My wrists ache just thinking about it. Doggone carpal tunnel.
I do plyometrics, too, though. DH bought a book called Core Performance by Lance's trainer, and we bought the rubber tubes and benches and things that are used in the program, but mostly it's all stretching and strength stuff on a mat. I saw huge improvements in my muscle tone in a very short time. I went from doing a 5-second plank to 45-second planks in about a month.
Huge, huge improvements all over, and it did a lot to improve my cycling form, too. I found it extremely effective, but I don't do the power pushups. I really do have carpal tunnel issues.
