I decided to get up early this morning and do the Plyometrics workout before work, since I will be in a meeting all evening and won't have time later. It turns out this was not such a good idea. Half way through the routine I had to quit and skip to the cool down. I just didn't have the energy to get through the reps. I am totally disapointed in myself, but I know my limit and this morning was definitely it. I am still feeling the drain hours later and I am glad I didn't try to finish the routine because I might still be lying on the living room floor.
I have been feeling a bit under the weather lately, which might have contributed to the bonking out (and may be why I don't feel so great right now). But I think the main contributor is this meal plan. Very few carbs and lots of lean protein does not leave alot of fuel to burn in the mornings. Most days I wake up hungry, and this morning I tried to perform an hour of plyo with nothing to go on.
Lesson Learned:
Mornings are not a good time for P90X workouts, at least for me personally.
A greater effort will be made to get home for evening workouts. There goes my social life.

Questions: 1) what the heck are plyometerics 2) how long are these workouts that your social life will be out the window?
ReplyDeleteRemember: It's only for 90 days, so only about 81 left to go! And it sounds like your doing really good so far.
Thanks Maria. 81 days left is a great way to look at it. I'm sure the days will fly by.
ReplyDeletePlyometrics is a high impact cardio workout, and this routine is high intensity as well. It is lots of squats and lunges with jumping in between each rep.
I have been meaning to explain the workouts better. Will try to from now on.
jumping squats and lunges, ouch! how long are the workouts?
ReplyDeleteThey are around 55 minutes including a few minutes of warm-up and cool down
ReplyDeleteQuestion: isn't 'bonking' a euphanism for having The Sex?
