Plyometrics is a term for shock training. i.e. Movements that involve repeated, quick stretching and contracting of muscles and connective tissue. At 47, I typically prefer to get my weekly dose of shock training from playing sports like basketball and soccer. But sometimes life gets in the way. If I can’t play, I’ll go through a plyo routine like this instead. Here’s one I experimented with earlier this week loosely based on @kneesovertoesg’s terrific @atgexercise 13-step plyo routine: 🧵
1. Backwards Walk x 1 min
2. Backwards Run x 100 steps
4. Karaoke x 50 steps, each side
5. Forward run x 50 steps
6. Low Squat Pulse x 20
7. Low Squat Jump x 10
8. Lateral Jumps x 20
9. Depth Jump x 10
10. Depth Jump Plus Box Jump x 10
Bonus: Bottom Half Squat x 15 Finish by balancing out all the top-quarter work you just did with slow, bottom half slant squats. You can use bodyweight, goblet loaded, or a barbell.
That’s it! I think steps 1-8 above are a good warmup for sports too! Recently I’ve been going through all eight prior to playing basketball or soccer.
