Plyometrics

While in Kitchener, i consider riding my bike everywhere i go as cardio. i hate running cause i think running on a treadmill is boring and i don't want to take a spin class cause well.....i "spin" as my transportation. So basically, my workouts consist of increasing my total body strength so i can mash things up during the softball season. Chicks dig the long ball, my friends. Julie has the shirt that i gave her that dave gave me to prove it.


Ladies and gentlemen, i present to you 8-time Mr. Olympia Champion, Ronnie Coleman. This man is 42 years old! He won the olympia not just 8 times, but 8 consecutive times! He is totally juiced like all the olympia contestants but you still have to respect them for their comittment and hard work. The muscles don't just magically grow from the drugs!

This past Christmas holiday, i was informed that some of the young kids at church could jump so high that they could touch this part in our church that was about 10 feet tall (i.e. J. Szeto & J. Tenefrencia). Upon hearing this, i attempted to touch this said part of our church and i failed miserably over and over....and over again.

This past Christmas holiday, i also dropped by our church's gym night on saturday evenings. i played a bit of basketball and realized that what jumping ability and quickness that i used to have has deteriorated quite a bit. In an effort to compensate during the basketball games, i used my strength and positioning to play defense and my strength and aggressiveness to flagrant foul anyone trying to get a layup or jump over me (i.e. J. Szeto).

Ladies and Gentlemen, i present to you Mr. Kenyon Martin. The NBA's flagrant foul king and one of the hardest, dirtiest and aggressive dunkers in the NBA.

After that saturday i felt old. In fact i felt so old and defeated that i'm cancelling my gym membership and am deciding not to play softball this summer.

YEA RIGHT! Did little, 8 month old baby Jesus, in his one-piece linen diaper with his silky, satinny hair quit when he was being chased around for his life? NO!....i don't think so. This is what i did: i decided to add plyometrics to my workout routine. Its a fun form of cardio and it will also help me to jump over buildings. Shake and Bake!

Here's a link to what plyometrics is and some exercises that you can do so that we can become superheroes together.

With these new found powers, i will not only be quick like a cat and finally be able to touch the rim, i will also be able to paint the future and bend the space time continuum.

Now wasn't that educational for those of you who don't follow bodybuilding, basketball, Will Ferrell or Heroes?
