Blast Fat With Plyometrics

Does your workout make you jump for joy...

Well, get ready to get lean by catching some air! Called plyometrics, this hot breed of cardio is an addictive way to incinerate fat fast. "Plyometrics burns the maximum amount of calories in the shortest amount of time while toning the body from head to toe," reveals trainer Roya Siroospour, creator of Explosive 30, a new Crunch/Miami plyometrics class.

We tapped Siroospour to create this energizing plyometrics circuit just for Health: It blasts an extremely impressive 350 calories in less than 30 minutes.

  Here's how it works

 jump-fitness-slideDo the workout four times a week, and you’ll trim up to 2 inches off your belly and 3 inches off your hips in three to four weeks. Do each move for 30 seconds, rest for 30 seconds, then go to the next. Once you finish the cycle, rest for two minutes, then repeat twice more.

Best of all, you don’t need any equipment—just something you can jump on, like a low bench or step.
  
       Squat Jumps

 squat-jumps-plyo1Stand in front of a step or bench with feet hip-width apart. Bend your knees and push your hips back to come into a squat—don’t let knees go past toes.

Push into the balls of your feet, and jump up onto the step, landing with both feet together in squat position. Step back down to starting position and repeat.
  
      Sumo Jumps

 sumo-jumps-ethan  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 and repeat.
