Sweaty tabata workout this morning . Was a serious of exercises 20secs on 10secs off for 8 rounds. Heres some box jumps which was in one of the rounds . Box jumps: The biggest benefit of the box jump is that it improves the reaction of fast-twitch muscle fibers throughout the body. This exercise requires your leg and core muscles to contract very quickly so you can generate maximal force with each leap. Secondly, the landing phase (deceleration phase) is the most important part of a plyometric activity – it helps decrease the risk of injury and increase your ability to make sudden stops.So how can this help you build size and conditioning? The higher and more explosive you jump, the more muscle tissue that is activated. Box jumps are great to round out your quadriceps training by tapping into some fast twitch (IIb) muscle fibers that are not usually hit during leg presses and leg extensions. The deceleration phase also requires a tremendous amount of quadriceps strength in order to land properly. Box jumps are also very demanding on the metabolic system making them a great exercise to incorporate in your fat loss training. @allornothingclothing @hps_highperformancesupplements #allornothing #teamshps
