Katrina: Today we are going to go over Plyometrics and how to add a little cardio to your workouts to get your heart rate up. For more of Plyometrics, see I blog this week. First we are going to go through our warm up, I just want Sarah to jump up and land softly into a squat. So she is going to go down, up. (Demonstration) Making sure that you put your weight in your heel as you land, squatting soft on the knees. Make sure that your knees do not go off your toes, good perfect, that is a Plyo-jump. The next exercise that we are going to do is a Plyo-step Shuffle. Sarah is going to explode up and go to the other side of the step, up and to other side. These add a great cardio bit to your workout and also explosion, good. This exercise is for your glute, your hamstrings, your quads, and for cardio. So I am going to have Sarah do it, step, Plyo-jump. As Sarah begin to jump to make sure that her leg is about parallel with the floor and have full foot is on the steps. She is going to pair weight into her heel as she goes up and she is going to jump up and come back down, good full foot, (Demonstration) Good, push higher, push, push, good. We are going to progress to Plyo-step shuffle from side to side using the Bosu ball. I want Sarah to put her full foot in the middle of the Bosu ball stabilizing her legs. She just going to jump up and go to the other side. She is going to go down into a soft squat making sure that she softens her knees. (Demonstration) Again this is a great way to add cardio to your workout
