Basic Plyometric Jump Drills for Step Exercise

Video Transcript

"UNIQUE ANDERSON: On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Unique Anderson and I'm here at Energy Fitness in New York City, and we're talking about speed, agility and plyometric step training. All right, now we're going to go to a basic plyometric drill. Before, we did stationary squats; now, we're going to do a jump squat on the platform. The main thing that you want to focus on plyometrics, again, that you'll never be--that you'll always be seen, never heard. If you're here to a point that you knock like this, that means your core is not engaged. We're going to go to a jump squat to the platform, so we focus on here, landing up, coming back, stepping back. Up and stepping back. Coming down, up and stepping back. Now, again, this platform is kinda low. I usually have higher platforms. What you want to do is--what you can do is you can jump squat here, step back, jump squat, step back, jump squat, [SOUNDS LIKE] flop. If you want to get really, really freaky with it, down, pop, pop, flop. Again, starting [SOUNDS LIKE] tight, hop, hop, body down. Again, pop, pop. And that is the way you work the plyometrics into anything that you want to do."
