It hurts so good! Actually, that's wrong. It just hurts.

@Derg - there is an HIIT-like segment in the P90X training on both cardio days and plyometrics days.
Someone - and I cannot remember who, but it was the funniest thing I had read on JC up to that point - said words to the effect of "plyometrics actually means 'okay fatass you die now'"
'Tis very true.

The worst part is that I can go out, run 10K then do an hour of weight training and do it all while chomping on a cigar sipping on a delicious Bainbridge Island G&T (Thanks @Polar742!).
But I guess muscle memory is a real thing and that 5'3 trainer that sounds like a 12 year old girl is a SHE DEVIL.
[southerndrawl] the ladies within 69km of my present position on my blah blah app think it's awesome[/southerndrawl]I'm sorry, I find myself mesmerized by your ridiculous choice of neck ware!

It will get better, I promise. But here's the TRUE hell of it....you won't realize it's getting better because it's summarily harder.
Then, for some reason - you'll get distracted and stop for a while. Maybe two weeks. Maybe a month. Work, family - something will become a distraction and you'll lay off for a while.
You'll try to return at near-your-previous pace.
And you will want to die. Badly.
And that's when you'll realize how good a shape you had GOTTEN in before you STOPPED.

Yeah this. If your free time allows you to stick with it, in subsequent weeks you'll recover MUCH faster during active rest. It doesn't get easier overall, partly because a good program involves gradually decreasing the active rest (and perhaps increasing the intensity), but you'll find yourself lighter in the feet and breathing better. Some things to do to set yourself up for success is get REALLY GOOD inactive rest (time off between workouts). Sleep is paramount. I don't recover well unless I get over 8 hours a night, regularly. If I could get 9 every night, that'd be awesome. Also, eat foods that digest well for you as much as possible, especially right after the workouts.
Love interval training. It rocks!
