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:

- 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.
