Double High-Knee Side-Hop

Double High Knee Side Hop

Starting Position:
1. Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart.
2. Keep your arms relaxed at your sides or bent at your elbows in front of you for balance.

Movement Instructions:
1. Initiate the Jump:
- Bend your knees slightly and push off the ground with both feet.
- As you leap to the side, bring your knees up high towards your chest. Aim to get your knees as high as possible.

2. Airborne Position:
- While in the air, keep your elbows strong and bring them down to help maintain balance.
- Your body should be slightly angled forward as you prepare to land.

3. Landing:
- Land softly on the balls of your feet, absorbing the impact by bending your knees and hips.
- Your feet should land shoulder-width apart to maintain balance.

4. Repeat:
- Immediately jump to the opposite side, performing the same high knee motion.
- Continue alternating sides for a set number of repetitions or for a designated time.

Form Tips:
- Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to stabilize your body.
- Focus on landing softly to protect your knees and joints.
- Maintain a steady rhythm to keep your heart rate elevated.

Cool Down:
- After completing your sets, perform gentle stretches for your legs and hips to help with recovery.
