Day 2 - Plyometrics

I woke up this morning and completed Plyometrics. This workout reminds me of the Air Alert programs I used to do in High School. Air Alert guaranteed an increase in vertical jump of 8-12 inches. Since high school basketball consumed my every thought, the Air Alert program was a natural fit for my life at that time. Unfortunately they make that program so difficult that by week 7 , out of 12, you physically can't complete the workouts. So while that program is harder than P90X Plyometrics, I can at least be satisfied in knowing that I can finish this workout. My heart beat definitely was going at a fast rate and I felt the burn in my legs throughout the program. At 15 minutes to go, Christine accidentally turned the power off on the DVD player, so I jumped rope and tried to remember what the rest was all about and did that for the last 15 minutes. In our garage we have a TV/DVD combo and for whatever reason we can't get the DVDs to play (Scott Shirts would know why). So we hooked up another little DVD player, but it doesn't have a remote and it doesn't have fast forward controls on the machine itself, so instead of waiting 45 minutes to get to the 15 minutes mark, we just continued on our own. It was a good workout and it tested my will to finish each exercise. I can definitely see the benefits of Plyometrics.

I had that same protein shake this morning, but before the workout we ended our fast and I had an orange and some crystal light to give me a bit of energy during Plyo. I didn't want that same feeling I got last night to reoccur. I went to Subway for lunch, 6 inch sandwich is not going to do it for now, so I had the $5 foot long, chicken breast, no cheese and lots of veggies. It was decent, but truth be told I'm not a subway fan. I need to drink more water throughout the day. I probably consumed about 40 ounces of water, that's not nearly enough. I didn't go running, so I'll have to see if I can will myself to the gym tomorrow. Lettuce wraps with ground turkey, watermelon and corn for dinner.
