No Bike Monday...

...instead, I did P90X Plyometrics.

The weather on Monday was ok, but the ground was wet, and there were some slick spots.  It was also a bit late in the afternoon, I would have gotten stuck on the trail in the dark without any lights, which are on my list of things to get.  Plyometric exercises or jump training are supposed to produce fast, explosive, powerful movements.  The exercises are intense, high impact, and not for the faint of heart.  The exercise was about an hour long including warm up and cool down, and my heart rate probably averaged around 160, all in the comfort of my own home.

If you're looking to improve athletic performance, plyometrics is a great exercise to consider.  I did it on Monday, because it gives me a great workout.  My legs get worked, and so do my lungs.
