Fat Burn Workout: Plyometrics

I have been wanting to take weight loss, health and fitness to the next level for the longest time so what I will be introducing to you is something I like to call “plyometrics.” You wonder why athletes are in such good shape and it is not just because all the running they do but the type of exercise they do.

I will be posting not just a jumping routine but a sprinting and agility exercise program as these can aid in more fat burning and weight loss than you have ever experienced. Ready, let’s do it!

Fat Burning Plyometric Jumping Routine

Box Jumps

Stand on a box (or a step) that’s about 12 inches high. Now hop off and land with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly flexed — but don’t rest for a second. Immediately jump straight into the air, stretching your arms up as if you were going for a rebound. After you land, step back on the box and repeat. Do three sets of eight repetitions.

Forward Lunges

Take a large step forward with your left leg into lunge position. Bend down and place your left elbow against the instep of your left foot while keeping your right knee off the floor. Pause, then place your left hand outside your left foot while keeping your right hand on the floor for balance. Now, push your hips toward the ceiling and lift the toes of your left foot toward your shin. Finally, stand up and stride into the next lunge.

Squat Jumps

Stand with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, hands on head. Sit back until your thighs are parallel to the floor, then explode upward, extending your ankles, knees, and hips. Land softly with knees bent and immediately descend into your next squat.

Vertical Granny Toss

Stand holding a medicine ball in front of your thighs, arms straight. Dip at the knees, then toss the ball overhead and back. Follow through so your thumbs pointing directly behind you. Run down the ball and repeat.

Bounds

Commence jogging followed by a push off with the right leg, and with an extended stride bring the left leg forward (knee bent and thigh parallel to the floor). At the same time, the left arm should reach forward for further momentum. Attempt to hold the extended stride for a brief time, and then land on the left foot and immediately leap forward again.To maximise this jumping exercise, continue to perform the extended stride continuously on each foot and cover as much distance as possible.

Tuck Jumps

Standing straight, jump up grabbing both knees to the chest. As the feet return to the starting position, land on the balls of the feet and immediately spring up in a quick upward motion.

Again with this jumping exercise, aim to jump higher with each spring. Recommended vertical jumps for this jumping exercise is one to three sets of 10 repetitions.

These six plyometrics will aid your workouts towards burn fat and building endurance with some athletic ability. Try do all exercises back to back and than repeat more an incredible fat burning workout that will shock your body to lose weight in no time flat.

Have a great day and God bless!
