We’re arriving at the gym late again, or at least Mark Briggs is! I guess they need some sort of intro for the workouts. Jillian Michaels uses a similar fake huddle or clipped conversation at the beginning of her videos, too.
This workout has been with me since the first week, so I have covered a lot of the details. Here are some highlights from today’s session:
- This time, I did the not-so-Fast Feet Chair Jump. I was tired already!
- My Warrior 3 Lunge wasn’t too bad. It seems I can do that move from a standing position pretty well, as long as it’s not part of a yoga routine.
- My Spartan Lunges weren’t so deep, but fairly coordinated
- I did 11 plyo push ups after the Super Skater Kicks
- I did 9 Frog Burpee Hops (a personal best so far, in that 60-second time period)
- I did 10 plyo push ups after the Single-Leg Squats. I deserved it, because my squats weren’t so good.
- I kept going all the way through the P90 Cross Hop, at a slower pace, but I didn’t stop
I did not pause the DVD except for taking brief notes and my wife’s two minute interruption near the end. I know Tony Horton never mentions this reason for the pause button, but I’m sure it’s OK. Also, this time around I did the entire neuro-integrated stretch session.
My “bonus round” was a make-up Ab Ripper session in the evening, to replace the one I missed last night. It’s amazing how I can motivate myself to do a 15-minute workout at that time, when I used to think it wasn’t worth the effort..
