Description: Place an agility ladder on the ground. Stand in front of the ladder, then perform an alternating jump lunge, landing with one foot in each box of the ladder. Keep your torso upright and control the landing to protect your knees.

Tips: Engage your core muscles to stabilize your posture. Land softly to avoid excessive shocks on the knees. Look straight ahead to maintain balance.
