X2 Core

Core has always been one of my weak areas...probably my weakest area.  This workout showcased that.

The first time I go through a workout, I tend to go about 70-75%.  I'm still learning the moves and don't want to overdue it that much.  I tried to do that today, but there were a couple exercises I really had to work at to get right.

On to the meat of the workout.  It starts simply enough with an interesting warmup.  Have your stability ball handy, and make sure it is fully inflated for later in the workout.  Mine was a little soft for a few exercises.  You then move into a short segment with the foam roller.  I can't say it did much for me, but I don't have any sore spots to workout on the first day.  Maybe next time.

The workout runs for 55 minutes, with a 15(!) minute warmup and around 5 minute cooldown.  In the 35 minutes you're working out, there are 17 exercises and some of them will really test you.  However, Tony said it best, this workout "sneaks up on you".  I can't point at a specific exercise that wiped me out, and I can't say that I am wiped out, but my shirt is soaking wet.

The last exercise is one leg, med ball, burpees.  I think I got a total of 5, poor ones.  The burpee was less of a problem than the med ball push up.

Tomorrow, Plyocide.
Plyometrics + Suicide = Plyocide....I can hardly wait.
