Get better at jumping by jumping less, at first.
from Tina's SurThrival Guide to Health over 40 Hosted by Tina Tang
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. Listen to the episode for more.
