Plyocide and Rest

As I commented on last post, I had a very late night Tuesday and there was no way I was getting up Wednesday to workout.  So I took Wednesday off(using it as my rest day) and did Plyocide today.

The group of guys I've been working out with all think Plyocide is easier than P90x Plyometrics.  I was thinking about it today as I was busy panting during the workout.  First, the actual working out part is shorter.  There is more warmup and cool down.  I think plyocide has some exercises that are harder, but that P90x Plyometrics in general is harder.

Lets look at a little math.  In Plyocide, you do 5 groups, of 4 exercises.  Each exercise is roughly 1 minute, so that is 20 minutes of high impact exercise.  In plyometrics, you also do blocks of 4 exercises, however, you end up with one extra minute of workout per block based on how the exercises are scheduled.  Additionally, there is one extra block of exercises, so you're looking at almost 10 more minutes of almost equally intensive high intensity exercise.

The last part of the equation is doing p90x chest/back and then plyometrics leaves you much more tired than doing p90x2 core followed by plyocide, so that probably comes into the mix as well.  Anyway, I've rambled enough for now.
