Taking “zero-weight leg workouts” to a whole new level!
Plyometrics are exercises that exert a maximum force over a short period of time. They’re a great way to add explosive strength and power to any muscle group, as well as carve out amazing definition (think about a sprinter’s body versus a marathon runner’s body). Today we’re hitting the legs with this at-home, zero-equipment workout that combines some of my favorite exercises with some explosive power moves for one incredible leg workout. I promise they’ll be on fire after this one!
Warm Up
Warming up here is doing to be important. We don’t want to go from a static, cold muscle to plyometric movements and jumping without priming the pump first.
Run 5 flights of stairs, jog in place, or do high-knees marching for 2 minutes to get the blood flowing to your leg muscles.
