Plyo-WHAT?

Plyometrics is defined as a type of exercise training designed to produce fast, powerful movements, and improve the functions of the nervous system, generally for the purpose of improving performance in sports. Plyometric movements, in which a muscle is loaded and then contracted in rapid sequence, use the strength and elasticity of muscle and surrounding tissues to jump higher, run faster, throw farther, or hit harder, depending on the desired training goal. Plyometrics is used to increase the speed or force of muscular contractions, providing explosiveness for a variety of sport-specific activities.

Today's circuit was a lower body plyometric routine. I can only describe it in one word--HARD.  I was sweating like R. Kelly at a High School cheerleading practice.  I swear I have not sweat that much in a long time.  I know that my butt is going to burn tomorrow.  Here is the routine:

1. Walking Lunges --15 per leg holding 12 lbs weights (  This is officially the exercise that I hate the most)
2. Box Jump--15
3. Lateral Bound aka Speed Skater --20
4. Bench Step-Up--15 per leg
5. One-Arm Stiff-Legged Dead Lift --15 holding a 15 lbs weight
6. Toe Raise on Step
7. 5 minutes on the treadmill

Repeat 4x

Crazy!  Just typing it is making me sweat.

  I went to a restaurant with my friend for lunch, I was cautious about what I ate but I still feel gross.  I think there was milk/creme in one of the dishes.  Hopefully this does not affect weight in tomorrow, things have been so good.

Tonight I am going to see Alice in Wonderland in 3D, so excited!  I just watched the new video for Telephone by Lady Gaga and Beyonce, interesting concept (Lady Gaga is in Jail and all the inmates dress as "funky" as her).  I have to give them credit for originality.  If like Lady Gaga and/or Beyonce (Tyrese Gibson is also in it for a minute) head over to my best friend YouTube and check it out.  I think that I will have to add the song to my workout list.

What song are you currently feeling on your iPod/MP3?
