Did P90X plyometrics today for 1 hour. Everyone told me, including the p90X people, that it was the 'mother of all workouts'. not true.(for me) The yoga kicked my butt twice as hard as the that. I did double time on some of the plyometrics segments just to make it harder. It's probably because the plyometrics is all in the legs and lungs and that happens to be the only part of my body that I consistently work out and I'm already strong there. Whereas yoga is all core strength in which I have never consistently worked and at which I am currently a completely pathetic weakling (that I am going to change however). In any case, it was still a great workout and worked muscles I would not normally have worked. P90X is proving to be a pretty great overall strength/core workout...I'm digging it. Average HR for the plyometrics hour: 133 (including warmup and cooldown) I couldn't resist running barefoot in my shorts and tank top in the 60 degree sun afterward! The inflamation in my heel is gone and it felt great to get out and run again after another week off. I took it easy and ran on the sidewalks and grass around the neighborhood...it was a nice reward after solid workout. Run stats: 3 miles - 26 minutes - 8:40/mile - HR: 147 avg - 331FT
