Day 2 - Plyometric Cardio Circuit
Oh my! I wasn’t expecting that! Well, that’s a lie, Ive been dreading it all day, but tonight was my first real workout and wow it’s tough! I was never any good at Plyometrics during the p90x workout, after 10 minutes I can no longer jump anymore - literally! This was insane! The warmup itself was enough for most people, Im sure and I couldnt wait for the bar to come where we’d slow down and stretch! Today it felt like taking an old, low capacity Morris Minor out on the road for the first time in 20 years, and ragging the knackers off it like a boy racer! hard acceleration, hard braking, swerving in and out of traffic - then dumping it in the garage afterwards. I felt REALLY great finishing though, as half way through I thought "hmm, first day, this is hard, im about to feint, I’ll call it half way and still Ive done something. But no, the jumping stopped, and I was onto another move - just in time! My two concerns this time around were, i) will my legs stop aching (it did, after changing shoes), ii) will i slip on my own sweat (i didnt, but the floor was covered!) and iii) I need new trainers (the walls of the trainer were giving way!). When the black girl on screen was faling on her knees, I knew I was powering through with the others, and felt les slame about struggling! COmpared to P90x, this is very high cardio plyometrics, very fast, and very hard. If you want to know how I felt tonight, run 100m as fast as you can, I mean really run. Now do that for 40 minutes until you collapse.
Ive never sweat so much!
