Rutabagas and Plyo. COMPLETE

Yes...I completed the dreaded Plyometrics portion of P90x. Whenever people heard on facebook and in general that we were doing P90x we had been warned about this workout and how it literally kicks your BUTT. So, I was supposed to do Cardio according to my schedule but decided to try the Plyo. as Ben said it was a great cardio workout for your butt and thighs. So, I was in. The workout is intense and fast but it is all manageable as far as choreographed. Not super complicated as far as the steps go. Ben described it as basketball practice all over again and I would agree. Lots of squats and working down low with your knees bent. I feel like after completing that, that I can do any of the workouts now. I think we may be taking "before" pictures tonight but I will NOT be sharing those quite yet. Maybe in the end.

Dinner: Roasted Root Veggies with Brown Rice, and side salad. This dinner was actually inspired by Tayah. The other night she found some purple cabbage in her salad and asked me it it was rutabaga. I didn't even know she knew what a rutabaga was but apparently she heard them mention it on Wonder Pets. Go figure! So, I bought a rutabaga to show her what it was. So I roasted rutabaga, parsnips, carrots, baby potatoes, red onion with herbs and this is what we got. Surprisingly Tayah LIKED the rutabaga. The girl doesn't like apples but likes rutabaga.

Plyometrics: The P90X Plyometrics routine is the real calorie burner of all the P90X workouts. It does not matter what sport or activity you do it will help you. The interesting part of this workout is that it is a high impact workout. Over the past couple of years there has been a move to low impact workouts to prevent injury. What Tony Horton stresses is that if youdo not work on those muscles that are suppose to take a beating than you actually a prone to injury faster. A good example would be people with knee injuries. If you never work on the muscles that surround the knee you have nothing that can support you if you were to get hit or make a weird pivot while running.
