So I mentioned P90X before as the workout we're planning on starting at the end of March. If you don't know what it is, a quick Google search will show you. It's tough. It's killer. It's no joke. It's 90 days of intense working out combined with eating right. If you do the entire program, it's supposed to be pretty awesome. So far, I don't know anyone who's made it the whole way through, either from discipline or just sheer exhaustion.
We're going to try, though.
It has segments on back and shoulders, arms and legs, abs, yoga, kenpo, cardio, just to name a few.
Today we did the Plyometrics, or jump training, portion. It's basically a video tutorial on how to turn your legs to jelly and make your bum sore for a week. Last week we made it about 15 minutes in. This week we made it 20. It's a 60 minute video, but PROGRESS!
Once we burned out our quads and hamstrings, we went for a 15 minute jog through our pre-dawn neightborhood. The cardinals were out in force, their little birdy songs sounding like a Star Wars blaster skirmish.... pew pew pew! (Geek out!)
By the time we got back to the house, the sun was peaking its head up just below the treeline, threatening the nearly full moon.
For breakfast I made some slow-cook oatmeal with honey, bananas, strawberries, and blueberries. Next week maybe I'll try some raspberries or kiwi.
