If I were to compare an hour of Plyometrics and this workout, I'd definitely have to say this is more intense. Something must be said for doing crushing moves for a minute straight as opposed to just 30 seconds. That being said, the routine started off well. I was thinking that I could handle it all the way through, but boy, was I mistaken.
It seemed like I could handle 20 seconds at a time and for the first 2/3 of the workout, I basically did. I really liked the balance moves again, and some oldies but goodies, like the skater and frog jumps. Mixed in with some new twists on some oldies. And of course, some completely new moves.
I was able to hang with the first 6 moves, but then I started losing it with move, 7. Sumo Kick. With the third speed, I had to slow it down a touch, but I almost kept up. I was like a clod with the first two speeds of Run Stance Squats. Just not used to doing it with the step and skip. P90X runs it with the jump and I felt more at home with speed three.
From move 10. Slater Squat, I could not hang for the whole minute. I had to pause after speed 2, then do speed three. That surfer move is intense and popping up from the floor was much harder than I had anticipated. The last four moves, I could not continue for the whole minute. I had to take a breather before the third speed on all of them.
I was sweating like crazy after this workout, and going down the stairs was seriously shaky. My legs were on FIRE! I was wondering why Tony has X3 Yoga before Eccentric Lower, now I know. Now, I'm really scared of Eccentric Lower on Wednesday, but because my schedule is kind of weird this week, I may have to do it with some lower weights than I wanted.
But for today, I'm very satisfied with my work. I didn't hang all the way, but I was able to see room for improvement which is huge for my motivation.
Have a great week everyone!
