Split Jump
The split jump is a dynamic exercise that involves jumping into a split stance, alternating legs.
Instructions
- Start in a lunge position with one foot forward and the other foot back.
- Lower your hips into a lunge position, keeping your back straight and chest up.
- Push off the ground with both feet, jumping upwards as high as you can.
- In mid-air, switch the position of your legs so that you land in a lunge with the opposite foot forward.
- Absorb the impact through your legs and lower your hips immediately into the next lunge.
- Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Not maintaining an upright torso, leading to loss of balance.
- Failing to switch legs quickly, resulting in an incomplete split in the air.
- Landing with stiff legs, increasing risk of injury.
