It's Day 17!!
Switch lunge jumps are on the menu, which means your legs are bout ta BURNNN!
Now, 1 week ago, on Day 10, I wrote up a whole checklist of tips for proper form when it comes to lunges. All of that applies here each & every time you land in a lunge. So go back to Day 10 & read over that list if you need a refresher! And now that we’re jumping remember that:
- you’re moving straight up & down - moving forward as you jump may feel natural, but it’ll likely throw off your alignment
- when you land, immediately start bending your knees to return to a lunge again so that your joints don’t take a beating
- jump just high enough to scissor your legs in the air. There’s no need to be a hero! The higher you go, the harder you’ll land - which isn’t exactly what our ankles, knees or hips need
- also, when you land, bend each knee equally - to 90-degree angles - as we covered in Day 10’s post about lunges 😉
Alright!! Let’s get to work!
