P90X day two is in the bag

P90X Day 2: Plyometrics. Phew, I’m glad that one is over – for this week anyway. On the DVD, Tony defines Plyometrics as “jump exercises” but plyometrics actually comes from the Latin words Plyo and Metric which, when put together literally translates into “workout from hell.”

This is the type of workout that I expected to get from P90X. High energy, high movement, high heart rate and lots of sweat. This type of workout comes more naturally to me and I’ve never been a big weight lifter so I actually kept up in today’s workout much better than I did in yesterday’s.

With all of the ups and downs and jumping around, I’m guessing that my sleeping family didn’t really appreciate this workout. I liked it though and I’m feeling pretty good right now, but I’m expecting to be very stiff and sore for tomorrow’s workout: Shoulders & Arms with a little Ab Ripper X.
