P90X Day Six and Seven

Day Six and Seven 

Since I helped my sister move yesterday, I was exhausted and decided to switch day six and seven.  Yesterday I rested and tonight, I did Kenpo X.  It was actually a fun work out, you just need a lot of space to do it. My roommate joined me today also.  She may be continuing the work out with me :)

Kenpo was an interesting work out.  Although it was hard to do the kicks with the limited space I have, I modified it and got those kicks in.  The soreness has gone away for the most part...I'm just hoping it doesn't come back this week.  Just like Dad says, it will get easier over time.  I also moved back to school today, so that was a bit of a work out as well.

Tomorrow is back to Chest and Back, along with the Ab Ripper X.  Should be fun!

P90X Day Two

Today is day two!  Let me tell you...it kicked my ass!!  I thought day one was hard?  Oh no...no not at all compared to day two.  Today was only Plyometrics, and I am thanking God it was the only exercise for day two.  

Plyometrics is basically nothing but squats.  There is a lot of movement and mixing squats with some cardio.  A lot of the exercises required squatting along with movement.  For example, there was an exercise called Leapfrog Squats.  Basically, you are in the squat position and you hop forward twice then backwards twice for thirty seconds.  That doesn't sound too bad right?  NOPE!  Thirty seconds is a long time!  All together it was about 60 minutes of nonstop cardio and squatting.  It took me about five minutes just to go downstairs after that.  

I did practice some archery right after (and ironically shot a lot better than usual), but after all of that, I got some ice out and iced my legs and back.  I never knew ice packs would feel so good after that kind of work out.  I'm hoping that by doing that, I won't be as sore as I could be.  

Let's keep this up!!
