Pop Squats (Plyometrics)
*Targets Glutes, Hamstrings, Quads
Complete 4 sets- 15 reps
Build a powerful, strong, and tight lower body. Try these pop squats as part of your circuit or lower body workout.
Step 1: Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, feet rotated slightly outward. Keep your arms in a runner’s stance.
Step 2: Begin to squat down with knees slightly below parallel to the floor. With explosive power, jump up as high as you can, and return to a squatting position.
Cynthia’s tip: The key here is the landing. Land as light as a cat, to prevent injury to ankles and knees.
*Always consult your physician before beginning any workout series.
