Pogo Jumps are a plyometric exercise designed to improve lower body explosiveness, agility, and coordination. This exercise primarily targets the calves, but also engages the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. It is performed by bouncing off the ground with minimal knee bend, focusing on quick and repetitive movements.
