How to: Jump Split with Hands on Hip

  1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart.
  2. Jump forward while splitting your legs into a lunge position, landing softly.
  3. Keep your hands on your hips for balance.
  4. Return to the starting position and repeat.

Common Mistakes

  • Landing harshly on the ground, increasing injury risk.
  • Not engaging the core, which could lead to instability.
  • Not using arms for balance during the jump.

Modifications

  • Perform the jumps without the split for lower impact.
  • Adjust the depth of the jump based on comfort and ability.

Tips
