P90X day 16 Cardio X instead of Plyometrics

I’m not happy I did this workout. I did it because I wanted to see how it is compared to Plyo and I’m not complaining about the workout itself cause I know it’s targeted to people just starting out. I’m just upset that I did it cause as hard as Plyo is I know I could have brought it or atleast keep up with most of it. I say Cardio X overall is good for people JUST starting out and are not used to working out so hard.

Next time I def need to do the Plyometrics.

Day 15 of P90X - Shoulders and arms

It's 4:00pm and I still haven't even started my workout yet. Just wanted to stop by and say that so far I'm really enjoying P90X. I can't wait until I come out of class to get my workout started. It is a hard workout, but it's also what you make of it. My day has been hectic and I really need to make an effort of getting up at atleast 6:00am and doing P90X first before anything else like checking the computer. Damn computer lol, it's a blessing and a curse. So I've been eating a lot healthier since I've been focusing on calorie counting again. Haven't gone over my calories and for that I am happy. I love the cuts that are beginning to form on my arms. I love showing them off to my boyfriend and my mom. I think they are sick of it, but it excites me :D. Okay well I'm going to go I have class soon. I will try to come back after school and write. Sometimes I can't cause my boyfriend needs attention, so I get sidetracked. My mission for today is to come home, change, and workout without anything sidetracking me.

Okay I am back after doing Chest and Back and Ab Ripper X. I did very well today and made an effort to push myself a little past my threshold. It was when Tony mentioned that people usually stop way before their supposed to because they get something in their heads that tells them it hurts. So I pushed my self harder when I got to that point where I thought I could do any more. I'm glad I did because I improved in all the workout except for one. My numbers keep dropping for the Divebomber Push Ups. By the time I get to those it's hard to go from "under the fence" to "over the fence". I also up'd my resistance bands from using the blue (heavy resistance) to using the red (medium resistance) and blue bands combined. So I felt it a lot more in my chest muscles.

I was very sore at the end though, but when I finished I took my protein shake and feel a lot better now. I improved a bit in Ab Ripper X by raising up my hands for the "In and Out" exercise and by folding my legs indian style for the "Crossed Leg/Wide Leg Sit-Up".

Overall I am very proud of myself that I Brought the X in P90X.
