P90x PlyometricsI’m 16 days into the P90x workout, today’s routine is plyometrics. This was my third time doing this workout routine and I did much better than the previous 2 times. I did not pause the dvd halfway thorough to catch my breath like I did the first 2 times doing plyometrics. And I was actually able to keep the same pace as Tony Horton in the video.

By the end of the workout I was covered in sweat, which is a good thing. The P90x plyometric workout is mostly a cardio workout, but it still exhausts the leg and core muscles from all of the jumping around. Plyometrics is also know as “jump training”.  My least favorite move of the plyometric workout is the rockstar jumps. The rockstar jumps are when you jump in the are and kick up your feet behind you but also to the side at a 45 degree angle while holding one hand in place and rotating the other arm in a circle. The rotation of the arm is for balance but also simulates the strumming of a guitar, which is where this move gets its name. You have to really get some height on this jump and it is near the end of the workout so it gets to be pretty tough.
