  • Plyometric Power (Roll 11-16): Include jump squats in the Reverse Lunges this round.

Skill Notes

  • Squat to Press: Focus on a controlled squat, holding the dumbbells at shoulder height. As you rise, smoothly transition into a press. For an additional challenge, add a pause at the bottom of the squat.
  • Reverse Lunges: Step backward into the lunge, ensuring the front knee does not pass the toe. For a greater challenge, add a jump to switch legs, or for a lower impact, perform without the jump and focus on depth and stability.
  • Alternating Dumbbell Snatch: From a squat position, explosively lift the dumbbell overhead, alternating arms each time. To reduce intensity, limit the lift to shoulder height and press to overhead as separate actions.
  • High Knees: Drive your knees up towards your chest, increasing intensity with speed. To decrease intensity, focus on height rather than speed.
  • Chair Step-Ups: Use a sturdy chair to perform step-ups. Increase the pace for more intensity, or slow down and focus on the full extension of the leg for lower intensity.
  • Fast Feet: Run in place with quick, short steps. Intensify by adding periodic high knees or simplify by focusing solely on speed without the additional high knee lifts.
