I'm a distance runner.

Hips and knees in line parallel to the ground...challenge accepted, hahaha,  not quite there yet with the jump squat. I'll get there eventually.

Your flexability, form and fitness will determine that. Generally (with good form) your thighs should be about parallel with the ground. Since it's a bodyweight movement the risk of strain is less than when you are d...

Hips should be at least in line with your knees.  Good for you if you can go further, but thats seems to feel right for me. 

Sheila, I never go past my thighs parallel to the ground...make sure when you squat, your knees do go past your feet.  Bend at the waist and keep your back straight.

I can do deep squats with good form if I do them slowly. Any suggestions?

I need an intervention...I'm addicted to plyometrics!!! I don't really run but I started doing some plyo/HIIT with a trainer to get a head start on the ballhockey season...sprinting is mandatory! Hopefully I won't have the urge to purge after the...

I currently have a trainer to help me compete in HIIT races such as the Spratan Race and Tough Mudder. Our workout consist of Plyometrics. How it works is: First choose about 10 different exercises(but they dont need to be extremely different, suc...

I would put you in the same category (muscle wise) as a cyclist.  Have a read of this article http://triathlon.competitor.com/2010/04/training/power-gains-in-cycling-with-plyometrics_8162

Any of the tuck jump; lunge jump; scissor jump or box jump challenges would all be useful drills for you Marc.

I want to improve my skating so that I am more explosive to quickly get away from opponents on the ice. Any recommendations for some plyometric challenges?

Depends on your condition Saad (how fit you are) but to begin with only twice a week 

How often should one do plyometrics per week ? 

I'll have to give this a try... the hills kill me in a race, but I have a hard time finding hills to train on.

yep great answer .. i was wondering too !!

Hi Fraser, there is a great wiki page regarding this topic, you may want to go and have a look at it as it explains it better than I ever could but basically, plyometrics are exercise designed to produce fast and pow...

Hey guys, how are we all? 

Ok, excuse my ignorance but what's plyometrics? I've been running for a few years but have only recently started taking it seriously so I'm pretty new to this. I want to do it right as I really love running. I have my...

I used to do plyos at myold  gym and loved it; but I've moved out of London and can't find somewhere else to do it. Does anyone know if you can download plyo routines to do at home from anywhere? Alternatively, anyone doing this in Brighton?

So glad I found this tribe as I will be needing to do a lot more pm when I head out on an RV trip for 2 weeks with the family and won't have access to gyms
