Home Workout for Legs Using Plyometrics with Kettle Bells or Dumbbells

WHAT IS PLYOMETRICS?

Plyometrics involves the training of the muscles in a way as to exert maximum force with the objective of increasing power. In physics terms, power = strength x time/distance, but in order to simplify the meaning, power is the combination of speed and strength. Jumping is a form of plyometrics exercise and that’s what we are going to focus on in this workout.

I won’t bore you myself, but if you would like to learn more about the science of plyometrics/power training then check out this article: https://www.brianmac.co.uk/plymo.htm
