P90X Day 9 (Round 2 of 2011) – Plyo X
P90X Plyo X…get your little bucket near by! At least, that is what I thought I was going to feel like. Woke up at 5am, had a headache, had a 2 year old trying to make my life miserable from 4:30 until the alarm went off, but really wanted a good push today.
And push I did…while the head was throbbing!
Overall burned nearly 700 calories during the 58 minutes. My legs took a beating though. I worked on jumping as much as I could, as high as I could, as cleanly as I could. And when I landed, the head throbbed. Not a pleasant feeling at all, but managed it nonetheless.
Diet was nearly spot on today. I feel good about how it is going, although the lower carb really takes a toll on me. I’m trying to force myself through it until I can take no more with the 1 starch a day. For a guy who loves oatmeal, brown rice, whole wheat bread, beans, etc, little starch intake can really drag me down. And I feel it a bit in the workouts.
Tomorrow is Shoulders and Arms. I’m going to eat half a banana before I begin and see if that helps with the energy to push through the routine.
