1. Starting Position:
- Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Keep your arms relaxed at your sides.
2. Jumping:
- Engage your core muscles.
- Bend your knees slightly and prepare to jump.
- As you jump, swing your arms overhead and spread your legs apart to perform a split lunge.
3. Landing:
- Land softly with your right foot forward and your left foot back, bending both knees to about 90 degrees.
- Your right knee should be directly over your right ankle. Your left knee should hover just above the ground.
4. Return Jump:
- Push off with your front foot (right foot) to jump back to the starting position.
- Swing your arms back down as you return to a standing position.
5. Repeat:
- Immediately jump again, this time landing with your left foot forward and right foot back into the lunge position.
- Continue alternating legs while maintaining the swinging arm motion.
6. Breathing:
- Inhale as you prepare to jump and exhale as you land in the lunge position.
7. Repetitions:
- Aim for 10-15 repetitions on each leg, resting as needed between sets.
Tips:
- Keep your movements controlled and focus on maintaining balance.
- Ensure your knees do not extend past your toes during the lunge.
- As you gain confidence, you can increase the speed of your jumps.
