P90X2: Plyocide

While I didnt wear shoes during the "4 Legs" workout, this is a necessity here!

Equipment was also more involved (really "4 Legs" requires a wall and a chair and your body).  Have the following readily available prior to pushing play:

• Medicine Ball (I used an 8 pound version)
• Stability Ball (make sure yours is inflated!)
• Plyo Box (I used one of the kids' step stool)
• Foam Roller (the ones with bells and whistles are not needed..simple will suffice)
• Bands (or you can use a towel, but bands are much better)

P90X's Plyo X has been said to scare, but I also heard that this version wasn't nearly as intimidating....so while I assumed it to be more "hard core" than the "4 Legs" workout, I was ready.

Summary:

• 55 minutes (BIG chunk of this is the warm-up and cool-down)
• Tons of focus on core strength, stability, recovery
• You won't sweat as much, but maybe thats because there is no way that you can do it all the first time around!!!
• Tough workout!  First half, I was able to do at least 3/4 of each exercise....by the end, I was happy to do 1/3 of each.  Yes, they are that hard.

I'm looking forward, in a few weeks, to be able to do all the routines in this workout...some day....hey, I can dream!
