Today I wasn’t sure if I just didn’t fuel myself correctly or if I was just pooped during the Plyo X dvd. I feel more tired this week than last week for some reason. I am still pushing through the dvds, but the Plyo today was pure torture towards the end. I noticed some improvement in my workout even though I had less energy throughout it. When I get too exhausted I step through the exercises like the modified versions, just so I don’t seem too much of a wuss. There is an exercise where you jump your legs and knees into your hands, like you are sitting down in the air. Tony Horton called it the “Mother” of all Plyo moves – and yes, it is tough! I actually was able to do some of these in proper form, but my house shakes so much when I land I think I might have to start doing them outside. Sometimes my leg muscles feel so hard during this workout it’s almost like they freeze and I can’t will them to move!
I thought this accidental picture of me warming up looked cool! I am just jogging in place touching my kness to my hands.
I jumped with such force during the Rockstar jump move that I hit the pull cord and it swung all around and got tangled. I’m not sure if you can see that in the picture unless you look hard. It scared me when it hit the glass. I’m so glad I didn’t break one!
Here I am doing the Squat Jumps. These are like jumping jacks only you are in sort of a lunge or crouching position.
Look at the massive amount of sweat on my face – I was drenched! Totally worth the Torture!
