Default Plyo legs - oh my!

I just finished week 1 of Meso 3 plyo legs. I had no idea this was going to be so hard! By the time I was done, I was sweat drenched. I opted to do the plyo instead of the squat rack this time even though I bought the tower. Now I'm rethinking this, but Cathe says to stick with what you started with, but boy is it hard?

Can anybody share their experiences with this?

Oh, yeah! I just finished STS yesterday. I did both squat rack & plyo legs with 3 days' rest in between. I had the same reaction! The 2nd week was a bit easier, but not much!

I just finished this same disk a little while ago and thought I was gonna have to pause the DVD and go puke! It was much tougher than I anticipated. I'm scared for the remaining weeks! Wow!!

This one gave me a run for my money as well. I definitely underestimated the power of plyos!

If it helps any, I think that workout is the hardest of the plyo leg workouts. For some reason, week 1 always kicks my butt more than any of the other weeks. So hang in there!!

I wish so badly that plyo legs could be bought separately! I saw the preview on this sight and ....wow! Looks tough but will whip legs into shape!

I was going to say the same thing. In the subsequent plyo workouts, even though some of the footage is repeated, there does seem to be more rest time which makes the workouts easier. The first one just seems more compressed and therefore harder.

Default Plyo Legs!

I'm now on M3 and did the first plyo leg workout last week and loved the burn! I was so looking forward to this week, but have been battling a cold so giving my body the rest it seems to need. Hoping to repeat the first week of M3 starting on Monday.
