Instructions

Standing Ladder Climb Plyometrics

Starting Position:
1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and arms relaxed at your sides.
2. Engage your core to maintain stability.
1. Lift One Arm: Raise your right arm straight up towards the ceiling while keeping your left arm down.
2. Lift One Leg: Simultaneously lift your left knee up towards your chest as if climbing a ladder.
3. Switch Arms and Legs: Lower your right arm and left knee back to the starting position. Then, raise your left arm and right knee.
4. Continue Alternating: Repeat this movement, alternating arms and knees in a quick, fluid motion.
5. Pace: Aim to perform the movement in a rhythmic manner, increasing speed as you become more comfortable.
6. Breathing: Inhale as you lift your arms and knees, and exhale as you lower them.

Tips for Beginners:
- Start slowly to ensure proper form and balance.
- Focus on controlled movements rather than speed initially.
- Ensure your back remains straight to avoid strain.

Duration: Aim for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then take a rest before repeating for multiple sets.
