Bound Beyond 2.0 - Jump & Plyometric Program

Goal: This 8-week advanced jump & plyometric program is designed to take your speed, power, and reactivity to the next level. Whether you’ve completed the introductory program Bound to Run or are coming in fresh, this program will challenge your lower body strength, elastic stiffness, and neuromuscular coordination to make you faster and more explosive.

The framework: You’ll train two times per week, with each session lasting about 20-30 minutes. Sessions can be performed before or after a run or strength workout, depending on your schedule and preference. The training progresses strategically - beginning with foundational bodyweight jumps, advancing through stair and horizontal plyometrics, and peaking with loaded, high-intensity power work. This approach helps you build elastic strength and explosive control safely, without overloading your joints or nervous system.

Session structure: Each session begins with a general warmup, including light cardio and dynamic mobility, to get your body primed. Feel free to adjust the warmup to your needs - the goal is to enter the main workout ready to move explosively and safely.

Equipment: Some exercises incorporate light equipment such as a plyo box or bench, a barbell or a set of dumbbells to increase load and challenge stability. If you prefer, these can be swapped for bodyweight variations - the program is flexible to meet you where you are.

Video instructions: All exercises come with demonstration videos to ensure correct form, safety, and efficiency.
