30:00 HITT - Plyometrics


Nothing much to say today -- feel pretty good! Gotta stock up on calorie burn today, as tomorrow I'll be going to a Nats game and likely eating/drinking pretty badly. I tell myself I'll get up in the morning and go for a run, but my current record in that regard is something like 0 - 2307462034. I've gotta take the pup to the vet for a few vaccines, so instead of the gym I'll be going to the park with the dog and a ball and jumping up and down for awhile.

Today's workout is taken from BodyRock.TV -- a great fitness website if you can look at it somewhere other than work. Or at work, maybe, if your boss isn't a douchecanoe. Or you have an office or something. Not so good for cube-dwellers like myself. You've been warned? Today's workout can be found here, but I've tripled it (because I have the time to spare) and added some more abs (because I have to be in a bikini in 5 days).

Comments
I can't decide if counting is a good thing for this workout. On the one hand, I know whether I'm going faster or slower than my 'average'. On the other, I hit whatever number happens to be 'normal' for that exercise and I probably give up a little bit. I guess next time I'll have to readjust what I feel is my average number of reps...

Also I should remember to hit the park before dusk. Too many bugs for my general happiness...
