Plyometrics is well-known in the sports arena as an effective training method used to enhance the power and performance of an athlete.  It is an arrangement of specific activities that enable a muscle to reach maximal force in the shortest amount of time.  Moves like jumping, skipping, and hopping are common to plyometrics. But you don’t have to be an athlete to reap the rewards of plyo.

Plyo works the muscles differently than conventional strength training; the movements are quick and sometimes explosive. If your body is not changing or you have hit a plateau, adding plyo moves to your routine will help break your static status. Your body will become stronger, fitter, and leaner.

Here are 8 favorite plyo moves to get you set to rock a confident body this summer.
