Box jumps still mentally trip me up, for that very reason.

300 Watts! And another bruise...
To disable ads, please log-in.
The last set on my Hillacious video has you in your hardest gear, seated for 30 seconds and then standing for 10 seconds. You do this 4 times. My first and last reps I was able to get to and maintain 22 miles an hour for the seated portion. I dropped to 18 when I stood.
Second and third sets, I only got to 20 mph.
Still, I'm pretty happy I can put out that much power, even if it is for just a short time.
I biffed again today jumping onto the 24 inch step. Shawna had put some 12 inch hurdles and the 12, 18 and 24 inch boxes in a row. It was hurdle, box, hurdle, box, hurdle, box, hurdle. Repeat 10 times. On my third round, sixth one, I didn't get my left foot up high enough. I finished out the set, but I was really slow jumping onto the 24. Big bruise there now.

My trainer videotaped herself jumping onto the 36 and then she has a fall. It's down near the bottom of her Facebook page. I'd like to be able to do the 30 inch one. I don't think 36 is in my future.
I was happy that I didn't go back to multiple arm swings after I fell.

I've a problem jumping up on the larger boxes - pretty sure it is a head thing...if the box is higher than my knees then I've a problem persuading my feet to leave the ground. I need to get over that
Congrats on the power Veronica, that is pretty cool!

You definitely have to commit. Sometimes before I start jumping I step up on to the box, just to get a feel for the height.
I know I was jumping a bit high on my last 4. It hurts when you miss!
I'd like to get so I can do the whole set at 22 mph. It doesn't help that it's the last set on the video.

Why is it bruises always hurt more later?

I didn't even notice when Shawna took this picture. The boxes and hurdles are colorful.
