COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Plyometrics is a type of exercise training designed to produce fast, powerful movements,and improve the functions of the nervous system.
It is generally for the purpose of improving performance in sports, but can be beneficial to the casual exerciser as well.
Plyometrics is used to increase the speed or force of muscular contractions, often with the goal of increasing the height of a jump.
You may use the floor or any platform to perform the moves.
Laura Schaelling with the YMCA was on the FOX 21 Morning News to give us a demonstration.
