Plyometrics – Box Jumps


Although I was a little stiff from yesterdays run, I was raring to go workout this morning. I am not saying I wasn’t tired — I was super tired but I wanted to go — which makes it that much easier to get up and out. Mikey switched up the workout today because the burpees were taking to long — so we didn’t have to double them which made the workout go faster.

Mikey also helped me realize something I was doing on the box jumps. I have seen people on the boxes able to go right into the next jump without hesitation — they look like a bunny — jump ,land, jump. The way I have been doing it is jump, land, reset, jump, land, reset …. I couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t jump and go right into the next jump. Mikey said you are focusing the landing on the box when you should put your mind on the landing. Sure enough – i stopped concentrating on landing on the box and my jumps were faster! Although to me, it’s also riskier because you may hit your shins on the box because you aren’t looking at where you land. I guess I just have to practice.
