Today I’m sharing a workout with you that combines strength training and plyometrics.
I love interspersing plyometric exercises into my clients workouts as well as my own. They are a great way to train power and speed while also driving the heart rate up.
The workout I’m sharing today features a strength training exercise followed immediately by a plyo exercise targeting the same muscle group.
Here’s your workout. I programmed the back and forth between strength and plyo to give you time for active recovery. I’m also alternating upper and lower body movements, which will also help you maintain a steady effort throughout. The strength exercises are pretty straight forward but some of the plyo movements might be unfamiliar so I made a quick video with a demo of all the exercises.
And here’s a photo guide to go along with it.
Clearly I’m feeling very resourceful today! 🙂
If you’re new to plyo movements, take it easy to start. Be mindful if you have injuries as jumping movements may not be the best choice for you. Always ask your doc if you’re feeling unsure about adding anything new to your workout routine. As always, I’d love your feedback if you give this a try.
I think a hot vinyasa yoga gets me the sweatiness by far! Come out soaked and hardly noticed during class 🙂
speedwork on the treadmill gets me really sweaty!
Burpees!!! Uncontrollable sweat drips off my nose and into my eyes with a burpee heavy WOD

I get the sweatiest when I do any rep range over 5!!! or during a sprint workout!
The boot camp class at my gym leaves me SO sweaty most of the time. Or any type of HIIT workout I do at home. P.S. I love all of the workouts you post!! I’ve done many of them. 🙂

I think it’s a tie between spinning and speedwork on the treadmill!
I’m not much of a sweater, but spinning never fails to get me glistening! 🙂
I don’t sweat much when I work out – except in heated yoga! It’s really the only workout that leaves me drenched! That’s just one reason I love it so!
My Piyo class is the most sweat inducing for me. I misty take a full shower after that class before going back to the office.
Definitely a good run on a hot day!
This looks like a great workout – can’t wait to try it! As always, thanks for sharing these. Insanity is a sweaty workout! It’s definitely one of my favs. 🙂

as a fellow LES MILLS instructor (i teach BP and RPM) and a runner, i am still convinced that NOTHING gets me like REAL HOT yoga (bikram style) – i always leave looking (and feeling) like i got thrown in the pool in my clothes!
hot yoga sculpt for sure!
Hot yoga! Sweaty, sweaty!
Summer running outside in the south. I’m one of those people who doesn’t hate the humidity, but I’m a sweaty mess even walking from the car to WalMart. Bring on July!
Circuit training always makes me the sweatiest or any HITT . the boss workout gives me a good reason to pull it out and dust off for a fresh spring recharge workout.. Thanks for keeping us motivated. .
I don’t externally sweat a lot. But I do sweat when I run or in heat.. I still feel icky! Sataya
I’ve never sweated as much as I do during a Hot Yoga class!

I’m always surprised at how sweaty I get after a strength training workout – way more sweaty than a cardio workout.
Hot yoga 🙂
At the moment, its long hilly walks pushing a stroller!
Running, hands down!
Hot yoga has me sweating before we even start! Just walking in the room. Lol
Hot yoga definitely makes me the sweatiest plus living in Florida!
I am a cardio lover, but I have to say that while running and ellipticalling can really get me sweating, it takes quite a bit of time to get that sweat on. My CrossFit gyms WOD’s make me drip sweat every single time no matter how short the workout is.
For me spinning gets me so sweaty.. and tired
