Instructions

  1. Setup:

    • Stand upright with a dumbbell in each hand.

    • Keep your feet shoulder-width apart, arms at your sides.

  2. Starting Position:

    • Engage your core and maintain a straight posture.

    • Ensure that your back is straight and your shoulders are relaxed.

  3. Squat:

    • Lower your body into a squat by bending your knees and pushing your hips back.

    • Keep your chest lifted and do not let your knees extend past your toes.

    • Lower down until your thighs are parallel to the ground or as low as you can comfortably go.

  4. Lunge:

    • From the squat position, push through your heels to return to standing.

    • Step forward with your right foot into a lunge, lowering your hips until both knees are bent at a 90-degree angle.

    • Ensure that your front knee is directly above your ankle.

  5. Jump:

    • From the lunge, explosively push off with your front foot and jump straight up.

    • Land softly back into the starting position with your feet shoulder-width apart.

  6. Repeat:

    • Perform another squat, followed by a lunge on the left foot, and then another jump.

    • Continue alternating sides with each lunge and repeating the squat-jump sequence.

Tips:

  • Start with lighter weights until you are comfortable with the movements.

  • Keep your movements controlled to maintain balance and prevent injury.

  • Focus on breathing: inhale as you lower into the squat and lunge, exhale as you jump.

Cool-down:

  • After completing your sets, perform a cool-down stretch to relax your muscles.
