What is plyometric cardio?

Plyometrics is a form of exercise that uses explosions of small sudden movements such as fast jumps to use their maximum capabilities in the shortest possible time frame. It tends to be used primarily as a means to increase the ability of athletes to jump higher or take off faster from a permanent position. Plyometric cardio is an exercise regime that includes traditional plyometric movements for aerobic exercise as a means to reduce the percentage of body fat. During the first phase of movement, one generally bends his feet in preparation for a sudden jump or other fast movement and the body begins to produce potential energy or energy that is stored for the movement that the body is known, usually occurs in a short period of time. In the second phase of Plyometrics, a person begins to sing the process that potential energy and changes are placed on the transition to actual movement. This phase, often referred to as amortization phase , tends to be very short or almost instantaneous and is often so simple, such as a change from a person who bent his feet in preparation for a cross for real pressure from the ground with his feet. The last phase is when one uses all potential energy and performs plyometric exercise.

One of the most common movements used in plyometric cardio routines is often referred to as plyo jumps . Plyo jumps are carried out by a person standing with their feet before the lower body bends to the squatting position. From the squat position, the person can then jump to the air as much as possible than landing back to the original position. Jumps are done immediately by one another without resting between each of them. People who are beginners in the plyometric carda can do the exercise for 10 seconds, while advanced exercisers can continue for up to one minute.

Another exercise that can be performed during plyometric cardio is the version of the plyo jump, but the variation on the side on the side. PersonIt places a small step or a box on the floor and stands on its one side. Then he squats lightly and then jumps to the side over a step or a box to land on the other side. The exercise is then repeated immediately on the other side of a step or box.
