I've set a goal this year that whatever my kid wants me to do with her (she's 6) I want to be able to say yes and do it well so for me it's not just having strength but having more power and bounce in my step (and better cardio). And I want to do be able to do this for as long as she wants - if she wants a piggy back when she's 18 I want to be able to do it.
Carry, throw, jump, bend, climb etc - I want to be able to keep up with her non-stop motor. She may have mom and dad's total lack of athletic DNA but she's got the advantage of no fear and a pliable, jumpy little body.
FWIW, I enjoy both the plyometrics stuff and the related work that emphazises full body coordination and power (say squat thrusters or multi-plane landmine work). I suck so bad at being coordinated that it's really helpful for me to do them.
