June 4, 201313 yr Author Max Interval Plyo--done When I tell people that I'm doing this program, I have heard them say that it's bad for the knees. I have not had any problems. Also heard from a gym teacher at the elementary school that it's bad for the back. No problems for me so far.

Also heard from a gym teacher at the elementary school that it's bad for the back. No problems for me so far. What about it would be bad for the knees or back?
June 4, 201313 yr Author What about it would be bad for the knees or back? Knees---lots of jumping, lots of squats. So if you are not using good form on the squats and if you are not it shape at all, I could see there being knee pain. I had some knee pain when I first started working out in January---but no problems now. Back---Not sure. Maybe all the variations of push-ups and level 1 drills? Some of the AB work, if not using good form, could hurt the back, I guess?
June 5, 201313 yr Last night did 10rounds of 12 pull ups and 12 burpees for time. Pretty sore this morning.
June 5, 201313 yr Welp Hoops and NCF have inspired me to take my cardio up a notch and totally overhaul my month of June. I did Insanity 2xs last week, sprinted once, and walked twice. Starting this past week and continuing through the month, I will be doing 3 days of Insanity, one day of sprints, and two days of walking on top of lifting Monday, Thursday, and Saturday. Gotta get down below 210 w/ 205 as my target.

Plan to run and use the weight room over vacation, just enough so it's not like starting over when I return.

I'm rotating those two.
June 5, 201313 yr I get absolutely no joy from burpees.Anyone who does needs their head examined. I personally would like to find who invented them and punch them in the mouth. Why? That is impressive though I was asking myself that at about round 6. In all seriousness I actually did better then I thought I would. Finished with a time of 17:25. I could of done a little better but the pull up bar got pretty sweaty and kept having to take extra time to chalk.
June 5, 201313 yr Author I'm just hanging w/ Pure Cardio followed by cardio abs and then the Plyo circuit. I'm rotating those two. I really like the cardio abs. In less than 20 managable minutes you get a nice ab workout.
June 8, 201313 yr Did the fit test for the third time Numbers up in 6 of 8 exercises, but down in two. Not good enough.
