This is the clearest explanation of plyometrics I've seen. <strong>@ Deb: Thanks, I don't know about the clearest explanation as they are pretty hard to describe and really need to be shown. Thank YouTube :-) Right now I am considering changing up my routine and dropping weights altogether for a while just doing some plyometrics, tennis and yoga.... Will keep things updated with a blog post in a while.</strong> Thanks for including the videos. This is the clearest explanation of plyometrics I’ve seen.

I use them when I start to plateau to get me back on top of the game. Great post! Plyometrics are a sure fire way to improve in all of your lifts.

The exercises are definitely challenging and there's enough variety to keep workouts fresh. I’ve substituted plyometrics for cardio for the past few months with good results.

Plyometrics are a great alternative to the mindless cardio that people tend to be obsessed with these days, like treadmills and those dang elliptical machines, I hate those. Everyone should incorporate plyometrics into their workouts. Ken Rogers Nice post.
