Plyometrics are extremely intense and provide one of the most gut-wrenching workouts possible. They will build immense speed and power to improve your fitness tremendously.
(Note: Beginners should be able to perform most bodyweight exercises before moving on to these higher impact plyometrics exercises.)
What’s cool about plyometrics:
- Build explosive power without need for weights.
- More intense than any other bodyweight exercises.
- More fun and exciting than simply running sprints.
