Exercise of the Week: Hurdle Jump to Broad Jump

With this exercise you are going to train lower body power in two ways: the vertical plane and the horizontal plane.

Let me warn you before you go jumping right into broad jumps....literally.  Broad jumps can be very stressful on the lower body.  Make sure you have been working on box jumps, squat jumps or hurdle jumps before you get into any broad jump training.
