- When you land, lower your body back into the squat position to complete one rep.
Jumping Lunges:
- Starting standing with feet shoulder-width apart.
- Jump your left leg forward and your right leg back into a lunge, with both knees at 90 degrees.
- Jump up and switch your legs in midair so that you land in a lunge with your right leg in front.
- Continue jumping back and forth, pausing as little as possible.
Air Squat:
- Keep your feet at shoulder width apart and pointed straight ahead.
- When squatting, your hips will move down and back.
- Your lumbar curve should be maintained, and your heels should stay flat on the floor the entire time.
- In air squats, your hips will descend lower than your knees
Lunges:
- Start by standing up tall.
- Step forward with one foot until your leg reaches a 90-degree angle. Your rear knee should remain parallel to the ground and your front knee shouldn’t go beyond your toes.
- Lift your front lunging leg to return to the starting position.
- Repeat with the other leg. Switch off between legs until you’ve completed the reps.
