P90X Review: Day 2 - Death By Plyos
P90X Workout: Day 2
Day 2 was intense. The workout part of the day involved Plyos, or plyometric training. Now, when I was playing basketball everyday we would have to perform plyos a lot in practices. I honestly can say that I did pretty well with them. We would do lunges, box jumps, lateral foot slides, floor crawls - and for the most part I could hang. Well, the little voice in my head must have been stuck back in those days because it was saying, “Plyos? Pfft. We can do those!” About 20 minutes into the workout I didn’t hear a single peep out of that little voice. This workout was killer. Sometimes I don’t know what is worse - putting that video in for the very first time and going into it blind, or knowing next Tuesday I am going to have to do plyos all over again. Needless to say, it had me drenched in sweat and my heart rate was pretty high - overall a great workout.
Nutrition
My eating for the day went well. The night before I cooked a chicken dish directly out of the Nutritional Guide. For lunch, I used the left-over chicken and made a very delicious chicken salad, which was also from the guide. After dinner I was craving some sweets, in particular some good chocolate chip cookies. I wasn’t hungry, it was just my sweet tooth showing up. Luckily, I tossed all my goodies before starting the program.
Day 2 Review
The day went very well. I planned to up my workouts and perform extra cardio 3 days a week. I decided to do these on days I wasn’t doing the AB Ripper X workout. Today was one of those days. For extra cardio I am going to start running 3 miles in the evening and lengthening that as I get in more shape. By the time I got home from work I was so stiff from the morning Plyo workout that I didn’t know how well the run would go. It was tough, but after the run the stiffness and soreness went away. I felt a lot better waking up in the next morning.
