Plyometrics!

Plyometric exercises are a great way to develop explosive power and speed. A component of training which is necessary in many sports, but can also be helpful in everyday life.
Upper body as well as lower body plyometric drills can be done also to achieve power. In the video I'm performing some single leg jumps which will help improve power as well as strengthen the leg muscles. I then follow with some high box jumps and I finish with some side to side bounding which is especially good for developing speed as well as agility.

Training your body to be reactive with power and quickness is always a plus. It is always a component of training I keep in every clients workout program

Two Functional Exercises For The Lower Body!

In this video you'll see one of my clients working on some lower body strength and power. Rear foot elevated split squat also known as a Bulgarian split squat, which is a excellent functional single leg strength exercise. It also, has some ...great benefits which include injury prevention as the stabilizer muscles are being developed.

Ice skaters also known as skater jumps/hops is a nice power and agility drill performed in a frontal plane/side to side motion. This is a movement pattern we don't regularly move in. Being able to jump and land on one foot requires a good level of balance and coordination, and is something we had already been working on prior to getting to this level. Training your muscles to stabilize in free open space and with movement can help you body create more balance and control. For example, if you were to ever fall, you would have the ability to catch your self.
