Plyometrics has become one of my favorite P90X workouts over the past seven weeks… and most adventurous… but more on that in a later journal entry.

For now, here’s my first plyo post:

Day 2: Plyometrics

When I woke up this morning, my chest and back were quite sore… in a good way. So, I must have done something right yesterday.

I feel like I did a little better today in regard to keeping up with Tony & Co. Although, it was definitely easier to take it easy today and keep up, as I just didn’t squat down quite as deep or jump quite as high as Tony & Co.

To be brief, plyometrics (“plyo” for short) is essentially jumping exercises. So, lots of jumping today.

Tony really emphasizes the importance of landing softly and properly, which I appreciate, as it is easy for me to tweak my neck with too much impact… and plyo is definitely high impact.

Also, I realized today that, while I had anticipated this, the ceiling in the garage (where I am working out) is a little low for plyometrics. While I made some reasonable adjustments, I worry that this may become more of a problem as I progress through the program.
