Standing Scissors Jump (Plyometrics)
Starting Position:
1. Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart.
2. Keep your shoulders relaxed and your arms at your sides.
Movement Instructions:
1. Jump: Bend your knees slightly and jump off the ground.
2. Switch Legs: While in the air, bring your right leg forward and your left leg back, crossing them as if performing a scissor motion.
3. Land Softly: As you land, try to absorb the impact by bending your knees. Ensure your feet land hip-width apart to maintain balance.
4. Repeat: Immediately jump again, switching the position of your legs—bring your left leg forward and your right leg back.
Tips:
- Focus on landing softly to reduce the impact on your joints.
- Keep your core engaged throughout the movement for stability.
- Start with a few repetitions and gradually increase as you feel more comfortable.
