Instructions
1. Stand with your feet staggered, one foot in front of the other, holding a dumbbell in each hand at arm's length by your sides.
2. Lower into a lunge position by bending your knees, ensuring your front knee does not pass your toes and your back knee hovers just above the ground.
3. Explosively jump straight up, using the power from your legs to lift your body off the ground.
4. While in the air, quickly switch the positions of your feet, bringing the back foot forward and the front foot back.
5. Land softly back into the lunge position, now with the opposite leg in the front.
6. Make sure to maintain balance and control throughout the movement, engaging your core to stabilize your body.
7. Continue to perform the jumps while alternating legs, for a set number of repetitions or time.
8. Always ensure proper form to prevent injury and to gain the most from the exercise. Adapt the weight of the dumbbells and intensity according to your fitness level.
