Jump board classes -love them or hate them???!
At Platinum Pilates, we LOVE adding jump board sequences to our classes…
But not all of our lovely clients feel the same way. There is a definite divide in energy when our instructors have them set up and ready for your class
Here are 5 reasons why Team Platinum love sprinkling them into class plans
Low-Impact Cardio
Jump boards let you get your heart rate up without stressing your joints. The Reformer’s springs absorb shock, making it ideal for people with joint concerns or injuries.
Improved Bone Density
The gentle impact of jumping can help stimulate bone growth, especially important for those at risk of osteoporosis.
Enhanced Core Activation
Jumping while lying down, using lighter spring settings, challenges your core to stabilise your body with every push-off and landing.
Better Coordination and Balance
Jump board exercises require timing, control, and proprioception, improving neuromuscular coordination over time.
Increased Lower Body Strength and Power
Repeated jumping against spring resistance builds strength in the glutes, quads, hamstrings, and calves, while also training explosive movement.
Why is incorporating plyometrics into your training regime beneficial to you?!
5 benefits of incorporating plyometrics into your training:
Increased Power and Explosiveness
Plyometric exercises train your muscles to generate force quickly, improving athletic performance in sports that require speed and power.
Enhanced Muscle Efficiency
They boost the neuromuscular system’s ability to recruit muscles more efficiently, which improves reaction time and movement economy.
Improved Agility and Coordination
Many plyometric drills involve quick directional changes and precise footwork, helping refine balance, coordination, and body control.
Greater Calorie Burn
Jumping, explosive movements spike your heart rate and metabolism, making plyos a great tool for fat loss and conditioning.
Better Bone Density and Joint Resilience
The impact forces from jumping stimulate bone remodeling and strengthen connective tissues when done with proper form and progression.
