Plyometrics are a form of exercise that involve energy storage and release in your muscles and tendons such as hopping, jumping, and agility drills. Plyometrics can help improve bone density, power, and metabolism especially in women experiencing peri- & post-menopause.
Because plyometrics involve energy storage and release and are high impact, we need to have a good foundation of strength, balance, and coordination to perform them safely.
Dr. Morgan is hosting this active virtual webinar where she will take you through the foundational movements and strength exercises necessary to perform plyometrics without injury risk. She will suggest modifications if needed to accommodate orthopedic injuries and pelvic floor symptoms as well as progressions and regressions.
We'll go through exercises like: double & single leg glute bridges, double & single leg hamstring bridges, single leg balance drills, standing calf raise progression, toe walks, box squats, bodyweight squats, goblet squats, reverse lunges, split squats, and a lateral lunge progression
The goal of this webinar is to help prepare you for plyometrics and give you ideas of what you need to work on to improve your plyometric performance.
Equipment needed: mat or comfortable area to perform exercises on the floor, bench or chair, light to moderate dumbbells or kettlebells if you have them.
