How to: Resistance Band Long Jump
- Start by securely attaching a resistance band to a sturdy anchor point at ground level.
- Stand facing away from the anchor, holding the band securely.
- With feet shoulder-width apart, lower into a squat, then explosively jump forward while pulling the band upwards.
- Land softly, keeping your knees slightly bent, and immediately lower into the next squat for another jump.
Common Mistakes
- Leaning too far forward during the jump.
- Landing heavily which can lead to injury.
- Not using the arms effectively to enhance jump height.
Modifications
- Perform the jump without the resistance band for beginners.
- Reduce the range of motion until comfortable.
Tips
- Ensure you maintain a straight back while jumping.
- Use your arms for momentum during the jump.
- Begin with shorter jumps to master the technique.
