P90X Review Plyometrics (Day 23 - Phase 1)

Plyometrics really gets my heart pumping.  The first couple of weeks I really dreaded this P90X workout, now I’m getting a little more accustomed to the high impact jumping.  I say a little more because I have a better pair of shoes, but my knees are still taking a beating.  When I make it through this program, I may have to really modify the stress my knees are enduring jumping up and down. The crackand creak throughout the workout and they are sore for most of the day.  I’m afraid that if I modify it too much, I’ll diminish the aeorobic benefits of the exercises.  I wouldn’t be able keep my heart rate in the zone. What does Tony mean by “are you in the zone?”  He’s referring to the heart rate zone.  Here’s a graphic I borrowed frrom the Beachbody message board to help you figure out the right heart zone for P90X Plyometrics.  I like to keep it in the 70-80% of my Maximum Heart Rate.  The easiest way to calculate your maximum heart rate is with the following formula:

217 - (your age × 0.85) = MHR

What zone (%) does everyone else shoot for?

How to use p90x correctly ?

The p90x program is very intense and I would strongly advise you to purchase the literature at least to avoid injury, overtraining and other issues that may arise if you have not been properly educated on the P90X protocol. You may choose to go on their website for more information as well.

The frequency really does depend on your level of fitness and recovery. I can do a video every day because there are enough variations for me to avoid overtraining, but this is purely subjective. Rule of thumb is to let a least one day of rest for smaller muscle groups (shoulders/arms) and two days of rest for larger muscle groups (legs/chest/back).

You can maxmize your progress by filling the rest days with kenpo, core synergistics, yoga, x-stretch and plyometrics (although plyometrics is no filler and you really need to be on top of your game for that one).

It really is a very intense program for even those who are fit. Take it slow, take it easy and ramp up your intensity because if you try and do what they do at the same intensity and frequency from the get go, you’re asking for a world of hurt.

If you subscribe to the program, and commit to the protocol, you will see results in less than 30 days…big results in 60 days and results that will blow you away in 90 days.

And although you already have a duplicated copy of the videos, I will tell you honestly, it’s certainly worth the money for the literature that accompanies the program.

Good luck
