In our next clip, we're going to do box jumps. So, we're going to draw a box and imagine that we're exploding to each corner of the box. Ok. This is going to bring our heart rate up, help stimulate those quadriceps, those gluts, hamstrings and calf muscles. Help getting us in shape, so we can look good on the beach. Ok. You're going to come down nice and low on the honchos, shoulders back. Ok. So, we're going to go up to this first corner first. Now, we're going to come back to the center of our square. Ok. We're going to go up to the left corner of our square on the angle. Ok. We're going to reset our body. Come back to center. Ok. Then, we're going to go to the back corner of our square. Come back to center. Ok. Last corner, come back to center. Now, that's going to be one rep going to all four corners. And, we're going to do that ten times for one set and we're going to do two to three sets. Now, if you have any issues you may want to just walk this box out. What you could do, is you could step to the top corner. You could step, do like a little squat. Step back to center. Go to the rear corner. Go into a squat mode. Step back in. Go to the left corner. Step back. Squat. Come back to center. Then, go up to the furthest corner. Step it out and squat. If you have knee issues and back issues, you may not want to do plyometrics.
