Jumping Lunges: Step-by-Step Guide
- Step 1: Start in a strong lunge position with one foot forward and the other foot back. Keep your front knee over your ankle and bend your back knee toward the ground. Stand tall, engage your core, and get ready to jump.
- Step 2: Push off the ground with both feet and jump up. As you jump, switch legs in mid-air so your back foot moves forward, and your front foot moves back. Land softly in a lunge with the opposite foot forward.
- Step 3: Land with your knees bent to absorb the impact. Stay balanced with your chest up and your core tight. Focus on keeping each landing controlled to avoid straining your knees.
- Step 4: Keep jumping, switching legs with each jump. Find a steady rhythm, inhale as you prepare to jump, and exhale as you land. Keep pushing, one rep at a time.
- Step 5: Continue for your set number of reps or time. Stay focused and strong. Each jump builds strength, power, and endurance. You’ve got this!
