Plyometrics
Coach
Madeleine Nilsson

The program has four different phases: Foundation building, Skill development, Added challenge and Peak power and you don’t need any previous experience as we’ll start from scratch. The plan has two workouts per week and each one takes around 20-30 minutes.

Why plyometrics? Plyometric training is a form of exercise that uses rapid, powerful movements that target fast-twitch muscle fibers. These fibers help generate explosive power that increases speed and strength. Plyometrics can include different types of explosive exercises like jumping and throwing. This program focuses on a combination of plyometric and non-plyometric hops and jumps that will improve your speed and strengthen your muscles, tendons and joints to help prevent injuries.

Equipment: All you need is some low and/or high boxes. You can use stacked weight plates if you don’t have access to boxes. Optional: For one of the sessions you have the option to use hurdles, or other obstacles that you have access to.

How to implement: The program is designed to be combined with running or strength training. I recommend you to do the plyometric/jump workouts either before or after a speed work/interval day or gym session. However, you know your body best so feel free to adjust according to your situation.
