Cathe, explain the benefits of Plyometrics?

[lhicks1354]

Cathe,

I noticed that there are Plyometrics included in the STS program. I have never really understood the benefits of using Plyometrics. Can you give a good explanation on why Plyometrics are good and how they can benefit the body when used in conjunction with lifting weights?

Thanks,

Hi!

There is a great article on everything plyometric here; it really explains the origins, benefits and what happens in the body during plyometrics:
