plyo...what?

Plyometrics.
My new favorite word.
It just sounds so cool..."I did a plyometrics workout today!!"
The workout? One of my faves so far.
Still can't really move my upper body (tiny confession...I did only half of the chest/arms workout...I just could not face the second half...either try and die or call it a day)
Here is a guy doing the whole plyometrics workout...each excercise was 30-60seconds and there were 2 sets of each...the vid is obviously condensed as the entire thing takes 50 minutes but the hell excersice is at about 2:23 (just try it for one minute)...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLK4RQYcyXQ
Don't think i could have managed as good as I did if I haven't been running and biking all summer! This P90X is not for the faint of heart...

"This is the workout that will kick you panties off!" Haahahahahaha!!! Love it!

That looks brutal. And why is it some old guy doing this. Why isn't it some hot triathlete chick? Who has had her panties kicked off?????? I'm just asking.

i love the plyometrics one too. kicks arse. can't stand the dude doing the talking. or rather, i'm sure he's super nice, and i'm glad he put together the dvd and all, but sometimes he comments are groansville! haha. still, it's an awesome workout hands down! i will be getting back into my p90x once all this tri stuff is done like dinna. lol

Plyometrics my butt -- you should try a couple of rounds of Wii boxing, topped off with a couple of games of Wii bowling -- I thought I was fit! LMAO!!!!
