Switching Downward Punch

1. Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart. Your arms should be raised at about shoulder height with fists clenched, in preparation for punching movements.

2. Shift your weight onto your right leg, bend your right knee, and step back with your left leg into a staggered stance, while punching downward diagonally across your body with your left arm.

3. Quickly push off your right foot to explode upward and switch your stance mid-air, landing with the left leg forward, bending your left knee, and your right leg back.

4. Simultaneously, punch downward diagonally across your body with your right arm, as you land in the new staggered stance.

5. Continue alternating the punching motion with the opposite arm as you switch stances, maintaining a fast and rhythmic tempo.

6. Keep your core tight and engaged throughout the movement. Ensure you maintain your balance and control with each punch and landing.

7. Focus on breathing evenly throughout the exercise, exhaling during each punch.

8. Perform the exercise for the desired number of repetitions or for a set duration, maintaining consistent intensity throughout.

Note: This exercise is plyometric and involves jumping, therefore, it should be performed on a surface that has some level of shock absorbency to protect the joints. Ensure you warm up adequately before beginning to reduce the risk of injury.
