Plyometrics not as tough this time, but still a bitch...

So this morning's workout went great, even though I didn't sleep much last night.  I think knowing what's coming in a workout makes it less difficult, at least mentally.  If I know prior that I'm gonna get my ass kicked by a workout, then I can deal with it better when the big boot comes.  I actually made it through a good percentage of the exercises, with good form.  I did have to take quite a few breaks though, and my nemesis, Mary Katherine Lunges were back with a vengeance.

My legs felt less tight and more flexible this time through as well.  Perhaps this is from the yoga since I skipped the stretch to begin my workouts a day early this week.  Who knows, but I think I'll do the Stretch tomorrow evening to loosen up for yoga on thursday.

Anyhow, I've got a few basic measurements here and I plan on getting a scale this weekend so I can keep track of my weight (loss?).

Waist - 33 3/4"  (yikes, I remember my waist being 3" less than that not a few months ago)
Left Bicep  - 15 1/2"
Right Bicep - 15 3/4"
Chest - 42"

I was going to do heart rate too but I forgot to do it first thing.  Maybe tomorrow.

Anyhow, it was an overall great, yet disgustingly hard workout this morning and on to make my guns a bit bigger tomorrow morn.  Yay.

Remember to think like a cat for the plyo, HA.

  1. Mr. Barrett, Good work with the blog and new workout. I've recently become obsessed with a CrossFit gym here in Indy. Finally working on getting into shape (at least a not round shape). Just wanted to say good luck and I'll be interested to hear how things go.
