Resistance Band Long Jump
The standing long jump against a long band looped round the hips and anchored behind; the band fights the take-off and pulls you back.
How to do it
Setup
A long band round the hips, anchored behind at hip height, stepped out until taut, feet hip-width.
Steps
- Hinge and swing the arms back against the band's pull.
- Jump forward as far as the band allows.
- Land in a squat, hold it, then walk back slowly.
Common mistakes
Letting the band yank you back after the landing: brace and hold the squat, then walk back. Band anchored too low or too high: at hip height it pulls straight back. Knees buckling in the catch: track them over the toes.
Breathing
Exhale on the jump, inhale walking back.
