Cardio Lunge
Jump up out of a deep lunge with a running arm swing and land back in the same lunge; the legs do not switch.
How to do it
Setup
Deep lunge, back knee near the floor, arms bent as in running.
Steps
- Drive up through both feet and jump, arms pumping.
- Keep the same leg in front while in the air.
- Land soft and sink back into the lunge; switch legs after the set.
Common mistakes
Back knee slamming the floor: stop just above it. Front knee caving on the landing: keep it over the toes. Arms flailing: pump them in rhythm, as in running.
Breathing
Exhale on the jump, inhale in the lunge.
