Instructions
Alternating Hamstring Curl Jack (Plyometrics)
Starting Position:
Stand with your feet hip-width apart and arms relaxed at your sides.
Engage your core to maintain balance.
**Movement 1. Jump and Curl: Jump slightly off the ground, bringing your knees up towards your chest as you do.
Swing Arms: As you jump, swing your arms overhead for momentum. Ensure your palms are facing each other.
Land Softly: As you land, lower your legs back to the starting position while controlling your movement to avoid injury.
Repeat: Alternate by jumping and curling one leg while extending the other leg, then switch legs.
Breathing:
Inhale as you prepare to jump.
Exhale forcefully while jumping and curling your hamstring.
Tips for Beginners:
Start slow to build coordination before increasing speed.
Focus on your landing to absorb the impact softly to protect your joints.
If you find the jumping too challenging, practice the curl motion without the jump first.
