It’s the weekend, and we had a family gathering planned. I was short on time, and I consumed a lot of calories today (by my own choice, of course). I knew this going into the workout, so I did my best to make it count.
I still couldn’t decide between pull downs in the kneeling or lunging position, so I ran upstairs from the basement and set up my pull up bar. I tried a hybrid of several pull ups on the bar (as well as I can, since my feet are touching the floor when I grab the bar), followed by the rest of my reps using the bands. I definitely need more time on the bar, but it was still a great effort.
Exercise notes:
- I’ve got the hang of the tricky Plyo Lunge Press (lunge, hands up while switching legs, hands down, repeat)
- My Jack in the Box Knee Tuck was a little slower, maybe because of the pull ups plus running up and down the basement stairs
P90X2 Tip of the Day: Challenge yourself to try the harder version of an exercise. If you don’t do enough repetitions to feel the burn, add some easier repetitions too.
