Plyometrics

[Catrin]

I love doing plyometrics. Today's activities were to jump onto a step - first round nine steps, increase a step each round - jump off the step and then immediately jump across two 14 inch hurdles. Not hurdling though, jumping.

My other plyometric set was to side jump the two hurdles then do a squat. Each round was 40 total jumps and twenty squats, very tiring but fun.

This sounds like a lot of fun Veronica. I assume you are jumping with both feet at the same time? Hopefully that doesn't sound like a silly question. I've been struggling with doing this - probably because I don't trust my body for jumping just yet. I've the lower body and core strength, just have to get my head around it.

What are some other plyometrics you enjoy? Monday morning we were doing jumping split lunges holding a dynamax ball between short sprints and a couple of other weighted exercises.
