I got a new "toy"...something that will help me see exactly how many calories I'm burning, how many I'm consuming, what my deficit (or surplus) is at the end of each day, what I need to burn to reach my goals, etc. It's called the BODYBUGG. You wear it on your arm all throughout the day.
I had a coaching session with someone from the company and we went over the program you use on their website and on the iPhone. So I've really been using it and here's some data to report...
Tuesday, July 12
TurboFire 45 burned 449 calories; P90X Chest/Shoulders/Triceps burned 240 calories.
Ended the day with a 646 calorie DEFICIT
Wednesday, July 13
P90X Plyometrics and AbRipperX burned 500 calories.
Ended the day with a 361 calorie DEFICIT
Thursday, July 14
TurboFire 55EZ burned 495 calories; P90X Back/Biceps burned 197 calories.
Ended the day with a 488 calorie DEFICIT
Friday, July 15
Didn't do a workout today. Just did work around the house.
Saturday, July 16
TurboFire 45EZ burned 410 caloires; P90X Back/Legs burned 276 calories.
Remember it takes 3500 calories gone to lose 1 pound.

Plyometrics
Here is some more info about Plyometrics:
Plyometrics loosely translates into “jump training”. There are also plyometric exercises for your upper body, but the really intense, fat shredding plyometric exercises are the kind done in the P90X plyometrics program, and they are primarily lower body movements.
There are numerous benefits to plyometric training, and you get a healthy dose of all of them in the P90X program.
As with all exercise programs, the more you put into it, the more you’ll get out of it:
•Massive calorie burn
•Increased balance
•Increased endurance
•Increased explosive strength
•Increased strength of muscles as well as all connective tissues
•Massive metabolism boost from the sheer intensity of the exercises
•Increased confidence in your ability to really push the limits and to make measurable progress
There is a guy in the P90X Plyo video that has a guy with a prosthetic leg, and not only does he pull off the workout, but he excels at it. So, with no further excuses available to not give it 100%, the exercises begin!
