This episode is inspired by feedback one of my student's in my Strength & Intro to Plyometrics 8 week program. She wanted more plyometrics in the workouts - rightfully so! Yet, I jumping gradually progressed in their workouts.
In this episode, I share the logic behind adding small doses of jumping into workouts, rather than going head on into a workout full of jumping.
Some of the facts I cover that affect the logic:
Jogging: puts 2-4X your bodyweight force on your bones and joints.
Jumping and landing puts about 3.5-4x your bodyweight force on your bones. Our bodies need to adapt to what we're asking it to perform if we want to do them without injury.
