Plyometrics
Oh, dear jump training, let me count the ways I hate thee.
Is it normal when you feel like your legs are literally going to fall off your body? Because it’s been normal for me for about 65 days now. Just when my body starts to adjust to the pain, Mr. Tony Horton throws a whole other kind of hurt on me.
However, I will say that I have already seen results that have amazed me during P90X. I’m not some huge ripped guy or anything, but considering where I started before I did Power 90, I’m officially astounded. And I still have 25 days left. I’m absolutely kicking butt during my workouts (and they’re kicking my butt in the process), and I know that if I keep this up, the final 25 days will amaze me even more.
But there is something that’s been sort of funny to me during all of this. The results I’ve gotten have surprised me, and more so, they have surprised other people around me. Especially when I see people who haven’t been around me constantly but know that I’ve been doing this program.
They know (and I know) that I’ve been exercising 6 or 7 days a week, eating an extremely clean diet (except for a few marginal days the past couple of weeks), and working my butt off. Hmm…who could have expected that by eating right and exercising, I would lose weight and get in better shape? Why is this so surprising?
Seriously…I’m asking. Why is this so surprising? Because it even surprises me, and I’m the one doing it. I don’t understand it.
Just like when we started going through Dave Ramsey’s baby steps and started to pay off debt and have a plan for our money. Why was it so surprising that things started to work for us financially?
Are we so jaded that even when we do common sense things, we’re surprised when we see the proven results actually happen?
Just some thoughts. I know I kind of rambled today, but that is what was on my mind.
And hey, it’s my blog after all.
