Lets strengthen, build speed, muscle and agility along with gaining some great stems in the process.   Add a side of fat melting into the mix and you’ll undoubtedly want this plyometric workout part of your regularly scheduled program.

To get the most out of these quick and intense movements, you must push hard and make it count. The explosive nature behind these movements is what will change your body, so don’t just go through the motions, give it your all!
