The Lesson
Plyometric jumping is about combining force with speed in rapid succession. The speed of each explosive jump should help build more momentum up.
Demonstrate five plyometric jumps over five ankle-height obstacles on the ground which are four steps (heel-to-toe) apart from each other.
Chest should remain up, the jumps must be two-feet together, and you should not pause on any jump. The landing momentum of each jump should be redirected back up for the next jump.
Use visible markers to jump over. You can use plastic bottles, walls, bricks, etc..
Repeat three times.
