Day 9 - Plyometrics

I feel good about today's workout. I didn't cheat once and I stayed the course throughout each set of each exercise. To date, this morning's workout was probably my best, especially since starting last Monday. I think playing basketball 3 to 4 times a week helps me with this workout. It is difficult to finish and I sweat like a hog, but I feel like I can do everything just as well as the guys on the video, except for maybe the guy in the back. Today I got lower on my squats than normal, and I really made sure to focus on my form. As a result I felt the burn and feel good about the whole workout. I even finished the video's last 5 minutes by stretching with the crew. I normally just skip that part in the interest of time, each video takes forever to fully complete.

My only complaint about this Plyometrics video is the bonus round or the "sports round." The baseball pitching exercise is a joke. I tried doing it with more intensity, but I wasn't feeling a thing. That's why baseball players can get away with being fat. The jump shots were good because I was trying to jump as high as possible while maintaining good form. The football exercise was pretty good and I think if I intensify that part of the workout it will be even better. So yeah, I think the bonus round is a bit anticlimactic, but it's probably used more as a decent cool down than a vigorous bonus round and sprint to the finish line.

All in all, my best workout to date. Somewhat looking forward to tomorrow to see if I can repeat the quality of workout for my arms and shoulders.
