P90X Review – I Hate Plyometrics
© Tim Pannell Photography
Week #2 day #4………I skipped P90X plyometrics on Tuesday so I did Plyo today……I hate this DVD! This workout hurts so much it just about kills me every time I do it. To be honest, it’s more like a love hate relationship that I have at this point with P90X Plyometrics.
When I’m done with this workout……I”m always thrilled that I did it. I know I really need this one and it has helped me a ton with racquetball.
Last week I think I only lasted about 35 minutes into it. This week I managed to do the whole workout, but I wanted to quit so bad at that 35 minute mark. I just forced my way through it. I played racquetball for 2 hours last night and my legs were pretty tired going into this DVD. My quadriceps were burning for almost the entire hour. I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy to finish a workout as I was this morning.
The results are starting to pick up as well….I’m now down 9 pounds from where I started out last week. Now this is the point that I ususally congratulate myself into a bunch of nasty cheeseburgers and or…emphasis on and ice cream. Then the results start to back slide and I get bummed and the whole thing goes down the crapper. I will not do that this time.
I really can feel the momentum shifting this time around…..I don’t know that I can explain why there’s a difference, but trust me….there is. I’m not failing this time around….I’ve got to make it work.
Tomorrow’s Friday and we’ll have more family in town to visit my sister in law as she battles her lung cancer…….she’s doing remarkably well by the way. She is really an inspiration to so many of us as we watch her deal with this entire thing with so much dignity and class as well as determination. She is going to overcome this no matter what the odds.
I’ll be playing racquetball again tonight for a couple of hours and then tomorrow I’ll end up doing P90X Kenpo X which will feel like cheating or not doing anything compared to P90X Plyometrics. It’s almost like a day off!!!!!

Ugh I’m no fan of plyometrics either, I’m not trying to lose weight either, but my bad lungs and bad knees don’t help. It’s tough making it through this workout and im already in phase 2 and I’ve gone like 30 minutes through plyo before wanting to throw up. Made me feel bad especially being in the shape I’m in which is incredibly healthy, I’m super fit and tone, eat good nutrition and I still can’t find it in me to finish this workout.

I hear ya James…….I’ve actually developed a “love – hate” relationship with Plyometrics. I’m still a big fat puss bucket, but I get through it….although by the end I feel like I’m crawling. Keep at it and it’ll pay off. I’m not much skinnier than when I started, but I’m so much stronger it’s hard to believe.
