Day 80: Part 2 of 2 - Might as Well Jump


I get up, and nothing gets me down.
You got it tough. I've seen the toughest soul around.
And I know, baby, just how you feel.
You've got to roll with the punches to get to what's real
— Jump by Van Halen


I stepped into my home gym late this evening to do my second P90X workout of the day. I missed Plyometrics (jump training) yesterday and decided to knock it out tonight. My upper body was suffering from this morning's workout and my lower body has been sore for the last two weeks. However, I dug deep and squatted, jumped, twisted, lunged, hopped and leaped for an hour.

I felt like I was solid stone and probably gave the worst plyometrics performance since days 2 and 9 of P90X. Although my performance wasn't top notch, I gave it my best and that's all that counts. In P90X you ain't competing with nobody but yourself.

I'm so glad I made up yesterday's missed workout. One P90X workout in a day is tough enough let alone two. I'm sure I'll be paying for it when I wake up tomorrow to do my Kenpo X with Karen. Friday night I'm going to try to squeeze in an extra X Stretch P90X workout in the evening to make up for the one I missed during week 3. Then I'll be caught up and feeling good about myself again. I know I'm being extreme but that's what the X in P90X is all about, baby!
