How To Do Jump Lunges Exercise Demonstration Video and Guide
Jump Lunges are a great plyometric exercise that primarily targets the quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings, and calves.
It also improves balance, coordination, power, and explosiveness.
To get started:
- While standing, take one step forward with one leg.
- As you make the descent into the lunge, your front thigh should be parallel to the ground with your back knee at a 90 degree angle hovering just above the floor.
- Ensure your upper body is upright and perpendicular to the ground throughout the movement without allowing your front knee to go past your toes in the lunge position.
- Now explode up into a jump by pressing both of your feet through the ground, bringing your back foot forward and your forward foot back, and driving your arms as if you’re sprinting.
- Cushion your joints by landing softly back into the lunge position and repeat.
