I love plyometric exercises. Here are 5 reasons why you should love them, too!
- Plyometric exercises are great if you are short on time.
- They are often whole body exercises and will work a large number of muscles in your body.
- Plyometrics require fast movements so require a lot of effort, therefore raising your heart rate to a high level. Any time you raise your heart rate your cardiovascular system gets a workout.
- Improving your plyometric performance will have a direct impact on your sporting ability. They can make you faster, more agile, jump higher, turn faster, hit farther etc.
- Over time, plyometrics will help you develop a strong, lean, toned look to your body.

Just followed your video instruction and really didn’t think it was going to be that difficult to complete multiple repetitions. I managed to complete two and a half and my heart rate was pumping. I think I really have been ignoring the intensity of jump squats.
Jump squats are one of the best exercises ever, not only does it work your cardio legs and bum but also you get great core workout!
Great article 🙂
Great blog and love leg exercices
I m a true believer on doing legs since is by far the best exercise to burn body fat content…Even though it could be hard at the beggining but is 100% worth it….
I would say it Works even better tan 30 mi cardio..its more extreme and effective.
I followed your video instruction. Really good job on the site, Thanks for guide!

Oh man, the video killed me! Doing more jump squats from here on out.
Good video and information. Always remember to do plyometric exercises in moderation. The strain placed on tendons especially should be closely monitored.
