For the Ladies- Plyo Card Routine

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrFWSaoHCpk

Above is a video link of Jamie Eason one of the top female fitness athletes in the world. She will be doing what she calls the Plyo Card Workout. I have used this simple workout on several women with great results.

For those of you with bad knees, skip the lunge jumps, and if the squat jumps bother your knees do regular sqauts to a chair. This workout can be done at home or at the gym. I would start with three cards and 3 sets. I like to have my girls deal out the whole deck to start. Shuffle the cards and deal three cards for each exercise and then go for it. Do all of the exercise once through and you'll have done one set. Rest reshuffle and start again. Do this 3 times. Keep your rest short between exercises. Have fun.

Fitness for the ladies

Hi everyone,

By request I'll be adding a ladies fitness section every week to the weekly updates from the gym. I will be posting training info, diet info along with what good science is out there. Injury prevention and rehab info. I hope that the ladies who follow the site will be blessed by the new addition.

God bless,
George
