Welcome to the Awais World Fitness
Website here today, I'm gonna take you through an effective plyometric workout
that tones your leg and burns fat simultaneously, right from home. There are
many effective ways to get a great workout without the need for equipment or
weights. And not having access to a gym should never be an excuse to not work
out. One of those effective ways to work out is through plyometric training.
Plyometric training tones your entire body burns calories, and improves your
cardiovascular health, stamina, and endurance. In addition, plyometric
exercises rapidly stretch your muscles, allowing you to move more
efficiently.
Plyometric:
A plyometric (plyo) workout can be
an excellent way to tone and strengthen your legs from home. Plyometric
exercises focus on explosive movements that engage your leg muscles, helping to
build strength and improve muscle tone. Here's a sample plyometric leg workout
you can do at home:
Today's workout will consist of
eight exercises, with 45 seconds on and a 15-second rest in between. We're
gonna start off with butt kicks.
45 SECS BUTT KICKS All right, that was butt kicks. A great exercise to warm up your
entire lower body. Moving on, we'll be doing box jumps for this exercise.
45 SECS BOX JUMPS make sure to find an elevated and stable surface in your home to
jump on safely. So that was box jumps. You should really be feeling your legs
burning by now. For the next exercise, we're gonna start engaging our abs with
45 seconds of mountain climbers.
45 SECS MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS All right, that was mountain climbers. For the next exercise, we
have side-to-side jump squats.
45 SECS SIDE TO SIDE JUMP SQUATS which really will help engage your glutes and quads. So
that was side-to-side jump squats. You should really feel your heart rate
going by now. For the next exercise, we have explosive step-ups with 22 seconds
on each leg.
22 SECS EACH EXPLOSIVE STEP UPS Once again, find a stable surface to utilize for this exercise. Switch
legs. Five seconds. So that was explosive step-ups. For the next exercise,
we're gonna be doing it on the elevated surface again. Side-to-side toe taps.
45 SECS SIDE TO-SIDE TOE TAPS Those side-to-side toe taps should really have your legs burning.
Make sure you're really using your 15-second rest time in between each exercise
to catch your breath. For the next exercise, we have explosive curtsy lunges.
22 SECS EACH EXPLOSIVE CURTSY LUNGES for 22 seconds on each leg. Switch legs. You should really be
feeling it by now. We're almost done. For the last exercise, we're gonna be
engaging our abs with plank in and out.
45 SECS PLANK IN & OUT OPEN
& CLOSED open and closed. All right, so
that's the last exercise to complete the first round of this plyometric
workout. To get the most out of this workout, you want to do these exercises
for at least two more rounds.
