The Forward Jump exercise is a plyometric exercise that targets the lower body, specifically the quadriceps, glutes, and calves. It helps improve explosive power, agility, and overall leg strength.
How to perform
Step by step instructions for the Forward Jump exercise:1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent.
2. Engage your core and keep your back straight.
3. Bend your knees and hips slightly, then explosively jump forward as far as you can.
4. Land softly on the balls of your feet, with knees slightly bent to absorb the impact.
5. Immediately repeat the jump, aiming to cover as much distance as possible with each jump.
6. Perform the exercise for a set number of repetitions or duration.
