Plyo Legs Did Me In

[LaughingWater]

I previewed Plyo Legs a couple of weeks ago, doing just the plyo work as a quick HIIT workout for cardio. Today it came up on my official rotation and I kid you not, it nearly killed me.

First I paused a bit between exercises.

Then I started cutting down some of the plyo reps.

Then I cut down some of the weight reps.

Feeling faint and ready to barf, I had to actually quit and watch from my passed-out position on the floor as the rest of the crew did the 4 remaining exercises.

My hat is off to the STS crew and the rest of you who made it through that workout. I'd like to blame it on the fact that I donated blood on Sunday, but it's Wednesday!

Thank you, Cathe, for making such kick butt workouts!

Lori I feel your pain. I did the 2nd plyo legs today. I was kind of dreading it because the first plyo legs was hard. I got into and was doing fine. We got to the last 6 exercises and I started modifying and cheating. Just call me a big ole cheater. Yes mam! I got it all done to the best of my ability. I swear Cathe and crew are made of solid muscle and have hearts that must have a RHR of 1 beat per day. Thought I was gonna die. But here I am telling my pitiful story. Just think, I'm gonna do it all over next week and the week after that.....then I'm done, Yay!!

At some point, it has to get easier! (That's what I keep telling myself anyway.)

Happy new year, everyone!

I just did plyo legs 1 (meso 3) for the first time this morning. I was speechless for a while afterwards (partly because I was still catching my breath!). This was a really tough cardio workout for me, along the lines of 30/30 but longer! Hats off to Cathe and crew. Thanks again for a great workout and keeping us humble.

I'm getting scared! At least I'm only starting Meso 2 on Monday, so I'll have plenty of time to forget all of this before I get to plyo legs!

Thanks for the heads up!

I love Pylo legs -- it's one of the few times I looked forward to leg days!

Meso 2 legs are not much better. Those tri-sets are KILLER! I have done STS 2 times, once as 6 mo and once undulating. I had serious DOMS after Meso 2 legs every time. I am starting the new STS/Shock Cardio Rotation and I am not looking forward to Meso 2 legs at all!!!

I just did the 1st Plyo Legs this morning. Even though I previewed the workout beforehand, I had no clue what I was getting myself into! I can usually supplement any STS workout with HIIT following soon after....yeah SO not the case this morning! OWIE!!!!
