Instructions
1. Begin in a standing position with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Start by bending your knees slightly to get into a semi-squat position, ready for a jump.
3. Push off the ground with both feet and jump upwards.
4. While in the air, switch the position of your legs: bring the front leg to the back and the back leg to the front, as if doing a scissor kick.
5. Land softly on the balls of your feet, with your knees slightly bent to absorb the impact.
6. Immediately jump again, switching your legs in the air once more.
7. Continue the exercise by alternating the legs with each hop, ensuring that you are keeping a steady rhythm and maintaining balance.
8. Count each switch as one rep and aim to perform the exercise for a set number of reps or a specific time interval.
9. As you get more comfortable with the exercise, increase the speed and height of your jumps to intensify the workout.
Remember to engage your core throughout the movement for stability, and focus on maintaining a good form to prevent injuries. Warm up before beginning the exercise and cool down afterwards to help with muscle recovery.
