Instructions for Proper Form
The TRX Reverse Lunge to Jump combines the benefits of lunges with the explosive power of jumps. This compound exercise targets the lower body muscles, including the glutes, hamstrings, and quadriceps, while the jumping motion increases power and cardiovascular endurance. The TRX straps assist in maintaining form and balance, making it a versatile exercise for all fitness levels
- Stand upright on your right extended leg with your left knee bent to 90 degrees holding onto the TRX handles at shoulder height with slightly bent elbows. Bend your right knee and hips to descend into a lunge until your left knee reaches just above the floor. Explosively return to an upright position as you jump your right foot off the floor. Repeat for the allotted repetitions and repeat with the opposite side.
