Book Reviews of Progressive Plyometrics for Kids [With DVD]

Book Review: Safe Exercise Routines that Generate Results!
Summary: 5 Stars

I would rate this book and dvd higher if I could! I purchased it to help my 10 year old son develop better strength, speed and agility for football season. He plays center and nose tackle and is a little over 5 feet tall and about 125 lbs. Last year (his first playing tackle football), he didn't have great movement and didn't make many tackles. After going through this program in 6 weeks, he took almost a full second off his 25 yard dash time, added 8 inches to his standing broad jump and 3 inches to his vertical leap.
The system consists of 3 progressive levels of 15 exercises each: bronze, silver and gold. Any child could comfortably start with the bronze level and move on to silver in 2 or 3 weeks. The authors recommend 2 sessions per week with adequate rest between sessions. Each session took us between 30 minutes and an hour to complete, depending on the number of sets used for each exercise. The exercises are thoroughly explained in the book, but you also get the added bonus of the dvd which clearly demonstrates each exercise. My son and I both had fun with the program and will use it again for off season training.

Summary of Progressive Plyometrics for Kids [With DVD]

Three of the most respected and sought-after specialists in the field of exercise and physical conditioning, Donald A. Chu, Avery D. Faigenbaum, and Jeff E. Falkel, present this comprehensive, progressive, cost effective, and developmentally appropriate program of plyometric exercises specifically designed for younger athletes.

This book with free DVD begins with easy-to-understand and apply principles, methods, and modes of plyometrics, and offers keys to training success and program design. It then outlines a clear six-week progressive plyometric program, divided into three stages: bronze, silver, and gold. Each of the exercises in the three stages are described in complete detail, including equipment needed, a point-by-point action sequence, and movement-specific coaching points. Multiple clear photographs accompany each exercise.

The remarkable and easy-to-navigate 58-minute free DVD that comes with the book allows you to see this all-star team of trainers explain the 45 exercises from the progressive program. Then watch as they coach young athletes through each of the activities in real time, giving coaching points and tips to insure maximum results. Ideal for coaches, teachers, and parents of young athletes at any age and any ability level.
