How to: Single Leg Hip Thrust Jump
- Begin seated on the floor with one foot flat on the ground and the other leg extended.
- Engage your glutes and drive through the heel of the grounded foot to lift your hips.
- As you reach the peak of the hip thrust, quickly jump off the grounded foot, lifting the extended leg into a jump.
- Land softly by bending the knee of the grounded leg and preparing for the next repetition.
Common Mistakes
- Allowing the opposite leg to drop too low during the jump.
- Not using the core muscles for stabilization.
- Landing too hard on the feet.
Modifications
- Perform the jump without the leg thrust for a lower-impact option.
- Use a soft surface or mat to reduce impact during landing.
Tips
- Focus on maintaining balance and stability while performing the jump.
- Engage your core to support your back throughout the movement.
- Use a controlled motion for landing to minimize impact on the joints.
