Plyometric Exercises

 
 
Basically, plyometrics train your muscles to contract as quickly and as forcefully as possible. You do this by performing movements as fast and as powerfully as you can.
 
 
This concept can be applied to almost any movement from bench pressing and other weight lifting exercises, sprinting, pushups, and most popularly jumping.  
 
 
I have only added Plyometric Exercises to my workouts in the last year but I would recommend you try to incorporate them into any workout routine.  If you want to have a complete, well rounded workout routine then plyometrics are a great place to start.
 
Plyometric workouts are hard on the body,
 
 
Stretching afterwords is key to staying injury free
 

CAUTION

 
Plyometrics definitely put stress on the joints including the tendons and ligaments. Since cartilage and other connective tissues do not develop as quickly as muscle tissue you will want to ease your way into plyometric workouts.
 

Plyometrics are NOT for beginners.
