However, he cautions that only fit people who exercise regularly should try plyometrics. |
For instance, I'd normally do this workout two months before competition because the plyometrics help increase speed, agility and explosive strength needed for a show. |
I do a lot of sprinting, a lot of plyometrics, and I introduce a lot of different exercises and techniques. |
In the gym I tend to do a lot of plyometrics and explosive work because a lot of fencing is about footwork and changing the rhythm. |
The problem is that plyometrics often cause excessive muscle soreness and can lead to serious joint injuries. |
For example, we do plyometrics on Wednesdays in the East gym, so the jumpers tend to come join us. |
