APDietz “ Hurdle Jumps: (for those of you without the money to buy actual hurdles, just use folding chairs-if you have them)

Instructions

Preparation

Stand facing collapsable hurdles or barriers (12" to 36", 30 to 90 cm) set up in a row.

Execution

Squat down and jump over hurdle with feet together using a double arm swing. Upon landing, immediately jump over next hurdle.

Comments

Use both upper and lower body movements. Keep landings short. Hurdles should be collapsable in case it is not cleared. Space hurdles or barriers according to ability. Increase height of barrier as ability improves. Perform 2 or more jumps in succession.

kettlebell27 “ I am a FAN of kettlebell snatches. Switching every 5-10 reps from arm to arm is just a great, total body smoker of an exercise. Even just a 5 minute to 10 minute session of snatches is enough to get my juices flowing. I get more out of KB snatches than I ever did from power cleans & snatches.

Just my thoughts,
Rick ”

APDietz “ Staircase Depth Jump

Instructions

Preparation

Stand on box close to front edge facing staircase.

Execution

Step off box landing on both feet between box and staircase. Jump off the ground as fast as possible to highest step.

Comments:

I added this workout to follow up my "Tip" about equipment. If you don't have a box just use a chair. Make sure that there is enough room on the landing in case the chair slides backwards.

Now go out and have some fun with great Plyo Workout.

Here is the EXRX.net link to see what the exercise should look like:
