So day nine... Back to morning workouts. Of course with that comes; "Pour some sugar on me." Wow. Am I really going to get up this morning. I roll over to find my phone and I have no choice in the matter of getting out of bed anymore. Yes I fall out of bed. I know what you are saying " Aaron you sure are falling a lot now days." And to you I say " Yes, yes I am." So I pull my self back up and find my phone and turn off the "Def". Get changed and head down stairs. It is cold today so i through on a jacket and turn on my little space heater.. Open the case of dvds Plyometrics. Oh man, my legs finaly feel normal. Oh well times-a-wastin. Put it in, skip the impending doom warnings and were off. Three minutes later so is the jacket. Wow this warm up is tough. Plyo how I hate thee. Let me count the ways. Into the workout a little ways and Again I am sweating like crazy. This one is one of the toughest things I have ever done. Sets of four exercises, then repeat. One set it pretty hard but two can be down right brutal. Squat and jump. my legs are burning. About thirty minutes in Tony says "Most workouts would be done by now; but not this one." And I completely out of breath yell at the t.v. "Yeah but that wouldn't suit your saddistic ways would it Tony." I now think Tony is psyscic; cause he made me pay for that comment. Squat jacks. You start out doing normaljumping jacks, then you put your hands behind your head and squat down all while still doing jumping jacks. And I am doing this willingly. I'm the saddistic one. Then come for the towel run. Put a towel on the floor and run around it. Now last time I did this I got kinda lazy. I would step an the towel and not move my hips much. So I decide that I need more incentive to do this. My wife has a stuffed puppy down stairs. So I put it on the floor and I run around it. And cause p90x is driving me insane, I am saying "don't step on the puppy." the whole time. Finish with that...twice. It gets to the end of the work out oh yeah that is one heck of a workout. I am sweating like crazy and I still have a full day of work left.
I had an experience that reminds me why I am doing this. Right after my workout last night, I found out that a very good friend passed away. I wasn't something exercise could have steered him away from. But put a comfirmation in my mind that if I don't change how I live; I am putting my self in danger. Tex gave me my first job when I came here to Utah. He was a great friend. He gave me a lot of work alot of fun and alot of laughs. I will always remember you Tex. Thank you far helping me start my life here in Utah. Rest in peace my friend.
You are so clever! This is the best entertainment on the net right now! Love yah!! Keep it up. I just might get inspired and start moving a little myself.

ReplyDeleteMy FM buddy was supposed to do the plyometrics one evening when his hotel room was above mine. I was trying to go to sleep and he was jump squatting and the rest. Thank goodness he went to the pool area to finish.
