P90X- Plyometrics

This is a the most fun I have had in a workout since Kenpo X but that’s only if you like jumping.  The video consists of almost 1 hour of non stop cardio jumping.   A lot of people always ask me if you can get hurt doing P90x and I say no unless you don’t stretch properly.  You can get hurt doing anything but I guess this would be the workout out of all the DvD’s.  In this workout you will need nothing besides a lot more room than usually needed and 8 ft ceilings.  No weights, no bands, no pull up bar!  I always loved this workout because I play soccer and man does it get your legs ready for running.  After about a 6 minutes stretch your flight begins and doesn’t stop for 45 minutes straight.

Consisting of more than 30 explosive, high-intensity jumping moves, this effective cardio routine has been proven to dramatically improve athletic performance.  Also known as the “jump training” workout, the P90X Plyometrics routine will push you to your limits and beyond.

Tony starts you off slow by doing several squats and several combination’s of squats.  The fun begins when you start twisting and turning and jumping as high as possible.  Did I mention one the guys working out in the video has a prosthetic leg!

Exercises during this workout include: Jump Squats, Run-stance Squats, Airborne Heisman, Swing Kick, Squat Reach Jump, Run-stance Squat Switch Pick-up, Double Airborne Heisman, Circle Run, Jump Knee Tucks, Mary Katherine Lunges, Leapfrog Squats, Twist Combo, Rock Star Hop, Gap Jump, Squat Jacks, Military March, Run Squat 180 Jump Switch, Lateral Leapfrog Squats, Monster Truck Tires, Hot Foot, Pitch & Catch, Jump Shot, Football Hero

Conclusion

Unless you are already used to high intensity cardiovascular training, the P90X Plyometrics program is going to be an extreme challenge for you the first few times you go through it.  Even if you regularly do other types of cardiovascular training, this workout is very intense, and very challenging.

Once you start to get used to it, and build up your strength and endurance, you can still easily crank the intensity right back up by jumping higher or farther, and/or by speeding up the repetitions of the exercises.

Don’t kill yourself the first time out when you do this workout, but DO give it everything that you’ve got on an on-going basis. This one workout alone will probably burn more calories and do more for your cardiovascular fitness than any other workout that most people have ever been exposed to.
