Sharing the clip on Instagram, Yasmin also explained Plyometrics and how they help the body. She wrote, "Plyometrics, also known as jump training or plyos, are exercises in which muscles exert maximum force in short intervals of time, intending to increase power."
Yasmin added, "The primary focus of plyometric training, however, is to expand and contract muscles as quickly as possible, with the main benefits of doing this being greater flexibility and the ability to move the muscles more rapidly. Plyometrics exercise for today is Mountain Climber. Repeat it after every Strength exercise, follow the format below and repeat all the Exercises for 3 Rounds."
