P90X: Day 30 - Plyometrics

Plyometrics

Ah, my long lost friend known as Plyometrics. I have not done this workout in 3 or 4 weeks now. I, strangely, have been missing it like a kid misses a rabid pitbull named 'Buddy' that used to hang around the house. The kid would like for it to come around more often, but he knows that if it does he will be torn up, left with nothing but pain and a disease that will transform his body into a BEAST. I guess I could have used the analogy of a werewolf... but I wasn't that quick on my feet. That one guy in the back, 'Dom', I think he has springs in his shoes. True story.

Plyometrics always makes me think of this joke. "Why do elephants wear springs in their shoes?" See the answer down below.

My thoughts: I'm somewhat back at it today. Did Plyometrics at full intensity. Ran into a problem with my knee torquing a weird way when doing 360 jumps. That's just a prior knee dislocation injury showing it's head though. I broke a really good sweat today. My nutrition has gone downhill like no body's business. I have been eating out, eating fast food, not preparing meals. I have been a bad P90X dieter. The creatine is going good. I have been drinking copious amounts of water lately.

Answer to joke: "So they can jump into trees." Ok, ok, I kind of made that up. Elephants need Plyometrics. Think about it though, you are walking along in Africa and you come across a herd of elephants that take flight into some bushes and trees to escape their predators... Freakin awesome.

Have you ever worn springs on your feet?
