P90X2 Plyocide

This was great fun today and harder than I remember lol - I actually think it was harder because I'm fitter so I can give it more oomph - if you know what I mean!

Used a 3kg medball for the mary katherines but struggles overhead, then used a 2kg DB for other stuff.

Love it!!

P90X2 SW2 D2 Plyocide + 22MHC Core 1

Plyocide was fun today in my gym with more room instead at home but some of the side to side hops made my hurt shoulder hurt grrrrr

I used the Power Stands to help modify the frog burpee hops and I swopped the Depth Charges for Chisel's Up and Overs with 3kg Medball in hand ;)

Chased it with 22 MHC Core 1 for a quick bit of Core work :)

P90X2 SW1 D2 Plyocide

Stressful day today as we had take one of dogs into the Vets for an operation to remove his claw after he cracked it on Saturday.  First time we've ever left him with a stranger/vet and it was a hard day but thankfully it all went well and he's back with us. Thank you!

I started to do Core De Force Agilty Power but 5 mins in I just wasn't feeling it with Joel. I wanted the stress release of cardio, thought shorter would be better and its one I haven't done before. But I felt like I was cheating on Tony already so I got stuck in to Plyocide like I should have done in the first place.

Loved plyocide and enjoyed a little giggle with Tony to lighten my mood. I was sweating buckets and my Heart Rate Monitor was messing about ie I'm gasping for breath after Jack-in-the-box-knee-tucks and its reading 121 grrrrr No!!!

So I think my burn is a little off but I gave it my all. It was later in the day than usual, I felt a little heavy and my knees weren't terribly happy after the weekends MMX and Intervals X but its rest day tomorrow and no more jumping till Saturday 😉

Also loving the mild doms from yesterdays Chest and Back 💪

P90X2 Plyocide

I went for P90X2 Plyocide today and loved it!!

I skipped the foam rolling because I'm not sure doing it before the workout is ideal - you relax all the muscles down and then expect them to work hard? Jury's out and I'm sure Tony knows best but I found it hindered me when I did it in the past. I think its great after a workout though.

I didn't do the groiners ( I just walked each leg up and back) or full burpees because of my back, again I walked back and forth and only 3 of them to be cautious. But I'm jumping fulling, jump knee tucks etc and really enjoyed it.

I love Tony's workouts as he never fails to make me smile while working out :)

My first two consecutive days since my back so more progress yay!!! I was maybe working a little more than 75% today but boy it felt goood!

I saw the old Power 90 on bod - has anyone done it? like it? recommend it???

P90X2 Plyocide and 22MHC Core 1

Was late getting started tonight but took 2 Phd Body Sculpt pre workout capsules before I got going and I think it really helped - the caffeine really perked me up and helped me focus and the muscle fatigue seemed a lot less so I went for it ;)

Not done Plyocide since 2nd June 15 and it wasn't one of my favourites but tonight I really enjoyed it and got a great burn too!!
I didn't do the foam rolling or the stretching at the end to save on time and instead I went straight into Core 1 - got every rep and pleased with my form too ;)

Hope everyone is pushing hard???

This was ok tonight but not as much fun as plyometrics and no where the same calorie burn but got a bit more core work in it and some different stretches.

X2 Plyocide

This was good tonight, I had a few interruptions from the pup but other than that it went pretty well.

Still managed to do the hop section for the full time so really pleased with that.

Warrior 3 lunges felt hard tonight for some reason too!

P90X2 Wk 7, Day 2 Plyocide

P90X2 Week 7, Phase 2 Strength, Day 2

Plyocide

Struggled a little with this tonight - energy not there again grrr. Also my right knee was bothering me a little and right foot was complaining from the cramp I got the other day. So I took it easy on the single leg hops because they were actually painful. I was only doing 180 surfer spins too. I think I really need that recovery week!

I'm pushing hard and I guess it shows - I think I may start putting in a recovery week in after every 2 weeks as this week 3 has been tough, just like the last one so it seems like a plan?

I've also ordered P90X+ wahoo - it should be here tomorrow  Looking forward to some new stuff

P90X2 Wk 6, Day 2 Plyocide

P90X2 Week 6, Phase 2 Strength, Day 2

Plyocide

Good fun but started to slow down and then started feel pretty rough about half way though  sorry might be too much info but had to stop for a bathroom visit and afterwards thankfully all ok so finished off hard.  


Slight aside - still suffering some doms this week much to my surprise. I'm pushing hard but not sure if my body is missing the recovery shake. I don't want to go back on them if I can do it with food. 
I'm currently having a banana, actimel and fruit yoghurt which I thought was a reasonable mix of carbs.sugars and giving me approx 10 grams of protein. Even took some BCAA's with it too in the hope to help with the soreness but wondering if I need to get a bit more protein in there???

Plyocide

Loved it and also got a new personal best of managing to to do the single leg hops for 30 secs  

I kept cramping and stopping at around 20-25 secs but tonight I made it through wahoo!

I only used a 1.25kg plate tonight for med ball but went for it. Had a few interruptions but got it done!

Last bit didn't go quiet so well as last time because I was little knackered but it's all good

Pushed hard again tonight  

I think I managed some Mary Katherines  not really deep on the lunge but I now can actually get the movement working correctly at last. Wahoo!!!

I also managed to stick with them on the last exercise (set plyo sprint plank thingy) for the first time ever! My ploy's were't perfect but my hands left the ground each time they were supposed to I'm calling that a win  

I can't believe how hungry I am at the moment - for the last 3 days all I want to do is eat?? what's all that about??? - I don't feel like I've built that much muscle but hey maybe its all going on in areas that are not visible???

Plyocide

Enjoyed this today and pushed hard, noticeable progress again so I'm a happy camper 

Think I even managed some mary katherines - they weren't deep but they felt much better and much faster than just a skippy lunge!

P90X2 Plyocide

Plyocide

It was fun tonight, missed a few reps watching form a few times but generally I kept up I think  

Except for mary katherines (plyo lunges) - I'm still yet to conquer these!!!

I'm aware of a little DOMS today in the core - so thats a good sign of things working in the right places from yesterday! (Hmmm didn't really get much DOMS at all while doing X3  )

X2 Plyocide

 tweaked my shoulder yesterday but not sure how? So figured I'd do my planned plyocide anyway as it's mostly legs  Doh! I forgot how much arm stuff there was in it!

X2 Plyocide

I loved it, was wary of shoulder and it was painful in a few parts but generally it was great. Big improvements noticed for me on the single hops section, the jumps over the line bit and jumps using the lines on the floor near the end (can't remember the names  ). Apart from a short break on the single leg hops I managed to keep up which was awesome compared to last time  

Groiners are still impossible for me at speed but getting better, my mary katherines seemed much quicker tonight i.e. actually had some speed instead stepping them so really pleased with that. I think I was trying to go too deep before  

Of all the workouts I've done, nobody can make me sweat like Tony does  

I also forgot about the kicking section and the warrior 3 lunges - oooh my glutes knew to those after combat yesterday!

Wow fun, fun, fun!!!!!!
Love it  

It actually wasn't as hard I thought it was going to be  Couple of the moves to improve on but mostly I could keep up, much to my surprise  

By doing X2 Rec. & Mob. a few times now, that had prepped me for the toe touch squat thingies (not sure that's the correct term lol) and Combat definitely prepped me for the fighter kicks. 
I had a few penalty push ups to do but not as many I thought I might have! The last bit was the hardest for me ;
