Well, at least that's what Tony H says. Fact is, there is some validity to that. Fact is, it has always been the one routine that I looked forward to the least. Fact is, that is because I really sucked at it.
Quick little back story...
Never being the most cardio proficient individual, on my first whack at P90X, I had to slowly work my way up to being able to hang with the kids on the Plyo DVD...and after many struggling sessions, low and behold for the last phase of P90X I was killing it 100% and actually looked forward to the Plyo day. How about that?!
So today was the first time back doing the old Plyo. After yesterday's disappointing reality check I wasn't exactly rolling into Plyo waving the battle flag high. But "Play" I pressed and I quickly got right into the swing of things. My legs were instantly feeling challenged but not in the way they did the first time around. More so they were just rudely awakened. Makes sense. I haven't exactly asked them to do jack for the last six months.
Today I asked them to Jack...and after a bit of resistance, I got them going pretty darn good. If I had to estimate how well I did against Tony and the kids, I would say I was at 80%. That's pretty good!! I mean, I'll take it! And I am really surprised at the strength and endurance I maintained in my legs over the course of the looooong summer off.
I am predicting a full Plyo recovery by the end of Phase 1.
I'm pretty excited about that.
We shall see.
Atta Boy. Now I have some night time joyful reading again. Can't wait to feel your pain in a month or so. Wish I was starting now, but life is in the way. Soon enough amigo. Soon enough.
ReplyDeleteThat's super encouraging! I think you're going to rock this thing... your body will respond fast. You're going to have to start adding some other kind of color to your posts because it's just going to get boring reading that you got this thing. Just sayin... I have a lot of confidence in you, and I think you might have more to say is all. ;)
