P90X Review Plyometrics (Day 16 - Phase 1)
Ahh….P90X Plyometrics a workout like no other. If you’re not sweating at the end of an hour of jumping and squatting, there’s something wrong. While I was working out this morning I thought out all the workouts, Plyometrics is the one workout that the benefits you gain is in relation to how much you put into it. It’s so easy to not quite give it your best and lie to yourself and think, “oh yeah, great workout today”. I find myself dogging it every once in awhile and then turn it up a notch to make sure I’m really bringing it. The other thing I realized is that plyometrics is one of the workouts that I don’t set a goal for during the workout.  A large part of that is that there is no worksheet involved in this exercise set. Some of the exercises would be hard to quantify or measure, but others such as the Creek Jump would be easy to see if I made progress in the length I’m jumping. That’s something I’m going to have to work on for some of the future Plyo workouts.
I used the yoga mat for extra cushioning, but my old creaky knees still took a lot of abuse and they were sore all day.
