How to: Single Leg Board Jump
- Stand on one leg, with your weight evenly distributed over your foot.
- Bend your knee slightly and prepare to jump.
- Jump off the standing leg, trying to reach a height you're comfortable with.
- Land softly back on the same leg, using your arms for balance.
- Repeat for the recommended number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Not using full range of motion in the jump.
- Losing balance upon landing.
- Not engaging the core, leading to poor stability.
Modifications
- Perform the jump with support from a sturdy object like a wall or rail.
- Use a lower jump to start, or transition to step-ups for a gentler alternative.
Tips
- Land softly on the jumping leg to protect your joints.
- Engage your core throughout the jump for better stability.
- Start with lower jumps and gradually increase height as you gain confidence.
