PLYOS -Mitzi

We did Plyos today. Ply-whats? Well, according to Wikipedia....the end all be all of online knowledge, it says that Plyometrics is a type of exercise that uses explosive movements to develop muscular power, the ability to generate a large amount of force quickly. It may be used, for example, to improve the effectiveness of a boxer's punch, or to quicken the throwing ability of a baseball pitcher. Plyometric training acts on both the musculotendinous and neurological levels to increase an athlete's power output without necessarily increasing their maximum strength output.


Here are some illustrations of things we did...lots of jumping, hurdles, basketball shooting, jump roping and apparently we had imaginary cones too.




I felt strong today! I had lots of energy afterwards. It was my day off....so I went home and walked the dog, washed clothes and cleaned the kitchen. It was kinda a bummer to have to wake up so early on my day off....but hey, it's only 4 Fridays....and it's worth it! The weekend is here...we have a personal mission to accomplish tomorrow...that is after I go on a bike ride with Jane and Diane! I'm crazy in the head!!
