Plyometric as in P90X Plymetrics – The Mother of All Workouts

Daily Fit Tips

P90X Plyometrics is a jump training Beachbody workout. Plyo X is an hour of plyometric training, exercise and drills. More plyometric workouts are available from Beachbody though in the One on One series, Turbofire, Insanity and Asylum.

Plyometric workouts are designed to improve athletic performance through a series of airborne exercises that increase speed and power. For an athlete, this means running faster, jumping higher, and navigating in multiple directions with ease. The word plyometrics refers to small measurable improvements and is also commonly known as jump training.

“If your game involves a court, field, track, mat, pool, ring, rink, or mountain, Plyometrics can help.” P90X Fitness Guide

The P90X Plymetrics workout is about an hour of over 30 plyometric drills. I have to warn you that next to P90X Yoga X, this is one of the toughest workouts in P90X and may not be for everyone. You may actually develop a love/hate relationship with this routing during your first round of P90X. Hang in there. It does get easier with time.

Because plyometric exercise involves jumping, I recommend investing in a good pair of cross training court shoes and a shock absorbant mat. You don’t want to wear running or walking shoes because they are made for forward movement. You need a pair of shoes you would wear on a basketball or volleyball court. They offer support forward and back but also in the lateral direction.

You can get a shock absorbant mat from the Teambeachbody Store or buy the puzzle locking matts from a local department store. Just make sure you have enough to cover a nice space as you will be moving around a lot as you do each plyometrics exercise.

P90X Plyometrics is not your only choice for jump training in Beachbody workouts these days. Indeed, plyometric training is now in some of the P90X One on One individual workouts, Insanity, Turbofire, and The Asylum. It started with P90X plyo; then, this proven training technique creaped into later programs.

P90X Plyometrics is not as hard for me as it was in the beginning. I have to say if you really want to focus on plyometric training and sports conditioning, look at Insanity The Asylum. The whole 30 day program is based on plyometric workouts. This is a tough workout and should only be chosen by those who have completed a program like P90X, Insanity, or Turbofire.
