P90x, Day 8. O.M.G.
Still going, 8 days later.
I made the mistake last night of doing the p90x Plyometrics workout, which was 1 day following the Legs and Back workout, which was about 3 months since doing any leg workout. Stupid, stupid. My lower body feels like crap, but in a good way I suppose. The legs portion is really hard for me to do, because a man who is 324 lbs, who has poor flexibility, cannot do repeated lunges effectively. I tried to keep up, but I admit I not only did not do every exercise and every rep, but I performed some without going as deep or holding it as long. Sorry, I’m trying, I really am. I need to ease into this whole thing right now, and I need to approach this with the mindset that I’m not in reasonable shape like I once was. In fact, I’m really not even within the “shape” that is recommended to be using a program like this…
On to the Plyometric workout. It’s a bitch. Lots of jumping and quick movements. Again, sore lower body from the Legs workout + 324 lbs + POOR current level of conditioning = partial effort, but still a butt kicker. I’m truly excited to see how much of these workouts I’m able to complete in a month, in 90 days, etc. While p90x is only one vehicle to get you to your goals, I will admit, it is structured and planned and it keeps me structured and planned, which I have lacked.
