Day 37 - Max Cardio Plyo

I've been a bit sore all day from yesterdays fitness test AND hour work out. My legs were tight and aching, so I was a bit hesitant about today's workout.

Today was Max Cardio Plyo which lasted for 55 minutes. What's good is that all the exercises are new. Even the warm up exercises are new. The format is similar to the first month though - warm up (10 mins), stretch (5 mins), the main workout and finish off with stretching.

I am finding the new exercises difficult at the moment, probably because there are new techniques to learn. A lot of the exercises require good concentration in order to get the balance correct. Once again the format is the same though with about 3-4 mins of exercises then 30 secs of rest (God do you look forward to those rests!!).
Tonight was really tough, for a few reasons. There were a lot of new exercises. The session lasted for an hour. The exercises are a lot tougher. But above all I can say I did it and I feel ok after doing it.

I've gone back through the video and listed what exercises I could do with no problems, what I need to improve on and which ones I really hate. The hate list mainly include push up type exercises, so I hope I can improve on these.

What I liked
Switch Jumps
Squat Push Ups
Power Jumps
Pogo
Globe Twists
Power Knees / Diamond Jumps

What I can get better at
Wide In & Out Abs
Side Push Ups
Kickstand Touch the Floor

What I hated
Power Push-Ups - these are really difficult. It's a push up, whereby on the up movement you then jump up into a bent over position.
Level 3 Drills - 16 push ups, 16 runs. Oh My God. These Hurt.
Push Up Balance - this is push ups on one hand and one leg. I failed miserably on it. This is going to take a lot of practise to get right.


One other thing, I reckon I'm down 1 or 2 days of my Recovery drink. I tried to order more today but its out of stock. I hope its back in soon because I really need this to get me ready for the next day.
