Now it's no wonder that sports conditioning and athletic training apply plyometric drills; it is meant to target specific muscles to work out and reach its optimum level of performance whether the goal is to jump higher, hit harder, throw farther, run faster or reach any other specific performance goal.
 
Plyometric routines are executed by fast, powerful movements done in continuous sequence. In plyometric routines, muscles are loaded and contracted in fast sequence that makes it more powerful. A lot of sports enthusiasts also refer to this as a drop routine wherein you allow your body to drop as you prepare to contract your muscles. There are many available plyometric routines that specifically targets a certain muscle in the body. Depending on the person's need, a certain routine can make one muscle particularly stronger and better.
 
For this particular workout, we are going to be focusing on lower body plyometrics. Complete the following exercises for 20 seconds, 10 second rest in between, for 2 consecutive rounds for each exercise. Yup, just a little less than 5 minutes.
 
Squat Jump Begin in squat position and explosively jump upward as high as you can. Land back softly in a squat position and immediately repeat jump until time is up. Keep hands behind head or near your chest to center your body during entire movement.
 
Split Jump/Plyo Lunge Start in lunge position. Explosively jump off the front leg using calves of back leg to propel body up. While in midair, switch legs so that the back leg is in front during landing. Land softly back into lunge and keep repeating.
 
Bunny hops. Jump up and as far forward as possible. Kick your feet towards your glutes while in midair. Land, turn back around, and repeat the jump until time is up.
 
Single Leg Speed Hop - Sounds easy but yes hop on one foot as fast as you can, keeping your core tight and keeping the non standing leg from touching the ground. Switch sides when your two rounds of 20 seconds are up.
 
Now get your butt to work!
 
Keeping the fun in fitness!
