Drylands:
Did the P90X Plus interval DVD this morning. 10 minutes of warm up and 30 minutes of workout. I made the same modifications as before (no medium pace -- 40 second slow + 20 seconds fast). The DVD is somewhat similar to the plyo DVD from the original P90X. One thing I like about P90X is all the DVDs seem to have a core focus -- key for swimming.
Here's a sample exercise from the DVD (the easiest one on it):

Commentary:
I had considered doing the whole Ande set with my MF. But my legs felt tired in warm up from yesterday's run and this am's plyo/interval workout. So I decided to do some swimming early in the set. Probably got less rest this way. lol
I have no New Year's Resolutions particularly. Except possibly to do my RC exercises more consistently and stretch more. (I saw that Keiko had resolved to do 2 x 30 minutes of strength + flex every day. Every day!) I'll have to mull this over, though I"m not really a resolutions person. Any suggestions? (Aside from "ditching fins." lol)
My legs are already feeling rather dead ...
