DAY 9- P90X Legs and Back

Day 9-P90X Legs and Back

These one hour workouts are killing me.  After 28 minutes, I still have 30 minutes left, which seems like forever.  With only 14 minutes left I was seriously considering stopping the video and feeling pretty good about myself.  BUT, my husband came to my rescue, reminding me I never had to do this workout again if I didn't want to and that it was really only 4 more moves before the cool down.  I made it.  Barely.  I was doing the last set of pull ups, with a chair, and was asking the husband "Pleeease....help me."  So he decided to push on my butt, which didn't get me anywhere, except laughing at how pitiful I must look. 


Alright then, the workout.  58 minutes of a mixture of pull ups and squats/lunges.  That pretty much sums it up.  I burned 375 calories with an average heart rate of 137.  That's so weird to me because those stats match the same as plyometrics, a completely different cardio workout.  I think it's because there's only one one minute break in this workout and you're using some pretty big muscle groups.  I had much less recovery time in this one than in other videos. 


Guys, I'm not doing so good with the junk food.  Whenever company comes over I like to make a treat and it's getting me in trouble.  Work always gets me off track, too.  I mean, it could definitely be worse. I'm having a cup of soda at work, a couple homemade cookies there, a handful of MandM's there.  But those calories add up quick, so I've got to keep it under control.
