Plyometrics Introduction- Beginners Guide on Plyometric Exercises and Workouts
This is a long video, but if your new to plyometrics, please watch ALL of it! In this series we’ll cover a variety of plyometric exercise routines. For questions, please ask on www.facebook.com or comment on this video. What is plyometrics? can also refer plyometrics as explosive exercises. These are workouts that consist of fast, powerful movements. They are generally used to improve sports performance, but they are now being used as people who want to just tone up and stay in shape. When doing plyometrics, muscles are being contracted in a rapid sequence. Plyometrics are going to help with activities such as jumping higher, running faster, throwing further, or hitting harder. With that kind of variety, it is important to develop a plyometrics routine that will cater to your needs. There are lower body plyometrics and there are upper body plyometrics. If you want to get fast, then plyometrics will be a huge plus to your training routine. If done properly, plyometrics can also prevent injuries from weak muscles and tendons that lack stability. Here are some FAQs! Who invented plyometrics? Professor Yuri Verkhoshanskyis invented plyometrics in the 1950s. A little about Verkhosnkysis – He was a Russian researcher prominent in the field of explosive strength. He is considered to be one of the greatest experts in the theory of sports training.

Hey Arash, in track I do high jump, long jump, and hurdles. Any specific exercises I can do to improve speed, endurance and jump distance/height? Thanks bro.
im glad i subscribed in 2011 cause my 2012 workouts i want to add plyo cause im a small guy roughly 5’3-4 and im big bone and i have huge calves and i do basketball so this is very informative and helpful plus i have a goal at my job to touch est 10’4 brick near the ceiling by the end of the summer! lets get it!
Not a criticism just a suggestion, you should have broken down the origin of the word from whatever it’s greek or latin roots translate into, early in the video. It would have added to the professional feeling of the video.

Arash, do you think it would work to incorporate strength training with plyometrics in the same workout? I know for one of the HIIT routines, it involves a set of lifting followed by a high intensity drill as the resting time for your muscles. Instead, how would you recommend incorporating plyometrics within that rest time? I’m mostly asking because I’m not familiar with a lot of plyometric exercises! For example, what would you do after, let’s see, doing pullups or benching?
is it okay if i just wear ankle weights when i run? and its not heavy like 1-2 lbs
YEAAAHHHH PLYOMETRICS!
Thank you Arash. =)
thx man. ur awesome
hey Arash, I am confused as to if I should incorporate weight training and exercises and plyos in the same workouts or if i should do like one lower body leg workout and plyo workout once a week separately. Should i go heavy on weights? Can you post a video on how to build a program including ploys and weights or help me out? Thanks man
science says u should be able to squat your body weight before you attempt lower body plyos. it used to be 2 x your body weight. i agree somewhat with being able to squat your body weight in a 1rm.i feel that if you can even do a percentage of your body weight but with more reps thats acceptable too. But its essential that you do squats before trying plyos.
Can you make a video on excercises and information about endurance and how to increase endurance? Many times in Phs Ed when we are running the track I get left behind because I have to keep a very slow pace or I’ll get tired quick. I also want to do track this spring and soccer this fall so it would help me alot if you can make a video soon on endurance.
I’ve really been looking forward to this. Thanks so much Arash!
that’s pretty good…i did the hurdle workout yesterday
what about putting the ankle weights in your bag? and walk around with them all day.
I am looking forward to this, I dont want be a bulky muscular guy who can barely run and jump. I want to be able to move and jump like a ninja but at the same time have good muscle mass.
Hey are you going to upload and freerunning or parkour videos?
can u do some exercises on how to improve acceleration speed?
Hey Arash!
I think I have quite strong legs , but they are not explosive nor do I have much endurance. I am having trouble jogging for 30 minutes straight. Do you think I should build up to that level of endurance or start plyometrics right away?
Thanks in advance
will this help me on bboying? like doing flares, windmills or jackhammers.
I can’t wait to do this! But I sprained my ankle yesterday:( couch time sucks.
