Jump around, jump around

Yes, I finally had to go there when starting a post about Plyo. Today was the last Plyo for a at least a week or so. When looking at the calendar I noticed that there is no Plyo during the recovery week so it should be at least 14 days or so before I have to do that workout again. I really don't know how I feel about that yet, it will be nice to stay away from one of the harder workouts for a little while but at the same time it is the one I enjoy the most because it is fun and I always feel like I got a killer workout when I am done. Today when I finished I looked like I had just gone swimming. Now that I have done the Plyo workout three times I am really starting to master the moves and am able to work on both the form of each of the moves as well as the pace and intensity of each of them. That is exactly what happened today, I was jumping higher, didn't have to stop at all during any of the moves, and didn't stumble or have to slow down at all. I am just about at the point where I can keep up with the people in the video. One thing I do want to get once I have the money for it is a heart rate monitor to keep track of if I am in the fat burning zone as well as kind of get an idea as to the number of calories I am burning during the workout. This is not all that high of a priority but I would like to know at some point, perhaps after tax return time or when and if I do either another cycle of P90X or move on to doing one of the other beach body products or perhaps just doing weight training here at the office. Tomorrow is shoulders and arms before I put that one away for a while an I am going to try and push the intensity up a bit so I don't have a repeat of the Monday workout and get a good burn going for the final upper body for a little while. I may even go up a band on the bicep lifts to really break down the muscle and try and add some size to my arms. I had a wild hair and wanted to see if my biceps had gotten any bigger since I started P90X since they look like they have to me but I could not find my tape measure anywhere. I am thinking it is a good thing because I could see where I would have been unhappy if there was not a change in size even though there would be no reason to be. This way I am not tempted to check anything until the end of next week when I have to take my 28 day progress picture. Even though I feel silly doing that I am looking forward to comparing the day one pictures with the day 28 pictures to see if there is a difference. Keep an eye on the post a week from Monday to see if I noticed a difference.
