Jumping lunge high knee

To initiate the High Knee Jumping Lunges, start by stepping into a lunge where the legs are approximately hip-width apart. Place the front leg far enough in front of your body to form an approximate right angle between the upper and lower legs. Your arms hang at the sides of your body, the back remains upright, and the lower part maintains a slight arch to protect the spine. Keep your gaze forward and engage the abdominal muscles to prepare for the High Knee Jumping Lunges.

Movement execution

For the High Knee Jumping Lunges, dynamically push off the ground with your feet to jump straight into the air. The upper body neither leans backward nor forward. Ensure that you propel yourself completely straight into the air. The front leg undergoes a natural extension while you pull the back knee towards your abdomen. After landing, stand upright with both legs hip-width apart. The upper body is erect, and the lower back maintains its natural arch. Subsequently, jump again into the lunge, but this time with reversed leg positions. The former back leg becomes the front supporting leg, and the former front leg is stretched backward. You can then proceed with additional repetitions.
