P90X Plan – Day 44
Plyometrics – I redeemed myself a bit from yesterday’s workout, I had a great plyometric workout this morning. My legs felt a little heavy during the warm-up so I was uncertain if I was going to have another day like yesterday. Now that I am in phase 2 of the P90X program, I define a great workout as completing all of the exercises until the time clock runs down to zero while maintaining good form. I pushed myself hard enough to accomplish this and it’s always a great feeling when it’s over. The key to complete each exercise to the end is all mental, most people give up too early and they do not fight for those extra reps. It common to do this, I did it more in phase 1 and I still have to remind myself during a workout to step it up. If you take a 45 minute workout and minus out the warm-up, cool down, and small breaks, each workout is pretty much only 30 minutes. If you physically do not have enough in the tank and have to stop before the time clock runs down, make sure you give it your all. At some point, either being in phase 2 or 3 or even another round of P90X…you will be able to perform these exercises to the end. I still am unable to do all the push-ups during the chest workout so I started doing the last few reps on my knees just to complete them.
After I put the kids to bed last night, I definitely was not in the mood to do both cardio-x and ARX. I knew I had another cheat day scheduled for Thursday (new years eve) so I pushed myself to do it. I was very glad I did it when it was over!
