My friend Eric has been doing P90x for a while and has been really encouraging as I prepared to start the program. So, it gave me some pause when this super supportive friend said: "Tomorrow is plyometrics. Man, it is gonna kick your butt." Consider my butt kicked.
Plyometrics is a workout that uses jumping and fast movements to build power and speed. It requires good balance and good flexibility. Unfortunately, I am Oh-for-Two in those categories. Instead, I'm slow and as flexible as a 2x4 (that's not actually me in the picture, but it's close).
But dare I say that "Plyo" was actually kind of fun? Make no mistake, I'm hurting after an hour of squat jumps and the like. But, again, I pushed play and did the workout. When I needed to, I modified, especially when my left knee gave me a twinge of pain. Still, I finished. That's what matters.
Now, if I could only get out of this chair.
