Squat Jump
Squat until your thighs are parallel with the floor. Keep your chest up. Hold your arms straight in front of you as you squat, pushing them behind your back as you jump. Jump as high as you can. Exhale as you jump. Land softly.
Don’t
Allow your knees to travel past your toes. Shift your weight to your toes while squatting.
Jumping Lunge
Keep your front knee at 90 degrees. Lunge as low as flexibility allows without the back knee touching the floor. Maintain a vertical torso. Keep your weight evenly distributed between your front and back foot. Jump to switch your foot positioning — front foot goes back, back foot goes front. Coordinate arm movement so that the front arm pumps forward while the opposite leg lunges back. Land softly.
Don’t
Allow your knee to touch the floor.
Make it easier
Don’t jump — just do regular lunges.
