Day 2–Plyometrics

Hello all:

First off, today I am really sore, my chest, abs, back and biceps (from the pull ups), and that is so awesome! love it.

I did plyo today as you are aware, I did it at the GYM for the first time, also since I was at the GYM someone else was interested in trying it out with me, that was cool! I had never done any of the P90X with anyone else before. However he lasted close to half the DVD till we started jump knee tuck for the second time and he had to call it quits, I was sad because I was all alone and people just watching, but at the same time I was happy I was doing this work out again. I tried my best to work hard and impress the people that were watching LOL I will say I had a hard time keeping up with Dominique this time around, since it has been about 4 months since I last did a plyo, I could be wrong, I have not double checked it LOL.

I will also say I got so sore, and my heart rate was through the roof, I could feel it, at times I had to modify a bit in order to slow down my heart rate a little, since I do not have a heart rate monitor, I did not want to over do it, but all I can say is DAMN! IT FELT GOOD!!! OH YEAH BRING IT!!!

Right now I am one big walking soreness LOL, but it feels good.

Also I will say this, if you remember before I started the cardio last week I weighed 158lbs, I weighed myself this Sunday before I started this weeks workout and I weighed 159lbs. Now this did not make any sense to me at all at first, all I did was cardio for a week, and I thought maybe there is something wrong with the scale or maybe I ate to much, but I worked out 45min straight none stop every day. Well while I was doing the lateral leap frog  I noticed in the mirror (I was doing this in front of a wall of mirrors LOL) My thighs are getting big and it’s muscle, when I squat down my thighs now have definition and I didn’t notice how thick they look, I actually ended up flexing my legs and was impressed by the muscle I could see, I measured and they have gone up about half an inch, so now I know where the extra weight came from, cool, of course the cardio I did involved my legs all week, how did I not see it before. It seems we consider that cardio will only burn fat, but we forget that we are using a muscle constantly for a period of time, so it will also increase in size.

Well tomorrow I have Shoulders & Arms + Ab Ripper X, we shall see how that goes, considering I feel sore, but I it’s a sore I like Open-mouthed smile.

Thank you for your time:

Mike
