P90X Day 30 Completed: P90X Plyometrics
P90X Plyometrics Mary Katherine Lunge
OUCH! P90X Plyometrics kicked my butt yet again! I just finished Plyometrics, and I’m still sweating from the workout. This is just another P90X workout that never seem to get easier for me! My wife did Plyometrics with me, and it seemed like she was doing better than me today. I guess it’s because she usually does some type of cardio workout daily. Towards the end of the workout though, she was struggling just like me.
The exercises that really kill me during this P90X workout are the squats (like usual). I looked in the P90X Fitness Guide, and during Plyometrics you are actually doing 8 different variations of squats (not counting the warm-up) with 2 sets of each variation. That’s a lot of squats! Despite the pain, I always try to do better than the previous workout. I feel like I am getting a little bit further in the exercises until I have to modify or rest. I didn’t pause the P90X DVD today like I’ve done during previous workouts, rather I just did as many reps of each exercise as I could.
Now that I’m cooled off (after sitting here typing this post), I feel really great that I completed this workout. I’m excited for tomorrow since I’ll be doing another new P90X workout, Back & Biceps.

Congrats Jonathan, you are making great progress.
I again, had a sick day :(, so I will see if I do anything this evening or not.
I have decided instead of “skipping” days I can’t do, I would rather my schedule get throw off and actually complete the days then to let them pass by..especially the beginning of phase 2.
So if I can’t do chest, shoulders, triceps today, I will do them tomorrow.
Oof, sick days suck! I had one of those a bit back, definitely makes the workout harder.
I appreciate it! Sorry to hear that you’re sick!!
That sounds like a good plan. I’d do the same thing if I were in your position.
Hope you get better soon!
I commited thet most incredible sin today! My co-worker brought me McDonalds, even prior to this program I rarely eat it. She was hot though, and I didn’t want to turn her down, what kind of message would that send? I did let her know I don’t normally eat it though.
I will say I paid for it today. Plyo was hectic, and I was breathing heavier than previous weeks, and much earlier in the program. That 10 piece chicken nugget meal and Dr. Pepper was a bad choice! I felt like Ron Burgandy sprinting down the streets after chugging the milk.
lol! That’s really funny! If I was “available” I probably would have done the same thing.
Plyo is one of those workouts that you hate while you’re doing it, but you feel great after it’s done. Good job on pushing yourself through it!
I just finished day 21 and can see changes in my muscles! Love the workout.!
Since I’m going thru a divorce, P90x has helped me channeling negative thoughts into positive energy, and for that I’m thankful.
Good job!! Congrats on your results!
Sorry to hear that you are going through that, but I’m really glad that P90X is helping you get through it. Again, great job and keep pushing play!
Hey johnathan, i was when you thought you start seeing major results. im on the first day of the 4th week , recovery week. i have noticed some results, especially chest and shoulders but not a whole lot. i was wondering if maybe in the middle of phase 2 and onward is when you really start noticing results
thanks
Congrats on getting to the 4th week of P90X!
Everyone is different on when they see results. I would expect though for your to see some type of change by the middle of Phase 2 or you may be doing something wrong. As long as you are doing the workouts the best you can, following the P90X diet or another high protein diet that works for you, then you will see results. It’s just a matter of time. Make sure to take your measurements every 30 days, and take pictures of yourself. Keep pushing hard and the changes will come!
Cardio X is now done. Did it while hubby and the kids were having supper. I’m starting a cold and didn’t think that I would have it in me at 7:30 tonight. You know you’re committed when… Hubby was more than happy to take over the kids to make sure that I didn’t miss a day. That’s teamwork. We’re starting a new weights program tomorrow. Chest, shoulders and triceps. Curious to see how it goes.
That was a good idea knocking Cardio X out early especially if you’re coming down with a cold. I hope the cold comes and goes away very quickly! I think it was at the end of Phase 2 when I caught something but luckily it didn’t last too long.
That is great teamwork! Sounds like the both of you are very committed to the program, so great job! Doing P90X with someone else or having an accountability partner really helps to keep people committed to the program. Good luck with Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps. That’s a tough workout, but I’m sure you’ll do great!
I hate plyo. Lol. Like I really hate it not because its hard or challenging (that I actually don’t mind) I dread. This workout everyweek. Even though I can Get through it, its apparently not my thing.I don’t even feel good after I think I’m might switch it to cardiox not cause I’m wussing out, but cause I think it will keep my motivation up.
Did you listen in to the call we had with Tony Horton Christine? If not, listen in here-

I think you’ll be surprised at to what Tony Horton says about P90X Plyometrics. KEEP pushing play and continue to keep us updated! BRING IT!
Are you refering about that part where he said if you cant do something then do somthing you can do? Soo I shouldn’t feel bad about hating plyo. As long as I still bring it so to speak during.cardiox.
It’s up to you if you do Cardio X or Plyo. I’d say if you can do Plyo then just do it. It’s tough, but if you stick with it, with time you might learn to enjoy it (I did…I used to hate it too). I was referring to the fact that Tony Horton himself sometimes dreads doing P90X Plyometrics since it kicks his butt too! :-) Just do your best and keep pushing play no matter what!
Great call with Tony and Carl. Always interested in hearing what books people read for inspiration.
I have been using your blog as a way of keeping tabs with your historic progress as I get through my first round of P90X. Day 30 done and keen to get through phase 2 now. I’m based in the UK so I don’t think P90X has the same exposure here. I’d love to change that once I reach my goals which I actually think will take more like 180 days but that’s ok. I know I will get there.
Good! Glad it’s been helping you out! Keep up the AWESOME work Steve! Sounds like you’re ROCKIN P90X! Keep us updated!
