Let’s address this “soreness” issue. First you need to understand that just because you weren’t sore DOESN’T mean you/your client aren’t making progress.

Second, you guys maybe in better than average shape, and you only did week 1, if you noticed… it gets harder ever week.

Another reason could be that you were just using your body weight. Grab some dumbbells, or slap on ankle weights. Add some resistance and I assure you that you wont be walking straight the next day.

As for your routine… the 30 second approach instead of repetitions can work. Looks decent but you should track it. Some people work better when they have to hit a rep range, some work better with a time limit because they give it all they have before the clock runs out.

Also, I prefer my rebound jumps instead of the “reaching jump” since your quads are already addressed with Squat Jumps.

Hi FJ – Thanks for the shout out. I did week 1 of your plyo workout last week with a client. Definitely a variation of what I am accustomed to. But I/ we did not feel the soreness I/ we expected. (Maybe we should have done week 3 or 4). I’ll work your routine into 1 of my plyo workouts again this week. Here’s what I normally do:
(30 seconds on/ 30 seconds rest x 3 for each exercise)
1. Alternating Scissor Jumps @ Bench
2. Jump Squats – for speed
3. Calf Raises (single leg)
4. Reaching Jumps – for height (similar to your Rebound jumps – but with more knee bend)

What do you think?
