Morning!
You know, you either need to do your workout at 12:30am or at 4:30am….getting up at 3:30am just doesn’t cut it because when you’re done, it’s really difficult to get back to sleep again. Wah!
Ah well, these things happen.
So! Day 16 was Plyo and let me sing a song of joy, I love this DVD. Plyo, or “jump training”, got my heart rate right up there. I can now see why this workout was sandwiched between Chest/Back and Shoulders/Arms – it really gives your legs a super workout (the squats are heavily, I will say – front/back, side to side, jumping jack squats, etc.).
My thigh has recovered to the point I was able to do most of the exercises again. For those I either cannot or chose not to do (like the Hot Foot, ie, one legged hopping), I substituted non-stop side karate kicks. I really like the fact the workouts are not rigid; I’m always moving and always gaining skill/strength.
Afterwards, I really felt it in my lower back and thighs. And of course, I blessed repeatedly the miracle of Tiger Balm; that stuff is the oinment of the gods.
And thus ’twas Day 16 of P90x,
Barbara
