A little backstory: I had knee surgery 3 years ago. One of my kneecaps had this nasty habit of dislocating on occasion. Truly painful. So, I had a damaged ligament replaced.

Fast forward three years, I'm still working on getting strength back in my left leg (not that it was every truly there to begin with). I'm also trying to build up my confidence in my knee and trying to do what my PT recommended--plyometrics. For someone with knee problems, the words "explosive" and "jumping" make me a little queasy, but I'm getting better at it.

I have done the P90X plyometrics routine and (besides the first time that it made me puke...) I enjoy it. But I am someone who really likes to get my workouts in in 20 minutes. (I also walk for 60 minutes a day, so I get about 80 mins total).

So, today I did these two videos back to back. I am sweating like crazy and I definitely got in some PT-recommended training. Check them out:
