Plyos are seriously potent medicine and you can damage yourself if you're not careful. Heed the warning to be in top shape. Sprint coaches generally advise no more than 100 or so jumps per week, no more than 25 per session, when using plyos like depth jumps, tuck jumps, rocket jumps, hurdle jumps. Bounding makes for a nice warmup to get things moving. And that bounding was unreal. Cheers Scott Kustes Modern Forager One thing of importance is to START SLOW.

I had forgotten how awesome these exercises can be! I used to throw shot put and discus in college and we would do TONS of plyometrics....lots of box work! We also had this flat wooden board that we stood on that had rubberbands(of a stronger sort, of course) that attached to a belt we wore. While two people held the board down with their feet on each side, the person would jump straight up. It was a great resistance exercise! Wow...i really need to get back into using plyometrics...i think its just what i need to give my workout a really good challenge! Thanks for the reminder! :D Ahhhh lovely plyometrics!!

For reals. Thanks for the breakdown on these exercises, I like seeing more of the cross-fit-y stuff because it's all pretty new to me. I'm still in awful shape (lots of chronic pain), so I probably can't do much of that now, but it's good knowledge for later. Oh man, I hope berry picking is the ideal form of exercise. For reals.
