In this workout, there are (i think) 5 rounds, and a bonus (sports) round. each round is made up of three 30-second exercises and one 1-minute exercise. once you complete the round, you repeat it. (with the exception of the bonus round. that one is just a little bit longer than the other rounds and is only done once through)
THIS IS A TOUGH WORKOUT. especially if you are first starting out. if you don't feel that you are ready, try Cardio X first. it is a combination of yoga, kenpo, plyo and core synergistics. it will help ease you into it, as well as give you a taste of what the program is about. it is also a little shorter than the other workouts (it's about 45 minutes rather than 1 hour). not, by any means, am i saying it's an easy workout. it isn't. but it gives you small snippets of each type of workout - giving you a taste of plyo rather than a full plate all at once.
The other thing to think about if you ARE doing plyo - MODIFICATION. important. know that IT'S HARD. and it's alright if you need to take it down a notch or go a little slower than Tony and the gang. Pam performs a majority of the exercises in a modified way. and Tony helps show you the changes she makes to the original moves. you're still working, just in a slightly different, less intense way. DO NOT OVERDO IT. there is a difference between struggling and failing...this time, LISTEN TO YOUR BODY (unless it's telling you to just give up and take a nap)... :)
OH i almost forgot! don't do plyo until at least an hour has passed once you've eaten your last meal. you reeeaaally don't want to get a sideache in the middle of the workout - that's no fun. it's happened to me before. ALSO, make sure to fill your body with a good meal After the workout. the first hour after you've finished is when your body is ready to take in lots and lots of nutrients. take advantage. don't eat a donut. or drink a mountain dew or something. drink your water!! if you've got the P90X results and recovery formula, you'll want to drink that within the hour. or Shakeology. or a whey protein drink (the powder and either skim milk or water - that's what i usually do when i'm out of recovery drink). you can also slip some recovery drink into your water DURING the workout. i always forget to do that.
PLEASE don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have!....i know i can be brief on some of these things in my posts, but please ask!! -suggestions are also helpful....i'm not perfect! :)
P.S. - OH NO! i was going to do motivation helps today! darn it, i will get that in tomorrow!
Until day 3 all you X-ers.......Court
