Instructions

Plyometric workout can include jump on the feet and jump on the arms. To jump on the feet you can do squat jump, box jump, tuck jump, lateral jump or any other type of jump. To jump on the arms you can choose any variation of push up with jump at the end, clap push up, plyometric pull up and clap pull up.

Good technique of the jump includes deep soft squat that allows muscles to absorb the power of the squat and protects joints and connective tissues. You should spend additional time for warming up the joints that will participate in jumping and lending. Research demonstrated that there is no need to jump higher than 30 inches.
