Plyometric Training Is a Great Strength Training Activity for Beginners

Plyometrics is essentially jumping, hopping, skipping type activities that are trying to improve how much elastic energy that we're able to store in our tendons. The ultimate plyometric that I use with some of my elite runners is like speed bounding so bounding for speed where they're trying to cover as much distance as they possibly can with each step. We only need to kind of nudge the intensity of running very slightly in terms of a plyometric activity to get an actual benefit.
