Jumping lunge with stop

To perform Jumping Lunges with a Stop, start with a lunge by taking a step forward from a hip-width stance. The front leg forms a right angle between the upper and lower leg. Both feet point in the same direction, and your gaze is forward. Keep your back upright, with the lower part in a natural arch. Initially, the arms can be held at the sides, and during the jump, they move dynamically and naturally.

Movement execution

Initiate the sequence by explosively jumping to return to an upright position. Press predominantly through the heel of the front foot. The upper body stays upright, and you bring both legs back together, approximately hip-width apart. Now, you are in an upright position, holding both arms in front of your body. After a brief pause, jump again into the lunge, inhaling. The front leg once again forms a right angle, and the knee should hover above the foot. Depending on preference, you can alternate training each leg or focus on one side first before switching to the other.
