How to Do
How to Do Split Squat Jumps
The split squat jumps should begin with good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.
If any pain is experienced, immediately stop the split squat jumps.
Beginning
Beginning Split Squat Jumps
1. Step one foot back and take a deep lunge, bending both knees as if you were about to half-kneel on the ground.
2. As you lunge back, make sure your front heel is down. Then rocket up and jump out of the lunge to switch to the other side and land in a lunge.
