21 Day Fix Bonus Workout Review: Plyo Fix

"The time has come," the Walrus said, "to wrap up the 21 Day Fix reviews."  Yes, we have reached the last review of the 21 Day Fix program--it is time for Plyo Fix!  This workout is included if you purchase the 21 Day Fix program from teambeachbody.  Now, let's jump (pun intended) right into it!

Autumn's Inspirational Quote of the Day:  "You can do anything"
This witch lovely lady is really going to test you on that one today

Equipment:  none (oh, good, another workout with no weights, because that worked out so well the last time...)

Total Workout Time:  31:18

Set up:  6 circuits, 2 exercises each circuit, repeated, 30 seconds per exercise, followed by a 30 second rest

Exercises:
Warm-up (around 3 and a 1/2 minutes):  jog, jumping jacks, windmills (arm circles front and back), over the tops (side lunge and reach overhead to the side right and left), alternating toe taps (legs straight, touch opposite toe); repeat.

Circuit 1:  2 exercises, repeated, 30 seconds each
Squat Jumps:  sink down into squat position and jump straight back up
One-legged Squat Jump-R:  same as a squat jump except you do it on one leg, first round on the right, then on the left.

   

Repeat

Circuit 2:  2 exercises, repeated, 30 seconds each
Tuck Jumps:  feet apart in squat position, sink down into squat and as you come up, pull your knees up to your chest
Frog Jumps:  feet together, toes turned out, fingers reaching towards the floor, jump straight up and sink back down
Repeat

Circuit 3:  2 exercises, repeated, 30 seconds each
Burpee Push-up:  just when you thought burpees couldn't get any more fun...hands down to the ground, jump back into plank, perform a push up, jump knees in, stand or jump up

         

Plyo Push-up:  get down into push-up position, lower down, and as you come up, pop hands up off the floor
Repeat

Circuit 4:  2 exercises, repeated, 30 seconds each  (This is the active recovery set.  So enjoy it, because you never know what's coming next.)
Moguls:  jump to one side and twist hips and knees to the opposite wall, jump to the other side
Skater Jumps:  jump to one side with the opposite leg behind, jump to the other side switching legs
Repeat

Circuit 5:  2 exercises, repeated, 30 seconds each  (What did I tell you?  Now we're back to lunges.)
Jumping Lunges:  one leg forward, the other leg back, drop into a lunge position, then switch legs and continue jumping deep into the lunge position
Jumping Lunges with a Twist:  face one wall with one leg forward, the other leg back and drop into a lunge position.  Now jump, switch legs, and face the other wall.  Form is really crucial with this one, make sure to watch your knees.
Repeat

Circuit 6:  2 exercises, repeated, 30 seconds each
Full Hops:  in a plank position, hop your body to the right and then the left (Autumn does a hop-jump, where she slides one arm and one leg in to meet the other as she hops right and left).

         

Sumo Jumps:  (oy, with the jumping already) in the sumo squat position, with legs wide and toes pointing out, go down into a squat, then jump straight up
Repeat

Cooldown:  just under 3 minutes

Personal Opinions and Difficulty:  Wow, and just like that, you're done!  Yeah, right.  This is one tough workout!  I actually think this program could be in Extreme, it's that hard!  This is my favorite type of workout so I love this one!  Quick, intense bursts of cardio, while also working the major muscle groups (the legs) are a great way to get results fast.  It is a challenging workout, but this is right up my alley!  Plus, with the 30 second rest, it gives you a chance to recover without really dropping the heart rate.  I sub this for Cardio Fix in the regular rotation.
Difficulty: 5/5 Did you notice the word "jump" in just about every move? 
Enjoyment:  5/5 This is a workout in which I love to challenge myself and see if I can push to the next level.
Overall:  5/5  Definitely a fabulous, intense workout to challenge the entire body, cardio and muscles.  If you don't have this workout, you can purchase it separately from the teambeachbody website.  It's a great addition to the program!
