Yesterday, while doing Max Interval Plyometrics, I inadvertantly started the video selecting the “play without music” option. I have to say, that when you do these routines over and over again, ANY change is refreshing. In particular, I enjoyed hearing all the huffing and puffing that had been masked over by the music. Somehow, the pain is easier to endure knowing that they’re suffering too. Schadenfreude, I believe, is the word.
So I have to recommend giving the “no music” option a try, if only to mix up the routine a bit. Wow, the heart was pumping yesterday:
