Day 16 - Plyometrics or was that training from high school?

In our basement with my wife last night jumping through imaginary tires, over non-existant rivers and doing the Heisman and suddenly I had a flash back to high school football practice and realized that we're doing similar training with Tony's workout to what we had to do back in high school.  But we're now significantly older, have less time and more responsibilities...and this poor old body doesn't stretch, bend and recover like it did back then!

Even still, this workout got the sweat flying and went through a lot of water, I can feel the twitch muscles really getting fired up, not to mention the burn in the thighs on those jump/squat/turn moves.  If at the end of the 90 days i'm even in half the shape i was in high school, it'll be the best shape i've been in a long time, and if i weight the same weight i did back then, well that would be the icing!  And i feel like i'm on that road so here's hoping.

How about that for motivation, to be the same weight and shape you were in back in high school sporty days?  Works for me.  But if that's not enough, then how about the guy in the plyometrics group on the DVD that did all those moves with an artificial leg?  As Tony said if he's doing it on one real leg, then NO EXCUSES from the rest of us!  Good point Tony.

Thanks for Showing Up.
