▪Did you know that jump squats are an example of a plyometric exercise? Plyometric exercises are movements that build power. Other examples are box jumps, tuck jumps, repeated long jumps, frog jumps and split squat jumps. - - ▪What makes squat jumps, and other plyometric exercises, so special? Standard squats help you build static strength while jump squats develop explosive power. Explosive power is the ability to generate force quickly. Power training is also important for successful aging. Studies show that power training may be more important than static strength training for maintaining functionality as you age. - - ▪How much power training are you doing? It deserves a place in your workouts just as strength training does. #jumpsquats #plyometricsexercise #learnsomethingnew #fitnessaddicts #fitnessinspiration #fitnessinfo #powerbuilder #excersiceismedicine #workoutvideos #workoutideas #workout #goodvibesonly #encouragepeople #dreambig #dontstop #dontjudge #keepworkingtowardsyourgoals #youcandothis #yourebeautiful #newyork #newjersey #expandyourknowlege (at New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqTmgWWFfr3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=192ewve06r2bn
