Tips

Warm-up

Start with a proper warm-up to prepare your muscles and joints for the exercise.

Maintain proper form

Keep your torso upright and your chest lifted throughout the entire exercise. This will help maintain good posture and protect your spine.

Knee positioning

In both the lunge and squat positions, aim to keep your front knee directly above your ankle, and your back knee hovering just above the ground in the lunge. In the squat position, ensure your knees do not collapse inward and are aligned with your toes.

Land softly

Land gently on the balls of your feet, rolling back onto your heels to minimize the impact on your joints, both during lunges and squat jumps.

Use your arms

Swing your arms to help generate momentum and maintain balance during the jumps.

Engage your core

Keep your core muscles engaged to help stabilize your body and maintain proper form.

Controlled movement

Focus on proper form and landing technique rather than speed. Perform the exercise in a controlled manner to minimize the risk of injury.

Breathing

Coordinate your breathing with the movement. Inhale as you lower into the lunge or squat position and exhale as you jump and switch legs or return to a squat.

Modify if needed

If you find Lunges to Squat Jump too challenging initially, try performing alternating lunges and regular squats without the jump, gradually incorporating the jump as you build strength and stability.
