Tutorial: Lunge Jump With Rotation

16th April 2018

WHAT

Lunge jump with rotation is an intense body weight exercise that combines leg and trunk strength.

  • Lunge is a functional exercise and it’s a fundamental movement pattern.
  • Performing it in an alternated way, we resemble walking movement patterns.
  • By adding jumps to this exercise, we burn more calories.
  • With the torso twist, we increase trunk strength, mobilization and stabilization.

HOW

  • Fix the bar on the strips at chest level.
  • Stand in front the bar, with your feet at hip width and one foot in front of the other. Like in a big step.
  • Engage the core and twist your trunk to the side of the leg you’ve chosen to place in the front first.
  • With the trunk highly stable, jump, switch legs and twist your trunk to the opposite side.

WHY

  • The lunge jump with rotation improves and harmonizes the movement between legs and trunk.
  • A lunge increases strength on legs, glutes and thighs.
  • It stabilizes the trunk and improves balance.
  • By adding a bigger trunk twist and higher jumps, we can increase muscle activity and burn more calories.
