Indeed.
Plyo for me last night started out a little slow. It's my favorite workout, but after being away for a while, it can get hard again. But I think it's probably the most beneficial of all the workouts. If you did plyo once a week for the rest of your life, you'd probably be set.
It's about a million degrees when I do this workout, so it's Hot Plyo, under normal temperature consitions I don't sweat a ton, but last night I was sweating buckets.
You know, on all of these workouts you only get out what you put in. You can just kind of go through the motions and do it, or you can actually force yourself to do better, which is much harder, but it gives you some satisfaction and better results.
I think that's what happened last night. I was taking it easy kind of, and I said, forget taking it easy, put some effort into it.
For example, on the gap jump, you can just lazily jump around, and I was doing that for the first couple jumps, but then I said friggin jump man. I tried to get my vertical as high as I could. It was a workout. Just jumping with all your strength a few times is tough. But if you dog it, it's not going to matter really.
I had my heart rate up to 178. I think that's the highest i've ever seen it, although i've only been wearing the monitor for a couple of months.
I'm looking forward to a rematch next week. I should be able to crush it like you.
