| I hate life. |
Today I did plyometrics for the first time in half a year. I felt pretty confident about my achilles holding up to the abuse and happily, nothing in my leg exploded.
I also managed to make it through half the plyometric workout without caffeine, a huge jump from the lackluster energy singularity I was just three days ago. I supplemented at 35 minutes left with one of those FRS quercetin drinks (the apricot nectarine one doesn't taste bad). My goal is to slowly reduce my caffeine intake to nil by next week.
I remember when I watched Matt, Bess, and Sheyanne were doing the plyometrics they all kind of gave up out of disgust at the cheesy "sports-reference" moves towards the end of the workout, and honestly I gave up right about then because I was just fucking beat. I didn't want to completely stop exercising anymore, my legs just couldn't take it after no leg workouts for almost a half a year.
I gave myself a two minute rest after the p90x plyometric workout and finished my caffeine drink, had some water, and started doing the KFM boxing high impact routine I created for when I couldn't use my achilles while working out. Since the plyometric workout focuses almost completely on legs, my arms were still very strong, and I managed the full 8 sets - 1 minute of punching/blocking/kicking/footwork (any one of these or some/all mixed together) with 30 seconds rest.
You can go up to 1 minute of rest, but any higher and after that long plyometric workout beforehand you'll probably start to cool down too much.
On top of getting rid of the stupid "Baseball pitch" "basketball hoop" moves that all of us non-sport fans curl a lip at, I'm certain boston and I could easily build a 1 hour routine to replace the shitty kempo class that we only ended up with half of the video for.
Imagine that, a cardio training workout for a fighting style you might actually be able to use in real life!
OH. EVERYONE ELSE NEEDS TO START POSTING SWEATY AFTER WORKOUT PICTURES.
K. bye.
