Thank you for the informative video. Could you also add recommendations for time held and sets?

[@AytaSports]

You're welcome. Well, it depends person to person. But a good range to be in would be 30-45 seconds for 3-4 sets. If you are easily able to hold 45 seconds, add resistance. Hold on to a DB or KB (1 arm or both). The biggest advantage is that these exercises will work your glutes, calves and hamstrings (to an extent). Hope this helps. If you need more recommendations, don't hesitate to comment.

@@AytaSports I very much appreciate the time you have taken to reply and the thoroughness of your response. One more thing if I may. I know you recommended doing the exercises post game or during a normal s & c session. As regards the latter I’m not quite sure about placement. Do you recommend at the end of the session after completion of the main exercises or prior to more dynamic work? Or do you think optimally they may need a stand alone session? Thank you again.

@petermercadante630 It is my pleasure. As for the placement, you can do them as activation, especially during leg days. All the exercises are a great warm-up tool for your bigger lifts. The isometric calf work while standing (straight and bent knee) will actually help you with your squat as ankles are usually the limiting factors. The pogos are a good transition then to juice up the joints. The hinge one is also a good, dynamic way to start with KB swings or RDLs. The beauty of the exercises are they are not that taxing, apart from the rear foot elevated one. That can be a finisher after you do the squats. If you want to do them as a stand-alone, I would recommend doing it on a recovery day or cardio day. You can also end your workout with them, but my only apprehension would be that you'd be gassed if your workout was intense. Then, psychologically, you might want to skip. Since these are not glamorous, get them out of the way first. I hope this helps. Happy to answer anymore of your questions. 🙂
