Plyometry for Figure
Although many of you will choose a
Figure competition without a routine you can still benefit with lower body build
and toning by using plyometry in your training. Choices such as tuck leaps, squat
leaps, box jumps, burpees and bounding can really harden your butt and thin the
thighs of fat while building lean, tight and shaped muscle gains. Use weight with
lower reps and less attention to speed when working to muscle up otherwise no
weight and go for speed and height once you have MASTERED form. Flexibility
I
believe stretching should be a part of any training for anyone and goes hand it
hand. Make sure at minimum you stretch the muscles you 'worked out', at the end
of your session. Holding the stretch for no less than 10 seconds and don't bounce.
I also firmly believe this will aid in muscle gains and fat loss by allowing free
flowing of oxygen rich blood to the areas which may otherwise be restricted due
to lactic acid and pump. Lastly I think stretching is a way of injury prevention!
