Before I tell you how I modified P90x2 Plyocide, I’ve gotta say, I am so proud of my husband. We workout together, and I watch how hard he pushes himself, and he does amazing!
I am not an athlete, never liked sports, so for me to go jumping around to get all sweaty is a real stretch for me. But I know its good for me, for my endurance, my heart, and my energy. So I push through it, I “do my best and forget the rest!”
Overall I go at my own pace, do as many reps as I can within the time they are doing theirs.
Here is how I modify some of the moves in Plyocide from P90X2:
Killer Katherine Lunge – I do a step back into the lunge with a little hop in between. I do hold the medicine ball and cross it in front of my body.
Jack In The Box Knee Tuck – I am able to do this at my own pace, jumping as high as I can. This week I was able to do 10 of these, which is an improvement, as I could only do 8 last week!
Spartan Squat Lunge – Again, I take my time and go at my own pace and was able to do 8 on each side this week.
Super Skater Kick – I was able to do 10 on each side, slow and steady.
Depth Charge – We do not have a fancy step, could probably use one of our kids step stools, but we always forget and don’t want to go get it in the middle of the workout. So I just take a step on the ground and jump up.
Frog Burpee Hop – I step one leg out and then the other into a plank and then step one foot at a time back to my hands. I could probably then do a little frog hop, but today I was tired at this point, so I just raised my hands up to the ceiling and then went back into the step burpee. I did 5 of these.
360 Tap – Since I know I won’t be hopping around the ball like the others on this one, I make it a point to really engage my core as I step tap my toe on the medicine ball.
Set Sprint Plank Plyo Jump – Yeah, this one is a little extreme for me right now. Someday, I’ll be there, but for now I just run (sprint) in place and watch in amazement at how fast they can get up and down and get up off the ground in the plyo pushup, wow!
That’s all for now, I would love to hear your comments on how you are doing with P90X2!
