Today I did my first session of P90X. Wow. That was really a workout. The plyometrics is designed to help pro athletes be more agile and jump higher. It is so tough that I had to do the modified version just to make through about 1/3 of the entire session. Each session is about one hour long and although there are a couple of quick breaks, it’s a strenuous and vigorous body building session.
Running Stance Squat, Jumping Squats, Knee High Heisman Jump and so much more in the first section that helps build leg muscles and core strength and balance. And by the way, my legs are sore.
For first time workout, this is way too tough and I’d recommend starting with something far easier to get into good enough shape to work on plyometrics. If you are going to tackle this, make sure you are wearing comfortable tennis shoes, and make sure you have enough room to jump a reasonable distance vertically. Ceiling height does matter.
One of the additional demonstrators in the P90X workout video session had one artificial leg and was able to keep up and do far more than I could. I really need to stay at this way better, and certainly don’t have any excuses (though I was trying to come up with some good ones) :) It’s definitely more fun if you are doing with someone else who is there to help egg you on and keep pushing you.
P90X is a good workout training with a diverse menu of exercises to choose from and is typically started on a 90 schedule. They recommend taking 6 sets of photos before and then also after your 90 days so that you can see the incredible difference there will be in your before and after photo shots.
