P90X Plyometrics

I wasnt feeling inventive today when it came to working out. So I went for an oldie but a goodie. It wasnt as hard as I remembered, but Im probably just in better shape :) Anyways, keeping this short, here's the workout. There are 5 rounds, you get up to a 1 minute break between rounds. During each round the exercises are 30 secs work, 30 sec rest and then each round is completed twice. The whole workout, timewise, is a little over 45 minutes.
