P90x Thrill

Today was a great day to get a good run in but instead decided to do the P90x Plyometric workout.  This brings me to a point of discussion as to the benefits of a workout like this to perform at least once a week when either trying to lose fat, gain strength, or circulate good oxygen to the working muscles while eliminating the toxins.  Of course the better shape you are looking to achieve the more you should perform his routine.  See exercise have more benefits then just the 6-pack physique, it eliminates wastes and improves oxygenation to working muscles, including the heart and lungs.  This plyometric workout I just performed can be used for a large population ranging from novice fitness guru's to advanced athletes.  I would put it in the class of high intensity interval training (HIIT) with my heart rate was dramatically lowering and peaking from 125 bpm (beats per minute) to 173 bpm.   For you this may be different depending on a variable amount of factors including, fitness conditioning and dietary intake.

***Advice for the day:  Perform at least 1 HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) workout a week to burn 200+ calories and increase metabolism to burn fat and decrease recovery!
