Plyo X

Oh good God... help me! It was Plyometrics day- instead of the usual Cardio X... and it was GOOOOOD.

My legs will hate me when I try to get out of bed tomorrow, I'm sure, but I can tell this workout will work wonders on those legs as well! So I've tried Plyo before- but didn't make it through last time (few weeks ago). I got a phone call and I was glad for the reprieve because I was grabbing knees about that time (about halfway through) and then I just watched the last part. But today... no phone interruptions, no kids (got them to bed first) and so I did the whole thing. I. Did. The. Whole. Thing. And lived to tell about it.

There I am... doing one of the big jumps. I didn't take pics at all during the whole thing, but afterwards, I set up the camera to get a shot. It took several tries to actually catch one of myself in mid-air, but there it is. Some extra jumps AFTER the torture fun was done.

I'm SO glad it moved quickly. Each of the moves were only 30 seconds long. Sometimes it seemed like a looooong 30 seconds, but it did go by fast. And then on to the next move. And then on, and on... and next thing you know, the whole set gets repeated and then it's done, and on to the next set. Nothing seemed to drag on because it moved so fast (thankfully!) but man... those moves sure got me breathing! I forgot to put on my HR monitor but I'm sure I stayed up there pretty high in the 160's or so. Yeah- next time, I'll make sure I have it on.

It's SO tough... but I actually can't wait til the next time I do it again. What an incredible challenge. Bring it on!!!
