I. AM. DEAD! P90X Plyometrics!! LOVE IT :o)

Okay, I had reason to be afraid....it was killer. What I should have known was that I could do it. I am woman, hear me roar! LOL. I am one tough chick, I always knew that. I am one of the few women who LOVE weight training, getting all sweaty, and pushing my muscles to their extreme, pushing farther, pushing harder, never giving up. Underneath this fat lies a muscular girl, a girl that IS extreme! I challenge myself. I push myself. I don't settle for less than I can give. Even if I'm going down, I'm going to give my best. I may not stand up tomorrow, but today, I ruled! LOL. I may be a cripple for a couple of days, but today, I left it all on the floor. I brought it!

I made sure I had my heart rate monitor on too...even tho I'm not too clear on how to use it...yet.

stretches.

This is definitely hard core. Non-stop but totally rewarding. I think the trick is that they make it interesting too. The positions are killer, a LOT of squatting. Good job I LIKE squatting. :o)
I'm totally done. I feel good though. I made myself a Fiber 35 protein & fiber strawberry smoothie. I don't have any of those recovery drinks that everyone pushes. This drink has a lot of vitamins and minerals plus the protein...so I think it will work. I am SOOOO happy that I won't be doing this workout for another week...even if I do love it. My body just couldn't do it. Day 2 of P90X is in the bag!
