Plyometric exercises involve your muscles being loaded and then contracted in rapid sequence which can help you to jump higher, run faster, throw further, punch harder etc which is why this type of training is used by many top level athletes. Plyometric training is very taxing on your heart and lungs so this can help with improving your anaerobic fitness as well as burning plenty of calories. Because of the advanced nature of plyometric training I have included regressions for each of the exercises, which I would suggest any beginners to this type of training should start with.

 

Reasons for doing plyometric training:

 

  1. Improves speed and power
  2. Increase muscle performance
  3. Can help with muscle tone
  4. Can help to improve anaerobic fitness
