The Wall – It Approaches (And P90X Plyo Recap)

Published on January 2, 2012 By Brent

Day 2 of following The Primal Blueprint and it hits:  The wall. Now, I will admit this:  I’m not counting calories.  I’m not logging what I eat.  I’m simply being aware of carb intake.  I keep a rough count in my head and an awareness as I try to hit the sweet spot of 50-100.  [...]

P90X Day 79 + The Abs Diet – Plyo X

Published on March 21, 2011 By Brent

Hey dummy, you’re not eating enough! That was the revelation I came to this morning while trying to figure out where I stand on P90X.  In fact, I may be severely under-eating and not realizing it.  I started figuring my normal daily intake and I was getting around 1500 calories by supper, which means at [...]

P90X Day 72 + The Abs Diet – Plyo X

Published on March 14, 2011 By Brent

Getting down to the nitty-gritty with P90X.  Today was Plyo X. Knowing I have Insanity on tap next, I know that I need to push myself hard on Plyo days to prep the legs a bit.  Today, I did not disappoint.  I did hurt a bit (in a good way, I mean in a good [...]

P90X Day 58 + The Abs Diet – Plyo X, The No Excused Workout Day

Published on February 28, 2011 By Brent

Earthquakes + Thunderstorms waking the kids up + hips that are enough out of align to cause discomfort leads to a P90X Plyo X session that was VERY difficult. Just so everyone has a reference on me…I live in an area that seems to be getting a lot of seismic action.  In fact, we’ve been [...]

P90X Day 30 + The Abs Diet – Plyo X

Published on January 31, 2011 By Brent

Some day’s you’ve got it, and some day’s you don’t. Today was definitely an “I got it” type of day with P90X Plyo X!  At first I thought I was dogging it as I could not get my heart rate up during the warm-up.  Now I’m beginning to think that my heart rate monitor wasn’t [...]

P90X Day 16 + The Abs Diet – Plyo X, Or As I Like To Call It, “Oww!”

Published on January 17, 2011 By Brent

One thing is for sure on my P90X day 16:  My legs were burning like CRAZY during Plyo this morning.  I did push a bit harder, but I could also tell that I might have been a bit short on calories yesterday.  I felt a bit drained early, which is a little unusual for me. [...]

P90X Day 37 – Plyo X (Can My Body Match My Brain?)

Published on August 3, 2010 By Brent

Ok, so this quote doesn’t come from the P90X Plyo X workout, but that is EXACTLY what was going through my mind. Last night, I was all excited to go to bed, get a good night’s sleep, wake up refreshed and energized and ready to absolutely crush Plyo x.  But something happened….and I’m not sure [...]
