How to do the exercise

Sets: 3

Repetitions: 8 per leg

Description: Assume a lunge position with one leg in front and the other behind. Push strongly off your legs to jump and change position in the air, landing with the opposite leg in front. Keep your torso upright and control the landing to protect your knees.

Tips: Ensure that your front knee does not go beyond your toes during the landing. Keep your gaze straight ahead and engage your abdominal muscles to stabilize the trunk.

Progression: Gradually increase the number of repetitions or the height of the jump as you master the movement.
