If you are working out at home without equipment, don’t let it get stale. Once you have nailed the basics (squats, lunges, push-ups, plank…)it’s time to kick it up! Adding plyometrics is a sure fire way to increase the challenge so that you keep seeing results.

Squat to Heel Click Squat Jumps- This combo pairs one body weight squat with one squat jump.  When you are in the air, pull your legs together and click your heels.  Focus on the squeeze.  You have to be quick with it.  You want your legs to be  hip width apart as you land.  Absorb the impact, sinking directly into your next squat.  Alternate every other rep, squat, then squat jump, and so on.

Push-Up to Plank Jump- Begin in a pushup position.  Execute one push up.  Now, jump your feet in towards your hand, piking your hips up.  Immediately jump back out into plank.  Repeat.  Continue like this for 30 seconds.

Repeat the entire circuit 3x using a :30/:20 work/rest interval.

Tip: Don’t hesitate to drop to your knees for the push-ups if your form is starting to give. We’d rather see you keep it clean and stay injury-free.
