Day 30 - Plyometrics

PlyoX

Alright so I have not seen this workout routine for two weeks. This is a killer routine, if done properly. The first time I did it, I did everything that was asked like it was asked for and it nearly killed me. If you remember the second time and third times around I had to modify because my left calf was having issues, but I still rocked it. Now if you remember a week ago, my right calf started with issues. Yesterday I did the jumping jacks and I had no problems, I thought to myself, cool I am ready for tomorrow. Well everything was fine till mid workout, during the mother of all jumps called jump knee tuck, you have to jump really high tuck your knees up in the air and then land on your toes. Well towards the end my right calf let me know it was there. I thought CRAP! NOT NOW! AND NOT AGAIN! well needless to say I did not stop and I modified yet again, what I did for jumps was either A) Place most of the weight on the left leg, I felt bad for it LOL or B)Use the muscle of my upper legs, squat a bit more, use the inertia of my torso as well and propel myself up and land very close to flat foot, and use my hamstring to cushion the landing and trying to make the cushioning long so it wont put a strain.

Now my main purpose with all this is to continue to workout and burn those calories, I have my mind set that I need to loose the darn Buddha belly and I am not letting anything get in my way LOL. But at the same time I am watching myself to try and not get hurt badly.

Well all in all, it was still a fantastic workout, heart rate was up there and I was sweating buckets, I mean my shirt was completely drenched, so I know I was still working hard.

Tomorrow I have Back and Biceps + Ab Ripper X, And I will BRING IT!!

Thank you for your time:

Mike
