Tutorial: Lunge Jump With Rotation

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.
