How to perform

  1. 1

    Assume a lunge stance position with one foot forward with the knee bent, and the rear knee nearly touching the ground.

  2. 2

    Ensure that the front knee is over the midline of the foot. Extending through both legs, jump as high as possible, swinging your arms to gain lift.

  3. 3

    As you jump as high as you can, switch the position of your legs, moving your front leg to the back and the rear leg to the front.

  4. 4

    As you land, absorb the impact through the legs by adopting the lunge position, and repeat.

Important tips

  • Drive through your whole foot, not just your toes.

  • Keep your knees tracking over your toes.

  • An honest range of motion beats a heavier load.
