Instructions
1. Begin by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms at your sides.
2. Take a large step to the side with one foot, keeping the other foot planted.
3. Bend the knee of the stepping leg and lower your hips back and down, while keeping the other leg straight. This is the side lunge position.
4. Push off through the heel of the bent leg to bring yourself back to a standing position, but instead of stopping here, add a hop, driving upward with the power from your muscles.
5. Land softly on the same side you lunged to and immediately go into another side lunge, maintaining stability and control.
6. Continue this motion for the desired number of reps, then switch to the other side and repeat.
Make sure to keep your torso upright during the movement, and be mindful of your knee tracking over the toes of your bent leg to prevent injury.
