Yes, I've been completely out of the routine of working out since I got back from Thanksgiving. I have to admit it's difficult for me to get motivated to do something I know I'm not good at; although doing it more would make me better at it! So I've found a lot of things to keep me distracted from working out ... like working, preparing the house for Christmas, cleaning, etc.
But after a well-intentioned, stining comment from Tony I decided I was not going to let our upcoming trip stop me from getting back into it ... even one day is better than nothing. So this morning I put the Plyometrics DVD in the player and got to it. I've said it before, this could easily be my favorite workout ... if it weren't for the fact that it kicks my butt BIG TIME!
I'd like to interject that our son is doing the DVDs too. He's plays club and high school soccer and is generally a pretty fit guy. So let me admit it was pretty nice to see him struggling with this workout ... and I even had a little bit of satisfaction when the next day he was taking the stairs very slowly because his thighs hurt. Let that be an example of just how difficult these workouts are. Even if you're in shape for one type of activity, it will find your weaknesses and exploit them.
So anyways, I did the workout. I will admit to a few moves where I had to stop a few second short or do the low-impact move, but with the exception of the "bonus" exercises I completed it all. My BodyBugg says I burned 281 calories in the 58 minutes of the workout. I'm sure that if you kept up completely and did the bonus you could easily get this to 350 ... so I'll get that as a goal.
For the next few days I may make comment about working out, or not, aswe're headed to Hawaii in the morning. I'd much rather talk about that ... and you'd probably like to hear more about that as well.
Day 26 down, 78 days to go.
