Plyometrics, beneficial for everyone.

Plyometrics are exercises we do that involves jumping or leaping in any direction, whether up, out, back, forward. Adding even the littlest of plyometric work into your workout, whatever your age, will help build bone density which will help later on in life when you start to lose that bone mass.

Easy examples of plyometric work includes jumping rope, broad jumps (even the littlest jump), hopping of any kind (try doing 50 hops on one foot, promise you will feel it), and skaters.

Rule: We never jump from a higher surface to a lower surface, that is a good way to lose your knees.
