Monday - Plyometrics - Week 1

Plyometrics half killed me tonight. I think I came the closest to puking from exercise that I ever have. Luckily, I didn't hurl, though. But, when he said to take a water break, all I could do was collapse on the sofa for the 30 seconds. I was taking water at first, but then my stomach was not doing so well.

It was an intense, extreme workout. He got to one point where he said, ok, half way through. And, I was like, what?!?! But, I kept on going. Some of the moves were fun. I liked the lateral jumping ones the best. The worst one was "hot feet" where you're jumping on one foot. I could not do that for the 30 seconds and had to switch to the modified version. Of course this was towards the end of the workout. I need to build up more stamina. Oh yeah, and there was one where you run around in a circle. That one made me dizzy. Very different moves. And lots of them.

My workout setting was pretty ideal. I was in the theater room of the basement, and although the floor is cement, I had my cushioning gymnastics mat that I laid out. So, I was in good shape there. I had an area of about 8 feet by 4 feet. The ceiling was a bit low, but it wasn't really a problem.

But, it was a tough workout - in a good way, though. I'm happy that I stuck with it. I'm glad that's just once a week, though. I have a feeling my body will be hurting tomorrow.
