Alternating Jumping Lunges
Alternating Jumping Lunges
Purpose: Plyometric. Power. Fast twitch muscle recruitment. Athletic coordination.
Quick Coaching Cues
- Coordinate your arms with the jumps, swinging from the shoulders and elbows.
- Start in a split stance and keep your chest tall with your core braced
- Jump straight up and switch legs in the air, landing softly in the next lunge.
- Bend both knees on landing and control the position before the next jump.
Common Mistakes
- Not coordinating the arms.
- Not jumping with enough power. Try to give 90-100% effort.
- Letting the front knee cave inward on landing.
- Jumping forward too much instead of staying mostly in place.
- Landing stiff-legged or too upright instead of absorbing into the lunge.
