P90X Week 1 Day 2

After finishing day one of P90X, chest and back I thought to myself, “I hope everyday is not like this”. Today when I woke up I was fairly sore, pretty much what I expected. I have always looked at my level of soreness the day after as an indicator of whether I got a good workout. I can feel the soreness all throughout my upper body and it gives me a sense of accomplishment. I can definitely say I received a good workout.

It is day two of P90X and according to my calendar it was time for plyometrics. After completing day one I believed it probably would have been the hardest that I would have had to work out. To my surprise this workout proved to be even more challenging than the first. Throughout the entire plyometrics DVD it seemed as though I was only on the ground for a short amount of time. With as much jumping that was required I felt as though I sprouted wings. For the entire hour I perform a series of jumping exercises that took me to my limit. I felt as though I could create my own personal swimming pool or at least a Jacuzzi with as much sweat that was released from my body. This workout left me completely exhausted; I could barely stay on my feet upon completion. My quads, hamstrings, calves, as well as the other areas of my body felt as though they were on fire. Day one and two were outrageous, I can’t wait to see what day three holds.
