X2 Plyocide. I KILLED You!

Ha, what a day. Lot's of running around to do while my husband is being sick. But that won't stop me from working out of course.
Last night I did a fun "challenge" sort of thing with my buddies Amie and Scott.  
Amie did 100 One Legged Squats with me, then 100 Pike Presses. Then we did a time challenge...hold up two 5lbs weights out to the side with straight arms. I did it for 1:47 minutes (husband did it for 2:32 minutes). Then 50 Shoulder Presses followed by holding a Plank for as long as we can (did it for 2:17 minutes) and last but not least we held our arms out straight with no weights (trust me it will feel like a ton)...I did that for 5:45 minutes. What did you do last night?! 
Anyways, Plyocide was fun today. I wanted to give it my all and can say I surely did! My average heart rate was at 168 with a peak at 180 (no worries it drops VERY fast for me). I gave it 150% knowing that on Saturday I am done with Phase 1! I am very happy that I decided to give it an extra week. 
I noticed how differently sore Phase 1 of P90X 2 leaves me. It is rather helpful due to the fact that you will know exactly what you have to tighten up when you are in a Spinx  Plank on a stability ball...all the parts that are sore. lol (which is basically your core and legs and back and and and...)

Hope you are all starting your year (days!) feeling positive. 



this picture looks funny, makes my arm look all short.
