    Cardio Power and Resistance: I can feel myself pushing harder.
    Pure Cardio: I push myself to get through a minute but then I am tired when the next exercise starts.

    I'm excited that I made it this far! and excited to keep going!

    Totally agree here ^^^. it does get easier the more you do it the stronger your get. I had power/resistance today. it was crazy but I think its my fav. I could tell I was getting more in and working harder. :)

    @boberrymom, your very welcome. usually I do this on facebook so we can post pics of food, sweat, ect. it really is a great motivation. but thought id try it this way for those at work or not on Facebook. So far doing great! I just want to motivate and be motivated. :)

    Alright so it was my second time doing plyometric, and I burned LESS calories today, then the first time I did it. Is that normal? My body is just so exhausted, but I thought i pushed so hard! Just making sure its normal that I burned more the first time then I did the second time.

    I don't have a heart rate monitor so I couldn't tell ya. I did feel VERY tired today, I could barely move.

    Its normal to start burning less calories as you go on, its just your body showing its getting fit!

    Mikeyh is right! It is normal. I was burning less too so DO NOT worry about it. I just learned this thru P90X...the stronger/better you get the less you will burn in calories BUT your metabolism will still grow. :D So you'll burn more thru out the day.

    SO SO SO Sorry this is posted so late. That 9:30am 3mile run really did a number on me and I was totally not expecting to feel so drained.

    Here is DAY 2 of week 2 tip of the day.

    Try to eat 5 times per day—3 meals and 2 snacks—each with roughly the same amount of calories. It keeps your blood sugar stable instead of peaking and crashing, which can lead to overeating and a general poor feeling.`

    Swapped Week 2 Pure Cardio and plyo, so I'll be doing pure cardio tomorrow evening (can't do it at 6am after a late Wednesday night!)

    Cardio recovery does feel good doesnt it? My friend who enjoys yoga now wants to try that session out

    My husband and I also noticed that it is harder to get our heart rate up this week which I consider a win! It means we are building up more stamina! Its amazing how quickly this workout does that! Yay for NSV's!

    DAY 10:
    It's Week 2, and soreness may be setting in. You might be tempted to skip a workout because you are feeling "so sore." Exercise actually increases circulation, which in turn speeds healing. So keep going and make sure to get your 8 hours of sleep each night so that your body is getting the rest and recovery it needs.

    I just found this out to be true today. Yesterday as most you may know I did Core Synergistic's (P90X, finishing that up this week :D) and I ran 3miles. I was feeling wrecked and I was planning on just doing Recovery today. However I decided to wait to do my workout later in the day and I am Soooo glad I did and I decided to PUSH myself and do Plyo anyway. I did better today than I did last Friday with Plyo and burned more calories. Thats a WIN!

    Way to go guys! This week is really going fast for me, I am so thankful it's thursday! Keep pressing play, even if it's 1:00 o'clock in the morning try to get these workout in. You'll be glad you did! Day 23 CHECK!

    Let's make sure we all get our T-shirts btw!

    hehe, I cant get a tshirt as a. I'm borrrowing the DVD set and b. Im in the UK - but please post a photo when you get it!

    I did the pure cardio session this morning, it's so much fun! bonkers, without any breaks but as soon as he said to take a break when you feel your form slipping, I realised how sensible it was. I cant do pushups still, I just do a tiny dip on the pressup/jacks.

    DAY 11:

    Everyone is doing great. I assume we have a few that dropped off already as there are 42 members and only a handful of posters. BUT those who are still committed and here I am so HAPPY you are!

    As you are making fitness part of your routine, those real-life stresses keep trying to creep back in. The answer is not to skip your workout or have a cheat meal—just get in and Push Play. Working out actually releases stress-reducing hormones and will encourage you to continue fueling your body with healthy food. Stay consistent, guys!

    By far my favorite one is Plyometric Cardio Circuit. Now if I could just do a few more of the basketball drills before I fall on my face! LOL!
