    Well, in the quest to shake things up, I got to thinking about how I really wanted to blast legs and back, but I needed a change from LEGS/BACK that’s in P90X.  I had Plyo Legs from the One on One series, but I wasn’t really feeling that workout today either – so, I came up with my own little hybrid of PLYO LEGS and BACK – all rolled together in one little monster of a workout!

    My friend Anson is coming over in about an hour to join me for a workout today, but he has no idea what I have in store for us!  I just created this workout, and its never been done before – so it should work wonders for making us hobble around by later today!

    Give it a try yourself, and let me know what you think!
