This portion of the program focuses on increasing power, strenght and speed. Technique is everything so close attention must be paid to the performance of these exercises in order to avoid injury. It is very important that when you land from a jump, you want to softly accept your weight on the balls of your feet slowly rolling back to the heel with a bent knee and a straight hip.
Plyometrics: Single leg jumps (3/5)
Stand straight with your knees slightly bend and a cone or a line in front of you. Now, lift your right leg up and make a jump to the front using your left leg. Softly land on the ball of your left foot and be sure to keep your knee slightly bend at all times. Now, make a backward jump using your left leg and the same landing technique. Repeat the exercise and switch legs when you completed the number of repetitions.
Make 20 repetitions with each leg and continue the program with the next exercise.
