Day 2: Plyometrics

What is plyometrics, you ask? It's a whole lot of jumping. I am talking about a LOT of JUMPING. So, if you are a lady, be sure to wear a VERY GOOD sports bra. I would hate for any of you to tear some ligaments and have saggy boobs but great abs!

Tony Horton also claims that this Plyometrics video puts the X in P90X. It's extreme. He warns NOT to eat at least 1 hour before doing this video, to use a recovery drink afterwards (or during), and if you are a beginner to possibly just do the cardio video. Did I listen to ANY of this advice? Sure ... and no.

I failed to eat breakfast before doing this video. I woke up, waited about an hour and jumped right into it. I was feeling dizzy and just nauseous so I had to stop with just 15 minutes on the clock. Utter failure. But, now I know. Due to my large breasts (42DDD), I have these awesome sports bras, that I think I got from JC Penney, they clasp in the back and have underwires. Be sure to seriously think of your breasts ladies, they will hurt if they are not secured during this video.

I had to do everything, and I mean everything, modified in this video. I had to do low impact jumping (barely lifting myself off the ground). Oh, and for good form (which he will remind you of over, and over, and over again) jump on the toes. I mean lift off and landing. "Be catlike".

I have never sweated this much in my LIFE doing MODIFIED versions of the moves in an exercise video. Usually, I do modified versions if I am being lazy, NOT because I really need them. Well, in this video I NEEDED them, and I'm not ashamed to admit that over and over because this video IS DIFFCULT! Really puts the X in P90-Xtreme.

It will be a good day when I can finish this video. I can see it now.

So, good luck to you!
