Overview
Jumping lunges with rotation and forward movement develop powerful, strong legs. The rotation activates the core muscles and the forward movement requires the fast-twitch muscles fibers in the legs to fire on all cylinders. Jumping lunges with rotation and forward motion should be not be performed by beginners. A strong strength base is recommended before performing plyometric exercises.
Description
- Stand with your feet at shoulder width, holding your hands relaxed in front of you.
- Step forward about 16 to 20 inches and descend carefully, rotating to the leading leg.
- Then jump forward and switch foot position, rotating again to the opposite side.
- When you land, absorb right into a lunge by bending your knees.
- Again, jump forward and immediately switch foot position, rotating again.
- Continue for a specified number of repetitions or time.
Mistakes
- Front foot and knee not pointing straight.
- Feet not staggered enough forward and back.
- Rotating the arms only instead of the entire torso.
