I Love Plyometric exercises but be careful not to use them too often as they have a higher propensity to cause stress injuries.

Here are a few of my favorite full-body ones.

Burpee’s (w/ push up)

Push Up Jacks

Medicine Ball Slam and Squat
Slam MB in front of you as hard as you can then catch the ball before it hits the ground again, bring it above you head or to chest and squat. Repeat.

Step Medicine Ball Pivot Crossover
Start on left side of Step with arms extended holding MB above center of the step and your right foot on the step. Hop to the right landing with the left foot on the step an the right foot now on the ground on the right side of the step. The MB should still be extended above the center of the step. (rotate at your torso to do so not your shoulders) Make more explosive by adding more of a squat and vertical jump on each side.
