Move of the Week: Sumo Jumps

Plyometric training exercises use explosive movements to increase strength and stamina. They are also a great calorie torcher AND muscle builder. These exercises are popular with athletes but also a great fat-blasting option when you want a high-intensity workout.
This exercise specifically targets muscles in the legs, glutes, arms, and shoulders, and gives you a bit of cardio from the jumping.

How it works: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and hands clasped. Bend your knees and push your hips back to lower into a squat, keeping knees behind toes.

 Explode up off the ground, jumping as high as you can while raising your arms overhead. Land back in squat position; repeat.
For added difficulty, take a 10-pound dumbbell and swing it with your hands.
