Transcript:How to Do Lower Body Plyometric Workouts
Hi, I am Michelle with Michellefitness.com. I am here for About.com today, demonstrating lower body plyometrics.Jump Squat
The first exercise that I am going to do is a jump squat. So you jump up, squat down, jump up, squat down. You want to make sure you put pressure in your heels, control your drops through your core, and hold your abs night and tight.Plyometric for Lunging
The second exercise that I am going to do is a plyometric for lunging. Begin by creating a line between the top of your head and your tailbone. Contract your abdominals in. You also want to make sure that your chest and your shoulders are back in line with your hips. Then you will begin your hop lunge, by putting your arms up holding them nice and tight, and hop lunge. Again, using your core, you can do this off of platform like the Reebok core board or on the floor.Hop Touch
The final one that I will be doing is called a hop touch. You will hop touch across, snapping your squads, holding your core tight, getting as much height as you can while dropping into your glutes. You can time this for 30 seconds to a minute or go by repetitions.So that wraps up lower body plyometrics. For more information, please go to About.com.
