I'm constantly looking for ways to make my workouts more efficient and varied, and when I come across something that works, it makes me even more excited for my next workout. A workout that inspires me to work out again — yes, please!
Lately I've been mixing plyometrics into my strength training regimen and it has been a fun change to my typical workouts. Adding plyometrics will allow your body to burn more calories, just as it does when you add intervals of jumping or skipping to a walking workout.
Integrate jumping exercises like jump squats, jumping lunges, jump roping, or good old jumping jacks after you've finished a set of whatever you're working on with weights. Jumping intervals of 30 seconds to one minute will do the trick.

Great idea!
1I do plys and my GOD, do you get sore!! Love and hate them at the same time... I still haven't been able to do jumping lunges without looking like an idiot though. lol
2I just tried plyo for the first time a couple weeks ago. It was part of the P90X series and holy mother was it tough!
3I'm going to try this.
4It does work... but omg... I hate jumping jacks when I do this.
5i love doing jumpin jacks!
6I do plyometrics sometimes...I get on a kick of doing them, but they make my butt really sore, so I give them up for a while. I'm going to start doing them again though because they really get my butt looking great.
