesterday's workout. Although, this was still a tough workout. I took more breaks than what was allotted during the video...pressed pause a bunch of times, modified a few of the exercises. This definitely gets the heart rate going! Looking foward to doing this without taking all the breaks!
