Something about grunting!

Today's workout was Upper Body Plus quickly followed by Ab Core Plus.  I'm new at these P90X Plus workouts.  I think they are very challenging, but again, still very do-able!  What I have noticed since I started doing the Plus videos is all the grunting I seem to have started!  Yup, I'm beginning to feel like Tim the Tool Man Taylor.  It appears as I am pushing through the moves I am grunting to get one more out.  If by some chance I don't grunt as I'm doing the moves, I am grunting as I put the weights down!  That's the thank god that torture is over as my mind is to wiped to speak the words yet it tries to push it out the mouth for all else to hear.  So, what comes out is the grunt!  

I don't know if the grunting makes the workout any easier.  But, I think it is definitely a mental thing.  I think the grunt is my mind telling me "girl you just really brought it with that move."  Only to find the next moves makes me grunt just a little louder because I'm more tired with each new move.  

Ok, so is X plus is turning me into some kind of crazy animal.  Maybe, a crazy person for sure.  But, I'm loving the new challenges!  I love feeling stronger everyday!  I love pushing myself to the limit!  I love the look on my husband's face when I tell him about the workout!  I think he believes he may soon have to start working out with me just so I don't pass him in getting a good set of abs!  (My husband has a nice set of abs already, so that is a challenge to get even close to his.  And, not that I ever want to look like a dude with abs, I just want to look good!)

Therefore, am I embarrassed by all the grunting that occurs in my living room each day?  Hell no, I just know I am doing my best and leaving it all on the mat!  And, the grunting is to say to everyone around me - Join me or Leave Me ALONE!
