Day 2

Two interesting notes before getting to today's workout:

First, I woke up sick.  I am one who rarely gets sick.  But I woke up with a bit of a sore throught, a brick in my chest, and an unproductive cough.  I got home from work about 3:00, and fell asleep almost immediately.  I slept for 3 hours, getting up a little after 6:00, still feeling pretty rough.  For one who wakes up before midnight, this can be a problem, particularly when I hadn't worked out, eaten dinner, showered, etc.  I am off work on Wednesdays, so I have a bit more flexibility on bed time, but still, getting started with life at 6:00 is tough.

Second note;  Yesterday, I observed that I didn't feel my "Chest & Back" workout my in my chest (or back).  I did feel much more of that today in my chest.  Right up by my armpits.

So today's orkout was Plyometrics. Otherise known as Jump Training.  Much like the name implies, its a series of jump moves designed to build core muscles.  The video notes that this is the "x" in P90X and the "mother of all workouts".  It says that this is the advantage in athletics and will make you quicker, able to jump higher, run faster, and increase endurance. 
The video is just shy of an hour.  The first 10 minutes was a warmup, but this kid was feeling the burn before the warmup was over.

The excercises were much easier to understand right away than they were in Chest & Back.  I'd say I understood 85% of the workout.  And the form will certainly improve for future workouts.

I made it through the entire workout with limited breaks.  During the workout, the biggest struggle I had was more along the lines of cardio.  I did feel my legs burning, but breathing deep was an issue with this brick in my chest.  After I finished the workout though, I felt much more in my midsection.

I again drank half of my muscle shake before, and half after.
