I'm a 90 pound weakling!

[elfs]

Today's exercise regime was plyometrics: broad leg movements that include squats and jumping. Surprisingly, my physiotherapist commends this: my sense of balance is terrible, and if I do the form correctly it won't hurt my knees.

The routine is 55 minutes long; I lasted less than half that, about 25, before I just collapsed, unable to go on. It took me 30 minutes after that to fully recover my wits. Still, for 25 minutes I kept my heart rate between 165 and 175, with 180 being the upper maximum for a man my age. For some reason, although there was no armwork at all, my arms are aching. I also think there's a slight pull over the right groin, but that may be a leftover from yesterday's abdominals.

That was exhausting. Grief, I want a better body, but...

"Can this be done without all the sweating?"

Yes, it can. :-)
