Marion’s P90X Workout

I accept it. The fitter I get - Plyo won’t get easier. But I’m glad that my knees are alright with all those jumping.

I know what I did yesterday: Chest & Back. Doing this workout the first time again after a recovery week gets me sore every time. No chance to hug and love myself today…but it will be better tomorrow, I know.

Do you watch the timer when you do an Insanity workout? Me not. I simply can’t. I don’t want to know how many seconds (or minutes) of an exercise are left…this would just make it harder. I just shut off my mind and try not to look at the screen.

It’s a brain workout.

Man, Plyo was hard today. And Kenpo all the more. Sometimes I ask myself why I sweat significantly more than on other days. My windows were fogged all over the place again. Also the foam mats on which I train were wet all over - I do Kenpo Cardio with bare feet. Sometimes I had to take care not to slip while doing kicks. This time I really worked out in a "pool of sweat".

During the course of the day my hip flexors got very sore. And I got a little more hungry as usual…:)

It’s recovery week again. Even if I’m sure I could lift more weight in Core Synergistics, I think it’s better not to overexert it in these weeks. Keep my heart rate up, but I want to give those muscles a break.
