Day 51, Max Interval Plyo

               It’s day 51 of the Insanity program and I still have yet to learn how to “Land Softly.” How the heck do you land softly? Unless you’re a built like a fitness robot or a waif I’m afraid landing softly is one of those fitness myths they tell you in order to keep you feeling inferior. Hard to believe I’ve almost completed the program without knowing this most coveted secret but I have. My feet aren’t happy with me some days but I’m managing to push my way through.
                The little monster woke up early again this morning. We’re getting pretty good at this system now: bean bag chair, blanket, sippey cup, DVD player. He stays mostly content with the animation but this morning I had 20 minutes left of the workout when he decided he was hungry. That cut the exercising to an abrupt end. Almost a year ago he started learning sign language so he could communicate before he started talking so now he combines the two and makes the sign for eat while patting me with the other hand and saying, “Momma, eat… momma, eat… momma, eat!” Not something you can ignore.

Despite not finishing the full workoutI burned 300+ calories and tonight after we get home I’ll be popping in Cardio Abs to make up the difference. Why not complete the Plyo DVD? Because I don’t want to have to jump into the middle of something without warming up and you can bet I won’t be completely redoing the DVD tonight. Cardio Abs makes more sense, it’s about the same time and has its own warm up included.
