Plyometric exercise is used predominantly by athletes who are looking to improve their performance.
Plyometrics are especially beneficial for increased speed and leaping ability, but will also greatly affect tone and definition in the legs. It is important to avoid plyometric exercise if you are a beginning exercise participant. This activity should be executed by those who have reached a plateau in their exercise routine. You should have at least three to four months of consistent exercise under your belt. There are many different types of plyometrics.
