Athletes love plyometric moves because they’re so effective—but even if you’re not an athlete, you can give your body this awesome conditioning workout.
Next time you do a jump squat, add a bit of resistance to it (dumbbells, backpack, water jug, etc.) and your body will thank you. Try doing 4 sets of 10-15 reps.
