Day 2 of P90X - Plyometrics
I was a little nervous about this one. I pre-viewed the plyo video last night so I knew what I was in for...and as the video stated, this was the "mother of all workouts." A curler friend, Liza, said this workout is brutal. Liza, by the way, is on her second round of doing the program, and is on Day 15 right now. She has been another person who is giving me some great positive, encouraging words (tweets actually). ...I also had a couple friends who said plyo is one of their favorites. ...so, I was hoping maybe I would love it.
It was brutal...and I think it's going to be a love/hate relationship with this one.
One of the cool things about starting this whole thing, is that I feel like I have a team doing it with me. I played team sports growing up. There I had a coach pushing me to my limits, and teammates by my side going through it all at the same time...with the ultimate goal of being the best players and working together to be the best and strongest team. With a handful of friends doing P90X all at the same time, I feel like they are my team, and we are all in this together. (and Tony Horton is our coach, pushing us to our limits)
Without that support, I don't know if I'd get through more than a couple weeks of this. This program is hard...yeah, I know it's only been 2 days. =)
So, here's to my friends...my P90X team! You guys rock, and with you, I KNOW I can do this all the way!
GO TEAM...
Dave Ellis - My favorite Canadian...Who talked me into this in the first place. We are scheduling it to work out at the same time if possible, and then chat about the workout after...and sometimes txt during our water breaks to complain how brutal Tony Horton is to us.
Jeremy "the hitman" Roe - Jer and his wife are both doing the program, and they are doing the full meal plan. I'm doing my own version of the meal plan and just watching my portions and cutting out junk food and drink.
Liza Beres - California curler transplanted to the midwest recently. She's a P90X vetran, and is on Day 15 of her second round. She's got the best motivational tweets! Despite a 2 hour time difference from her previous residence, (therefore working out a couple hours earlier than she was use to)...she is rockin it!
Dan Wiza - Fastest sweeper in the midwest...Saw the post on facebook, and decided he's in too! No more putting off working out! It's perfect timing for us to all be in tip-top shape for the start of curling season! Dan has done this before...he's got some good advice too.
Shana Healer - Cute, feisty, Texan culer...who can break a sweat going to the mailbox and out for ice cream. ...heck, it's Texas...its hot down there! But she's putting up her hair and working out too! You go girl!!!
I am excited to see everyone's progress, and happy to be friends with all these people who are pushing themselves to the limits to get in tip top shape! Woo hoo! Keep it up!
See yah tomorrow everybody!
