Overview
To start the warm up you do several of the agility moves found in the agility tutorials, the audition, conterattack, and on your marks. You then do a quick dynamic warm up, of several warm up/stretch moves, never really stopping to stretch the muscle, known as static stretching. Standing jumps are also featured.
The first third of the workout includes the strength bands around your ankles. You start out with T jumps, then plank leg taps, then X jumps over the ladder, building on the plank leg taps you instead of plank jacks. There are many other moves featured that all either focus and jumping the using the bands to resist the legs, different plank variations, and even agility moves with the band. Many moves have you inside the ladder, forcing you to be technical and stable to make sure you don't move the ladder. The second third of the workout, feature all the jump and ladder moves in a row, 30 seconds each, no rest, but this time without the bands.
The last third of the workout, now includes dumbbells. You start out doing low impact combo moves, such as the squat curl move.This part of the workout focus on dumbbell swings, squat variations, and even includes the crossword agility move. A burpee variation of plank and squats are also featured. The burnout is intense, and has you doing pulses with the dumbbell, 5 minutes 30 seconds of continuous pulses in squat and lunge positions. You then end with the basic cooldown.

The Review
Design
Power legs design includes many different types of leg work. Resisted plyometrics, body weight plyometrics, agility training, and weightlifting. This provides many different leg stimulation. For example, we'll use a vertical jump study, plyometrics alone increased the subjects vertical by 3 centimeters, and weight training increased another subject by 3 centimeters, BUT, the subject who did both plyometrics and weight training, increased more 6 centimeters. What I love about power legs is that not only does it build leg strength, but it also increase leg endurance. On top of that, it builds agility and coordination, not as much as X Trainer though, but it is still a great all around leg workout.
10/10
Difficulty
Any workout you do, if you give it your all, will be hard. That being said, some workouts still vary in difficulty in terms of the type of workout it is and the type of exercises you are doing. Someones vertical jump is the measure of height they get by exerting maximum force on the ground. Plyometrics are a great way to train speed, strength, and power. It is also one of the hardest type of training. If you put everything you have into this workout, you'll find yourself drenched in sweat and your legs will be on FIRE. You will have to jump as high as you can every time, and go as fast as you can through the agility moves including the ladder. People who have any lower body injuries and pain, probably shouldn't do this workout based on the amount of jumping and stress put on the lower body.
5/5
