Edge of instanity wow1/7/2024 ![]() It can be quite hard on the knee joints and I take some of the exercises a bit more carefully than I might have a few years ago (or maybe if I weighed less!). The exercises involve a lot of movement, including squats and jumping, so if you have any knee problems, you may need to consider carefully whether this class is for you. While I am an older person, I am still pretty active and have no joint or back problems. ![]() You get a 30 second rest and then start a different group of exercises. Think about doing those four exercises for 30 seconds each, standing for a rest for 10 seconds, then repeating the same exercises faster or more intensively, having another 10 second rest and doing them again, even faster. There are also explosive vertical jumps from the squatting position and alternate arm planks - where you get into the full arm raise plank position then raise one arm out to the side for five seconds (or more), then the other arm. Another one is squatting and boxing in front of you, as fast as you can (and if you don't think that is hard work - try it). The kind of exercises I have been doing include "jumping the log", which means hopping from side to side (as if hopping over a log), landing first on your left foot, then your right, while lifting the other leg high (as if jumping over a log). The plyometrics are why you need to be careful of your knees but so far, I have not had any problems. ![]() It is a full body workout heavily biased towards plyometric jumping drills and interval training with intense cardio.
