Day 14: P90X Plus--Interval X

Day 14 was supposed to be Pure Cardio but due to the fact that I didn't have the disk with me at home (left it in my office) and didn't want to drive into my regular place to workout, I decided to substitute Interval X from the P90X Plus series of workouts. P90X plus is pretty similar in nature to Pure Cardio as it is based around "interval" or high intensity exercises. Interval X starts off with a warm-up/stretch then you do a series of 14-15 exercises starting out very slow and working up to a faster pace for 30 seconds. You do one round of these exercises, then you have a short 1 minute break and you do them all again in reverse order.

In Pure Cardio you do about the same number of exercises (14-15 of them) but you do them for 1 minute a piece with no rest in between. You also have a 9 minute warm-up before you get started with the actual workout. The warm-up actually feels like the actual workout of Interval X.

Overall, a great workout today even though I varied my exercise a little bit but again they are very comparable to one another. I can already feel that is my thighs and butt area...I love that feeling. Week 2 complete. Bring on WEEK 3!
