The Jump Lunge exercise is a plyometric exercise that targets the quads, glutes, and hamstrings. It helps to improve lower body strength, power, and cardiovascular endurance.
How to perform
To do a Jump Lunge, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and your hands on your hips.
2. Take a large step forward with your right foot, lowering your body until both knees are bent at a 90-degree angle.
3. Explosively jump straight up into the air, switching your legs mid-air so that your left foot is now forward and your right foot is back.
4. Land softly with your left foot forward and your right foot back, lowering your body into a lunge position.
5. Repeat the movement, continuously jumping and switching legs in a fluid motion.
6. Keep your core engaged and your chest lifted throughout the exercise to maintain balance and stability.
7. Aim to perform 10-15 reps on each leg for a full set.
Remember to land softly and with control to reduce the risk of injury. Start with a few sets of Jump Lunges and gradually increase the number of reps as you build strength and endurance.
