The Average Joe Fitness

I still haven’t com­pleted a full Ply­o­met­rics work­out, yet today was prob­a­bly the best time through the rou­tine. As I men­tioned yes­ter­day, one of the lessons Tony Hor­ton preaches is that it takes time and com­mit­ment to improve.

One of Tony’s favorite quotes is “Do your best, and for­get the rest.”. That kind of men­tal­ity will pre­vent you from los­ing moti­va­tion if you can’t hit a cer­tain num­ber or keep up with the pace. These work­outs are dif­fi­cult and the aver­age per­son will most likely not be able to keep up right away. With time and mak­ing sure I didn’t get frus­trated, I’ve been able to over­come some of the lim­i­ta­tions I first encountered.

When I first started P90X last year, I would get nau­seous about half way through many of the work­outs. I almost threw up my first day doing the Chest and Back work­out. In order to get past that lim­i­ta­tion I con­tin­ued to push myself, but made sure not to push to the point I injured myself.

So Ply­o­met­rics kicked my ass again today. I still wasn’t able to do the entire rou­tine. But I did sur­pass a past lim­i­ta­tion, so that’s a win. A small win, but still a win.
