Well, I took a hiatus. Mostly due to discouragement and frustration but really it's not that far off from taking the recommended two weeks between rounds anyway. :) But now I am back on track, starting the Classic P90X. Yesterday was day 1. I decided to make my day 1 on a Sunday versus Monday, so that my rest days are actually Saturday. This will work out better for weekend activities - so if there is something going on or I'm out of town Saturday not working out is ok b/c it's my rest day - hopefully I can still salvage Sunday's workout when I get home from said trip or activity.
I have not tried the plyometrics workout as of yet, but that's what I'm schedule for tonight. Having done Lean vs. Classic before, plyo wasn't part of the lean routine. It kinda scares me b/c I saw a youtube vid a gal made with a segment of plyo and it looks INTENSE. Yikes, hope my knees hold up! I imagine the pause button will come into play quite often. Some of the moves have already been introduced in other workouts, so at least they're not all brand new to me at this point......
With my thyroid condition (though supposedly I'm 'regulated' through medication) I may just have to accept the fact that I'll always have to work harder and longer at any fitness program than the average (non-thyroid condition) person to get the same results. I'm in the process of getting more concrete medical answers on this subject.
Overall, however, I know I feel better about myself and life in general to work out. So, I will continue. Pressing play every day is more challenging on some days than others, to be sure - but I'm striving to keep on doing it as many days as I possibly can!
I know everyone's different-- but I didn't think Plyometrics was that hard. And I had expected it to be. Yes it's intense and yes you get sweaty, but you're in good shape so you probably won't fall over and die afterwards :) You might even like it! Good job getting back on the horse.
