The power of plyometrics

Scott Schwab:

I cannot stress enough the benefit of doing different workouts and making adjustments to our exercise routine on a frequent basis. Plyometrics is one of those routines that make a HUGE difference to our effectiveness, stamina, and overall body composition. When we break down not only the benefits to plyometrics, but what is considered plyometrics, I believe each of us will be scrambling to find anything plyometrics worthy, to put into our workout.

Plyometrics- a type of exercise using explosive movements to develop muscular power. Especially bounding hopping, and jumping.

Now here are the benefits to plyometrics:

1. Better Performance
For those who enjoy sports like track and field, plyometric exercise can greatly benefit running speed. Plyometric exercise helps you achieve any athletic goal.
2. Developing Muscle Power
Plyometric exercise gives your legs and muscles an intense exercise which guarantees an increase in muscle potential.
3. Enhancing Your Ability to Burn Calories
An increased muscular endurance and ability to burn calories would come to great use for someone hoping to build a weight loss routine.
4. Increasing Your Muscular Endurance
Plyometric exercising will help intensify your energy and increase your stamina. Since plyometric exercising builds up an explosive amount of intense energy, it could be just the thing for a new change to a training routine.
5. No Extreme Exercising Equipment is Needed
Exercise equipment can be expensive, and plyometric exercising doesn’t require any. Anything that is needed could be easily found lying around the house.
